Probably sddm-modified-init was not installed together with KDE DE:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install sddm-modified-init -y

However you also need to put it in autostart...

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2024 10:30 am**

Or boot systemd... this is an incompatibility between sddm and sysvinit.

no you don't. its an init script, runs before user log in.

but installing the package is the answer

the user must accept the new file over the existing /etc/init.d/sddm file. I'm not sure the -y will do that automatically. It might, I just don't remember.

Well i did...and could not login got a command line prompt but the characters were not rihght...
anyway i logged in with systemd , removed the package sddm-modified-init , but still i cant log in (on syvinit i believe) only with systemd!!!
On systemd loggin all actions are enabled!!!

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2024 1:34 pm**

the actions will not be enalbed without our sddm-modified-init script installed and working.

Ah, of course. I feel stupid, that would already be nonsense: You first login and then a command or script starts something to make the login manager work / work correctly

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2024 1:50 pm**

Oh, just a moment:

If I'm not wrong on KDE release just the sddm-modified-init is installed and sddm is not . So, it needs to be alone. (When you installed KDE DE (normally) sddm was installed and now they are together).

Shortly: remove sddm and install sddm-modified-init

In case of a problem you can also boot with any (MX / antiX) live media and use "Chroot Rescue Scan" from menu.

All the options are available for me with an installed MX-23.3 KDE booted to sys-v.

These are the default files that are installed.

Well now i have both sddm and sddm-modified-init and i can only boot with systemd....
On sysvinit i get a tty i cant loggin...

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2024 2:14 pm**

"If you like only" you can also do one of these:

Make systemd the default with "MX Boot Options" (at least till it's solved)

or install lightdm (it worked fine for another KDE user in another thread, so: "proven to work").

sddm must be installed.

sddm-modified-init replaces the /etc/init.d/sddm init script provided by sddm. for reference, the contents are below:.

Make systemd the default with "MX Boot Options" (at least till it's solved)

That is what i have done for now...
Another thing i see is that /etc/sddm.conf is empty

All the options are available for me with an installed MX-23.3 KDE booted to sys-v.

Maybe is that i had XFCE installed and on top of that installed KDE...
Removed XFCE but lightdm is still installed!!!

or install lightdm (it worked fine for another KDE user in another thread, so: "proven to work").

How can i switch from sddm to lightdm?
