Fedora 32 : Repair the starting LightDM display manager.

LightDM is a cross-desktop display manager with these features:
  • Cross-desktop - supports different desktop technologies.
  • Supports different display technologies (X, Mir, Wayland ...).
  • Lightweight - low memory usage and high performance.
  • Supports guest sessions.
  • Supports remote login (incoming - XDMCP, VNC, outgoing - XDMCP, pluggable).
  • Comprehensive test suite. 
  • Low code complexity.
To start it you need to use these commands:
[mythcat@desk ~]$ sudo systemctl get-default
[sudo] password for mythcat: 
multi-user.target
[mythcat@desk ~]$ sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
Removed /etc/systemd/system/default.target.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target → /usr/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target.
Restart your Fedora distro and use it.
