[Bug 1431332] Re: sddm not starting after upgrade
I can confirm the sddm start issue after upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 16.04. From /etc/syslog: chdir( /var/lib/sddm ) failed for user: "sddm" /var/lib/sddm was not existing in my case. So, I created it and adapted its permissions: sudo mkdir /var/lib/sddm sudo chown -R sddm:sddm /var/lib/sddm After that, I "service sddm restart" made sddm work again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1431332 Title: sddm not starting after upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sddm/+bug/1431332/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I was asked to fix a machine affected by this after upgrading from trusty to xenial (LTS releases). On this machine systemctl start sddm started sddm successfully, but enable did nothing. Reinstalling the sddm package added the previously missing /etc/systems/system/display-manager.service symlink, which fixed the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1431332 Title: sddm not starting after upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sddm/+bug/1431332/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Uff, this same starting 219 version freeze after yesterday's upgrade happened to me, too.

[Bug 1431332] Re: sddm not starting after upgrade
Hi everyone! I think I have this bug or similar. I have Kubuntu 15.04, and last night I installed a new driver for the NVIDIA GEFORCE of my laptop, because it said (the manager) it was recommended. While the driver was downloaded and installed a new system update appeared, but I decided not to update. After a while, my laptop went black, only the arrow was visible, I had to reboot and then appeared a message saying sddm-greeter had failed and another saying plasma had failed. After that only the arrow and crocky (the apps launcher) were visible, the rest was black, I could open firefox, but had no wi fi. After a second reboot, all that happens is similar to what other people say here. I tryed "sudo systemctl enable sddm" / "sudo reboot" and other things I found but nothing works. Please if someone knows a way to fix this tell me, I don't want to reinstall the OS...

Why is this invalid? Nothing has changed. Today I was surfing with chrome when I noticed that the panel and application launcher and whole desktop actually disappeared. Went black. After a reboot I log in but all there is is the black screen and mouse pointer. I've tried to flush .kde and .config directories, but nothing changes. I had a backup of my working home directory, but restoring it does not help either. I had created another user, with which the desktop is wstill orking. I copied all directories beginning with a dot to my own directory and chmoded, but no. Plasma is dead.

[Bug 1431332] Re: sddm not starting after upgrade
ok. Here we go again. After my previous post I did a fresh install. All good. I updated a few times, and still all good. I had decided not to update any more, because I had a feeling that it will break up again. For being stupid, I updated it yesterday anyway.: The result is that after login, the horizontal bar goes all the way to the right as it is supposed to, but it stays there for a (too) long time. Then the screen goes black. Mouse pointer is visible and moving, but the screen is black. Pressing alt-f2 gives the command field and I can type in it, but pressing enter does nothing.
