this:

Code:
You cannot run sddm as root. It has to run as user "sddm".
Set sddm in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and start it with "init 5" or "systemctl start xdm"
could help me ???

Hello, I had the same issue a minutes ago and found this: blog.libero.it/Laoblog2/13228972.html It may be a bit late for you but I hope this could help other "root fanatics".
