   definitely something wrong. After the last round of updates, it became even   
   more broken. I installed multiple desktops. I have installed 42.1 and 42.2   
   before, and I carefully choose options for what I need.   
   When I looked at /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager, the display manager was   
   blank. So I changed it to sddm (which is supposed to go with Plasma)   
   but still was broken. So second attempt, I changed it to gdm   
   Then I got a login screen with a gear icon, so I could select a desktop   
   and chose LXDE. Finally that works.
