[SOLVED] Error with sddm at Boot, start only from root tty

Khere · 2020-09-14 16:02:37

Hi i have a problem with sddm, when i boot my O.S. it doesn't start and start only if i log in with root user and start the service with systemctl.
How can i fix that ?

That's the output of journalct -b -u sddm :

There's no issue in that log. Did you forget to enable the service? If that isn't it you might be running into a race condition with SDDM and your graphics adapter in which case you want to enable early KMS for whichever module applies. Otherwise post a complete

sudo journalctl -b

from an affected boot as well as a xorg.log if present.

set 15 10:04:49 arch systemd[1]: Queued start job for default target Multi-User System.

There's no attempt at the graphical target made, read my first link and all links in that section.

What i have to change in usr/share/xsessions/plasma.desktop
That's my plasma.desktop file instructions

[Desktop Entry]
Type=XSession
Exec=/usr/bin/startplasma-x11
TryExec=/usr/bin/startplasma-x11
X-KDE-PluginInfo-Version=5.19.5

Thx for your help.

Read V1del's first post. Have you at least enabled sddm.service?

Khere · 2020-09-15 13:06:04

I have enabled sddm.service , after open the issue

Read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … _boot_into

and maybe post

systemctl status sddm graphical.target display-manager
systemctl get-default
ls -l /usr/lib/systemd/system/default.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target

Also I think you did look at the wrong section in the wiki that you posted your xsession file. If one posts a link with a headline the browser will scroll that section to the top of the view, you need to read the section I posted not the one talking about xsessions below it.

Please wrap outputs in [ code ] [ /code ] tags without the spaces.

Your default target is still wrong, and for some reason you seem to have a manually allocated multi-user.target that overrides the default set by the enablement:

rm /etc/systemd/system/default.target
