1 Hi there,
2
3 After last update, on one machine sddm-0.17.0-r1 no longer does not anything
4 anymore. Systemd starts the service, and systemctl status shows that the sddm
5 is running, and also ps jax shows a running sddm.

7 apollo ~ # systemctl status sddm

23 But thats all. It does not create a log file (/var/log/sddm.log not touched, no
24 entry), it does not start X (no process). It seems like sddm is starting and
25 waiting for something I don't know.
26
27 Any ideas?
