    SDDM wont start [black screen on startup]

    Hi

    I have Kubuntu 16.10 and startup gives black screen - login manager (sddm) does not start.

    sddm: Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x50501) with this library (version 0x50601)

    Can anyone help?

    Here is some log files
    kern.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/23542132/
    Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/23542137/
    journalctl     http://paste.ubuntu.com/23542483/

    As I understand when login manager is missing then user should be able to start X (or kde) from command line also. But 'startkde' or 'startx' both fail.
    startkde complaining that: $DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server
    startx: xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (operation not permitted)
    xinit: connection to X server lost

    I would not like to reinstall the whole system

    At the moment I can use lightdm as login manager and lxde desktop, but none of qt applications actually can run - all give the same error msg: Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x50501) with this library (version 0x50601)

      How did you get your 16.10 system? Was it an 'upgrade' from an earlier existing system, and if 'yes', which system and version?

      What you are describing isn't something that would be seen if this installation were 'fresh'; installed from a LiveDVD/USB onto a 'clean' (no existing Linux OS) HDD.

        I guess I upgraded from 16.04 a while ago (cant remember exactly when), repositories list shows previous version (16.04) repositories:

          That's your /etc/apt/sources.list. I suspect you may have third-party repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list.d. Will need to see those as well.
