It was a suggestion, a guess out of the dark. I didn't tell you to do
it, I merely asked whether this might help in this case. I didn't know
about the systemd generators at the time then.

I am not denying that. But that applied to the case of your installed
system, not for a fresh installation. As I pointed out earlier, I did
a clean and fresh unmodified installation and used the defaults and
KDM worked out-of-the-box. Again, either the image you are using
is broken or you are doing something fundamentally wrong as it worked
for me.

It was a _suggestion_, I was not saying _at all_ that this was the
guaranteed solution. And, if you read further, I did my own experiments
and could not reproduce your problem on a clean installation.

No, I did not miss anything at all since I said previously that
I did a fresh and clean install with just KDM installed using
tasksel and it worked.
I can, btw, not examine your qemu image since you did not provide
me with any passwords. I would have mount it manually now and modify
the passwd database but you could have just told me the password.
