Reached graphical.target, but still have to type startx to start gui

I use __Manjaro Linux__ and after an update, when I boot, journalctl says the system reached graphical target, but it starts up in tty1 and I need to type startx to start the **KDE**. Then I type my password again in a kdewallet popup, to connect to wifi. After that, everything works fine. In __Manjaro__, the gui starts in tty1, while in other distros, it usually starts in tty7. I tried setting the default to graphical.target with the systemctl command, and by editing grub menu by replacing the quit parameter by systemd.unit=graphical.target, but it still starts up in the tty1 session. I also tried adding a custom entry in the grub menu, but that does not help either. To add this to the grub menu: - copy the first grub menu entry from /boot/grub/grub.cfg into the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom - replace the quit command by systemd.unit=graphical.target - change the menuentry title and run sudo update-grub Any ideas on how to get the system to start normal again. I posed the question in the __Manjaro__ forum a week ago, but there is no reply. I suppose it will be faster to just re-install, but I am curious why this happens, and how to correct it. --- Thanks for the tips. I found that ssdm is installed but not active, it is masked. When I try to re-install it, I get this error: sudo pacman -S sddm warning: sddm-0.19.0-2.2 is up to date -- reinstalling ... error: sddm: signature from "Philip Müller (Called Little)" is invalid :: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/sddm-0.19.0-2.2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)). Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)) Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. [marc@ass ~]$ systemctl enable sddm.service Failed to enable unit: Unit file /usr/lib/systemd/system/sddm.service is masked. When I look for /usr/lib/systemd/system/sddm.service, I see that it is empty. Am I correct that there is some kind of packaging error, and that due to the corrupted package, the system blocked it from starting ? If the package is corrupt, should not more people have this problem ? Should I wait some time for the package to get repaired, or should I uninstall it and install another greeter like lightdm ?
