Always have to type startx to get into KDE

[rpra006]

Hi,
I had a issue with xserver and i followed following instructions to fix it and this did fix the issue but now i have to type startx to get into kde everytime i reboot or restart the laptop.
I followed following instructions to fix my original xserver issue and after these steps i have to always type startx
remove:

sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg
install:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg
reconfigure:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Following command does not seem to to anything for me sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , is it suppose to prompt for any inputs from the user?

thanks for all your help.

In purging everything related to the X server you likely also took out the Display Manager, which starts X and puts up the login window. I think it's SDDM for Kubuntu.


sudo apt install sddm or
sudo dpkg-reconfigure sddm should do it, depending on whether you uninstalled it in your first step or simply deselected it.
