SDDM failure recovery does not work #833

Closed LukeShortCloud closed 2 months ago

We recently switched from LightDM to SDDM. With that change, the automatic recovery of the display manager no longer works. This is because when SDDM fails, the service does not stop.

Steps to reproduce:

Boot the winesapOS 4.1.0-beta.0 image
Remove Mesa: sudo pacman -R -n -s -d -d mesa
Reboot and notice you are stuck on a black screen

@xtasy-games Is this bug important for you? If not, I can get make a winesapOS 4.1.0-beta.1 release this weekend. If it is important, I can fix this bug and then get the new build out next weekend.

This is basically for if there are graphics driver issues, you will automatically be sent to a TTY console with troubleshooting hints. Without this fixed, you will normally just see a black screen if the graphics driver fails.
