Not trying to be picky, but if that is the real problem it probably will just be easier to run the following command to change the default target:


sudo systemctl set-default default.target

Hi, Terry,

What does ls -al /etc/systemd/system/default.target shows ?

Is it a soft link to  /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target ? or does it
point to /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target?

If it is the second one, then try to remove it and create a link to
graphical.target, thus:
rm /etc/systemd/system/default.target
ln -s /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target

And try to see after reboot it automatically starts KDE as usual..

It could be that what happened to you is some bug in the upgrade
process under some specific setup.

Good luck!

Regards,
Rami Rosen
