As I said, that was a test system and there was only KDM installed, nothing else. I have to poke around a bit more.

So it's actually a bit surprising that the link was installed on my test system. > if you run a dpkg-reconfigure kdm to change the default DM and > choose gdm3/slim the /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service > link is updated automatically? Yes, this is actually the basic idea. > And if you re-choose KDM as default > /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service point again to > kdm.service ? It actually depends on which package you reconfigure. So, if you run "dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" (provided that lightdm is installed) and choose "kdm as your default DM, it should work. However, if you do that with "dpkg-reconfigure kdm" and choose "kdm" or any other DM for that matter, it shouldn't work. > >PS: Next time you share such a qemu image, please don't set the > > locale and the keyboard layout to Italian.

I will dig a bit more into the source code of the kdm Debian package and see if I can provide an updated version which should finally provide 100% compatibility. However, just to be sure I'm asking again: When you do a fresh installation and don't use a service file for kdm, kdm works and "systemctl status kdm.service" shows that it's running however you get the warning in the journal about the display-manager service, right?
