At first I run the command to see my layers:

$bitbake-layers show-layers
layer                 path                                  priority
meta                  .../poky-krogoth-15.0.0/meta             5
meta-poky             .../poky-krogoth-15.0.0/meta-poky        5
meta-yocto-bsp        .../poky-krogoth-15.0.0/meta-yocto-bsp   5
meta-oe               .../meta-openembedded/meta-oe            6

and build my image:

bitbake core-image-sato

everything is OK,I found the meta-oe layer is useless. So I delete it:

bitbake-layers remove-layer .../meta-openembedded/meta-oe

and build it again:

$bitbake core-image-sato

it show error:

Why it said that no package provides xserver-nodm-init?

$find ../meta -name xserver-nodm-init*
../meta/recipes-graphics/x11-common/xserver-nodm-init.bb
../meta/recipes-graphics/x11-common/xserver-nodm-init

First of all. Why do you think meta-oe is useless?

And why do you want to delete it? It does no harm?

The general rule is. If it does not break, Do not fix it. Like you said. Put everything back and it will work.

Because of the way meta-oe currently replaces some of the X11 startup components, you pretty much need to delete TMPDIR if you've build X11 with meta-oe in your bblayers.conf and then decide you want to remove meta-oe (as you have done). However, if you now just delete TMPDIR but not your sstate-cache and then try again then it'll restore everything back to where you were from sstate pretty quickly without needing to recompile everything, and the issue should be resolved.

What meta-oe is doing isn't desirable, there is a bug open to fix it:

https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5546

It's assigned to me and I'm sad to say I haven't had time to resolve it so far; it doesn't appear to be a priority for anyone else either.
