I have always used KDE as the display manager and desktop. I noticed a similar
problem
posted but none of its recommendations were appropriate for my system.
I found the graphical.target set as the default (systemctl get-default). Then
I noticed
the graphical.target expects to have a display-manager.service but the
display-manager.service file was missing. from the /etc/systemd/system
directory.
I copied the /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service file from a fedora 23
system
and enabled the service (systemctl enable display-manager.service). Started
the service
(systemctl start display-manager.service) and poof the graphical kde login
manager and
desktop returned.
Well, first of all, /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service should*not* be
a file,
but a symbolic link.
It should either link to /usr/lib/systemd/system/sddm.service or
/usr/lib/systemd/system/kdm.service if you are using kdm.
What does "systemctl status display-manager" return?
Mr Greshko,
Thanks very much for the correction. I did not look for symbolic links and I
did not have sddm installed on my system. I did have a kdm.service file and
enabling kdm creates the link as expected. I can use sddm if that is going to
be the future, but I still prefer kdm - and with some advice from this list I
can correctly use either one.
The systemctl status display-manager command returns the following (before I
added the display-manager.service file):
[] display-manager.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)
