SDDM not launching Plasma login screen
by Paraply from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6QJ8F)
Hi everybody -
As a relatively longtime Arch user, this one stumps me. I reinstalled Plasma, the system boots to 'graphical.target' on TTY1, but SDDM does not go on to launch the graphical login screen. The system works fine otherwise, I can login to user and root cmd-lines through the TTY's.
When I try 'startplasma-x11', I get:
Code:$DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X serverSo I looked at /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Code:(...)
[33.019] (**) | | -->"NVIDIA Card"
[33.019] (==) No monitor spcified for screen "Default Screen Section"
(...)
[33.019] (**) using VT number 2
[33.019] (II) systemd-logind: logind integration requires -keeptty and -keeptty was not provided, disabling logind integration
Fatal server error
[33.049] (EE) no screens found(EE)
(...)This is the only configuration file in /etc/x11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf
Code:Section Device
Identifier "NVIDIA Card"
Driver "nouveau"
EndSectionWhere can I set '-keeptty', and how do I make sddm and xorg detect a screen? I have not needed to create xorg config files for many years - it is even advised against. Any help is much appreciated.
