Public bug reported:

I originally installed Ubuntu MATE 14.10 which I then updated to 15.04.
At some point I decided to try KDE Plasma 5, so I installed the kubuntu-
desktop package.

I got the prompt asking me whether I wish to run lightdm or sddm and I
chose lightdm. However after reboot I got black screen which loaded
plasma cursors and I was unable to do anything without going to TTY.

Running "systemctl status lightdm && systemctl status sddm" told me that
they both were running and I solved this with "systemctl disable sddm"
and rebooted and got lightdm normally.

I think this might have something to do with Ubuntu 15.04 using systemd
by default and sddm not having systemd unit.

PS. I am not fully sure if this is sddm issue, but I feel this is. Feel free to 
move this to correct place if I am wrong.
PPS. I experienced this week or two ago, but I don't think there have been 
upgrades to these packages, so I am sorry if this is known issue and already 
fixed.
