MicroOS graphical interface settings not taking effect

Since snapshot 20250612, whether it’s a rolling update or a fresh install , system always boot up to the tty console even I set the default startup to graphical interface. I can still turn in to default KDE desktop via the command ‘startplasma-wayland’ after login , but this is still inconvenient for desktop environments.

I’m glad I saw this post before it happened to me: Kalpa Desktop: "Heads up, #Kalpa users I made a change in plasma…" - Fosstodon

In short, after log in (e.g. via tty) run:

sudo systemctl disable display-manager-legacy.service
sudo systemctl enable --now sddm.service

and the GUI should come up.


Although my old MicroOS Desktop KDE (alpha) install is not branded as Kalpa, it often seems like a good idea to follow Kalpa for anything KDE related.
