Why did you copy the extra kdm.service file into the systemd directory? This file isn't actually necessary as the systemd generator for the display-manager unit takes care of that. It creates a unit file on-the-fly and puts it into /run/systemd/generator/kdm.service.d. > I have rebooted the system and the result is the same as on my real > machines. kdm it's not executed. > If I delete kdm.service file at the next reboot kdm works as expected. It works for me. I did an absolute clean installation with the netinst image (beta2). I chose KDE during the desktop installation dialog and got a working KDE with KDM setup right away, no additional work necessary. There is something that you are fundamentally doing wrong. I assume you do a minimal installation without using tasksel during the installation and then install the packages manually instead of using meta packages and apparently some essential package is missing? > I have run it with this command > qemu-system-i386 -m 512 -enable-kvm -cpu athlon -hda HDD4GB.qcow2 Thanks, I will look into it when I find the time. Here is a summary how I installed Debian Jessie and got a working system: 1. Download Debian Jessie Netinst Beta 2 ISO (amd64) 2. Create a new VMWare Virtual Machine and mount the Netinst ISO 3. Install everything with the defaults 4. At the tasksel selection screen, select "Desktop->KDE" plus "SSH server" and "base system" 5. Finish installation and reboot 6. Upon reboot, my system boots right into KDM; no strings attached So, the only difference I see is that you are using i386 (as opposed to amd64 here) and you apparently don't use tasksel.
