[SOLVED] SDDM not starting out of the box(won't start at boot)

I use this guide VMware/Installing Arch as a guest for install on vmware fusion

lxqt as desktop environment, sddm and breeze-icons installed
screen locker did not installed (needed for vm?)

what installed for video

xf86-video-vmware mesa

systemctl status sddm.service

● sddm.service - Simple Desktop Display Manager
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/sddm.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
     Docs: man:sddm(1)
           man:sddm.conf(5)

screen of system boot status after reboot

sddm not starting or something is stopping system boot

the solution was found in increasing memory
was 1GB, for some reason it was not enough. With 2GB works

Haveged - did not help me
