SDDM not starting at Run Level 4
by Desiderius from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5H4A6)
Hi all
After many tries ( see discussion in "Little pb with KDE5", I have decided to comment out
the line of config for v3D and revert back to my orinal configuration of /boot/config.txt.
I have put the run Level to Four and restarted.
The boot finishes normally but stays on console ; looking at the boot , I check that the run Level is well 4 and that I have the message "Starting X session" : yes !
I log as root and run :
Code: /etc/rc.d/rc.4It stays waiting ; relaunch with "sh -x", I see that the command :
Code: exec /usr/bin/sddmis launched but waits without making anything !
I log as a normal user , starts Plasma with "startx" and it works normally !
In an Xterm, as root, I retry to launch : Code: /etc/rc.d/rc.4and here, I have an output saying that the daemon has started !
Any idea why this does not work at the boot ?
