SDDM not launched at boot

[nicofrand]

Hi,

when I boot my computer, sddm is not launched, only a TTY (TTY1 it appears).
I have to manually enter "service sddm start".

Is there anyway to fix this ?

Has worked for me, and some others posting in that thread.

Last week Ubuntu switched over to Systemd for boot system. There was a strange issue during the switchover where login manager SDDM suddenly disabled itself from starting. If you get that just run:

    systemctl enable sddm

So this wouldn't show up with a fresh install with the latest packages?

I reinstalled today from a daily iso. I did not need to manually enable sddm, it was already enabled, and launched as expected.
