Hi all, I am currently installing arch for the first time on a lenovo thinkpad. I got everything installed and set up off of the usb, grub is good to go, I'm hooked up to an ethernet cable and he a connection, etc, currently using a user with sudo privileges.
I'm trying to get a KDE plasma desktop set up to run, and this is what I've done to do that:
sudo pacman -S plasma sddmsudo pacman -S konsole kate firefoxsudo systemctl enable sddmThe problem is on the last step, where it returns:
"The unit files he no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=,. . .for template units). This means they are not meant to be enabled or disabled using systemctl.. . ."(let me know if you want the full text of the output, I just tried to include the highlights)
"sudo systemctl enable sddm.service" gives the same output. From what I could tell looking at the sddm page of the wiki, it appears that the file "/usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/default.conf" should he the default configuration in it, and it doesn't really require any setting up; it's already ready to go. Inspecting the file with nano, it has plenty of stuff in it and none of it looks too unexpected. under [General], the variables GreeterEnvironment, InputMethod, and Namespaces are all unasigned (e.g. "GreeterEnvironment=") which strikes me as odd, but that's about it. There are similar unassigned values under [Theme] and [Users].
The command sddm --example-config prints a bunch of stuff to the terminal, but sudo sddm --example-config > /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/default.confreturns "-bash /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/default.conf: Permission denied."
I'm not really sure where to go from here. I wasn't able to find anything on the arch or KDE subreddits or the Debian wiki either, and I would really like to he my laptop up and running again within the next couple of days so I don't he to do all of my work on this rpi5. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
