          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 58955
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: After the current display manager .service file is
                    removed, the DM cannot be changed.
        QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: minor
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: kwpolska at gmail.com
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: general
           Product: systemd

If the .service file for the current display manager is removed, the DM cannot
be changed cleanly.

[root at kwpolska-lin system]# systemctl enable lxdm.service
Failed to issue method call: File exists
[root at kwpolska-lin system]# systemctl disable kdm.service
Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory

The only fix is to manually remove /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service
and link it to the new DM, or temporarily rename a DM .service file to the one
that got removed.

(I found out about the bug after getting rid of Plymouth, using
kdm-plymouth.service instead of kdm.service.  Plymouth sucks under Arch Linux.)
