XOrg does not start automatically after switching to KDE on Fedora
by sreyan32 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5A45E)
I just switched to KDE on Fedora, but when I now start my laptop the KDE display manager does not automatically start with boot.
It halts at :
Code:localhost login:I have to manually type in my user and password, then issue the command startx then SDDM actually starts.
How can I make it so that it starts on boot like GDM ?
These are the commands I used to install and enable KDE, taken from here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KDE
Code:sudo dnf install @kde-desktop Code:sudo dnf install switchdesk-gui (then selected Plasma)
Code:sudo dnf install system-switch-displaymanager(this did not work as there is no such component in the repos)
Then I disabled to GDM and enabled SDDM via:
Code:sudo systemctl disable gdm Code:sudo systemctl enable sddm
So can someone help me ? Let me know if any other diagnostic info is needed.
Where did I go wrong ?
