Is autologin expected to work in Kalpa? It works fine for me in Tumbleweed, but Kalpa just boots to the SDDM login prompt.
In System Settings, Login Screen (SDDM), Behavior, I have Automatically log in ticked, with my username, and “Plasma (Wayland)” as session (the only thing available in the drop-down). I have applied and rebooted.
It’s not something that’s been tested, or intended to work, no.
Thanks.
It seems that making changes in the KCM is correctly making changes in /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf as expected, e.g.:
[Autologin]
Relogin=false
Session=default.desktop
User=john
[General]
HaltCommand=
RebootCommand=
[Theme]
Current=breeze-openSUSE
[Users]
MaximumUid=60000
MinimumUid=1000
But sudo journalctl -b | grep sddm shows, among other things, Unable to find autologin session entry "default.desktop". Tumbleweed with same config says "Reading from "/usr/local/share/xsessions/default.desktop" and Reading from "/usr/share/xsessions/default.desktop".
Kalpa has no /usr/local/share/xsessions/ folder and /usr/share/xsessions/ is empty (no default.desktop entry, or any other entries). So this is probably the problem.
I’m not sure what manages the files in /usr/share/xsessions/.
Ah, of course, Kalpa uses Wayland so a lot of the last post about my X11 Tumbleweed config is irrelevant.
/usr/share/wayland-sessions/plasmawayland.desktop is the relevant file here and does exist in Kalpa. I’m not sure how default entries are handled though.
OK, so if I change /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf from session=default to session=plasmawayland, autologin works OK. Not sure why the KCM doesn’t write that.
