Bug#755359: [kdm] systemd seem to fail to start display-manager.service
thanks for your reply, but
kdm is located at /usr/bin/kdm and not /usr/sbin/kdm
with the correct kdm.service file the display manager won't start and
the message about display-manager.service still exists.
after a boot the command systemctl status kdm.service shows me this
● kdm.service - KDE Display Manager
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/kdm.service; static)
Drop-In: /run/systemd/generator/kdm.service.d
└─50-kdm-$x-display-manager.conf
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:kdm(1)
If I try to restart the kdm service with systemctl restart kdm or
/etc/init.d/kdm restart I see an error
aftert this systemctl status kdm.service prints:
● kdm.service - KDE Display Manager
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/kdm.service; static)

Hello Franceso!
kdm is missing a systemd service file. I am not sure whether this is
related to your problem, but you could add the attached kdm.service
file and add it to /lib/systemd/system and see if that fixes your
problem.
Cheers,
Adrian
