Selecting a session by the sddm greater - Was: Run Gnome or Mate [snip]

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi,

I changed the subject, but kept the thread, because you more likely get
a reply from somebody familiar with sddm, by mentioning the display
manager.

Please post the output of

  ls -l /usr/share/xsessions/

and

  grep SessionDir /etc/sddm.conf

Note, I'm not using and never used sddm, I only checked the man page

  http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man5/sddm.conf.5.html

If nobody from this mailing list should be able to help you, then
consider to ask Kubuntu related questions at

and/or

I even didn't know that kdm was replaced by sddm. It's KDE related,
since it's the KDE session manager. It doesn't matter that you want to
start another desktop environment session.

You clicked all available icons of the greeter and no menu that opened
showed a session? What is shown by a left-click or right-click, if the
mouse cursor hovers somewhere on the screen? IOW if it doesn't hover
over an icon and not over any other widget.

Regards,
Ralf
