Bug Description
I installed my 15.04 clean. I did install a ppa that updated KDE to 5.3 after recommendations from the #kubuntu channel for having major problems with my install..
Now, 9/10 times, when sddm starts, it hangs with a black screen. I drop to a user shell, type sudo systemctl restart sddm.service, and I see something like "Starting version 219",and then a black screen.. I repeat this between 1 and 20 times and yay, I have a login screen!
Sometimes sddm shows the login screen right after boot, but it appears to be random. It seems it hangs about 9/10 times when started

I have similar issues with sddm. Randomly it stops working and I end up to the sad black screen after logging in. So far I've managed to "fix" it by copying another working users .kde and .config directories, but that does not help anymore. Logging in as the other user works. /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ sddm/+bug/ 1431332
