	update-alternatives --config default-displaymanager

both reports what is installed, and provides opportunity to switch. I suggested as
a troubleshooting step. In same manner, you can switch back at any time.

There are 3 choices for the alternative default-displaymanager (providing /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/default
-displaymanager).

Selection    Path                                  Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/sddm      25        auto mode
1            /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/console   5         manual mode
2            /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/sddm      25        manual mode
3            /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/xdm       10        manual mode

Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:

I picked 3.
