So here are the system logs generated by "journalctl -f" during a login attempt: https://andrej.podzimek.org/loginjournal.txt They capture (1) an unsuccessful authentication attempt where unix_chkpwd cannot be used by sddm-helper (!), then (2) a quick switch to a text console and back to sddm

systemctl status sddm Compared to the strace wrapper I tried, combined with a careful inspection of logs from journalctl, status doesn't say too much: Dec 19 21:41:25 prdell.localdomain systemd[1]: Started Simple Desktop Display Manager. [...] Dec 19 21:41:31 prdell.localdomain

I got a bit closer to the root cause of the problem: SDDM works and logs me in when I start it by simply running 'sddm' from a root shell. But it fails (with the symptoms described in this thread) when started using systemd. In what way can systemd be hurting sddm so that it can't log users in?

Users cannot log in using sddm on Fedora 23
