Public bug reported:
Please note: there are obviously several different causes for this
error. Other reports on launchpad and elsewhere identified sddm,
systemd, nvidia drivers and grub config. Since none of the solutions
mentioned there helped in my case, I am deliberately leaving the
information on the source package open.
I have upgraded to Kubuntu Vivid 15.04 shortly after the final release
and used that without issues until two days ago when I ran updates (apt
log attached).
Ran »sudo systemctl enable sddm.service -f«, then reboot: no change.
Changed the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT option in /etc/default/grub to
include »nomodeset«: no change. Other variations of this line did not
help, either.
I do not have nvidia or nouveau driver packages installed.
I am aware that 219 is the current systemd version, so I tried the
upstart option in grub. Hangs, too (though with different error
message).
»systemctl start sddm« asks for password, the returns »authentication
complete« (in all-caps); nothing else happens.
Re-installing linux-generic or kubuntu-desktop had no effect.
What can I do to at least identify the cause of this issue?
