Problem with SDDM Display Manager: no bar in the bottom (taskbar?) and applications menu, nor desktop loaded after a second logout/login done

I have Ubuntu-Studio 23.04, KDE plasma 5.27.4 installed and SDDM as a display manager, the autologin is set and works. When I do a logout, by clicking on "Close session", the SDDM screen appears, and, if I insert the password, the system logins correctly; But if I re-click "close session" and re-insert my password, the system loads only the windows and not the bar at the bottom with the icons (taskbar?), and not even the applications menu, nor the desktop; Furthermore, if I do a third logout/login, the system loads correctly.

When I re-do the logout and login and the system doesn't loads the above things, the following message of error appears in "Settings", "start and shutdown", "background services": "The service manager in the background (Keded5) is not currently being executed and is not currently running . Make sure it is installed correctly. " I seem to remember, among the many research on the search engines I did (Duckduckgo first of all and then also Google), that in a discussion someone asked, to the user in difficulty, if he had deactivated the Swap partition; And I seem to remember (yes, I have a short memory, and I did the last Ubuntu setup in the Paleolithic) that I did not activate it because I read that having so much RAM (in my case 16 GB) it was a useless thing.

Update: I tried to select gdm3 and lightdm too: same issue and same error message: "The service manager in the background (Keded5) is not currently being executed and is not currently running . Make sure it is installed correctly."

How can I solve?

Thank You very much indeed for the help.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
