Some things to check:

ps  aux  |  grep lightdm         <---- checks for the existence of 
lightdm running   You should get one line:    grep lightdm which just 
shows the cmd you issued

ps aux | grep sddm        <===  you should get lots of output showing 
that sddm is running.

On the other hand, some people say that sddm isn't starting upon a 
boot.   You should get about 11 lines of output from the grep sddm line 
above.


Been googling the problem and someone had both of them running which 
caused problems.
