So following these instructions to install Ubuntu 20.04 onto ZFS Root, I got KDE Neon installed (neon-desktop virtual package). Everything seems good, except when I boot up there's no GUI login. I found SDDM wasn't enabled, so I enabled it systemctl enable sddm. When I do systemctl status sddm it now shows it's Active, running, no errors.

Yet even after I reboot, nothing shows up as a login interface. When I login, and run startx, Plasma DE does startup and run fine, everything seems good.

EDIT: systemctl get-default output is graphical.target

EDIT2: Some new information. Booting with nomodeset kernel parameter has it load up fine on boot. Without that, it just acts as it did previously

  • Hello. Can you give us the output of systemctl get-default?
