So then tried run sddm which failed finding it so did a sudo sddm
and while running found that any created files are owned by root -
so not good.

Not sure what caused the problem, but most likely there are now root
owned files in /home.

If the mistake has already been made, it can be fixed with:
$ su -
Password:
# chown -Rc tester:tester /home/tester
How do I recover/reset, etc, the primary system to use the KDE Gui ?
Vincent
As root (su - ; then root password) run mcc in a terminal window.
Find the section on booting the system. It offers choices to select
the gui and choose to have it start up the gui on boot.
I boot into a terminal and then (as myself, a user) run gnome to
start the gnome desktop. Elaborations beyond that are beyond me.
