¡Hola Alexander!

I tried to do a fresh install of Debian Testing with KDE. After installing it, SDDM did not launch. Launching it manually with "sudo systemctl start sddm" did not have effect also.

"systemctl status sddm" shows the following:

● sddm.service - Simple Desktop Display Manager

  Memory: 11.7M
  CGroup: /system.slice/sddm.service
          └─421 /usr/bin/sddm

Though I don't see the login screen, tty7 is blank.

I tried to rebuild and install sddm from Ubuntu Bionic (where it works), but met the same problem. Installing sddm 0.14.0-4 from stable did solve the problem.

Is X started at all?

What's the output of `` update-alternatives --query sddm-debian-theme `` ?

It seems that there is a known issue upstream with some nvidia drivers:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sddm/+bug/1762885
https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1019

Are you using a nvidia card? Can you please check if the problem goes away with an older version of the nvidia drivers?

Happy hacking,
