Public bug reported:
Some time in the last few days, on the Bionic beta, SDDM fails to start.
Visible symptom is the Kubuntu logo pulsing for around a minute
(normally replaced by graphical login screen in a few seconds). Then
drops to text mode with single line at the top saying / is clean. I can
change to the 2nd text console, and run "sddm" fine.
End of journalctl -b | grep sddm :
