No login screen after update for VMWare Fusion fedora 33 VM

[Barry Scott]

I updated my VM and I no logged have a login screen.

The only thing I have spotted at the moment is a problem with sddm-helper.

Any one else seeing this?

I attempted to roll back the transaction but dnf history
rollback did nothing and did not report an error either.

I did try rolling back parts of the update to did not manage
to find what might have been the cause.
