Upgrade to Plasma 5.2.1...

Hi,
The last batch of updates from next-backports broke my system.
Got the ksmserver error also.

Logging from the Terminal first error stated:

systemd-logind[899]: Failed to start user service: Unknown Unit: user @1000.service.

Also invoking startx brings up xservice error message that there are no screens found.

There is a permissions issue between systemd and/or PAM that is not allowing login.

From checking out posts on the errors I also tried to check the systemctl command to locate what was wrong.
According to the feedback, systemd is not running. it seems to be controlling the login permissions.
With this, I think that the X and ksmserver are failing.

Will need some suggestions on checking and/or re-registering permissions to get logged in to the Desktop.

Hopefully, the next batch of updates will repair this.

Likely all related to the update. Systemd is present, but is not actually used by default yet. Read previous posts about a temp fix, or hopeful progress to come in the plasma-next repos
