kubuntu starts in command line mode !

[amgadelsaiegh]

i am using kubuntu 22.04
it made some updates, then it advised me to run auto-remove command, since i did that i kubuntu starts in command line interface, then after entering my user/pass i should type
startplasma-wayland or startx to switch to gui!!
how can i re adjust it to boot to gui as the default choice?

It is possible you are missing the sddm greeter or some of its dependencies. The easiest thing to try first would be:
sudo apt install sddm
and cross your fingers.
After it is installed make sure it is enabled:
sudo systemctl enable sddm
I would then just reboot and see if it automatically logs in using the greeter:
sudo reboot
Let us know what happens and we can address if further from there.

well, installing sddm did the trick although its appearance looks weird but it is working.
thanks for help.

You might need to change it to the breeze theme again. Go to System Settings> Login Screen (SDDM)> and change it to breeze and hit apply. You are free to try other themes as well.
