Installed Kalpa with the Plasma Bigscreen.
I would like to auto login in to Bigscreen. I can create the the Auto Login file:
[Autologin]
User=USER
Session=plasma-bigscreen-wayland.desktop
Relogin=true
but this has no effect for auto login. once i login I get bigscreen.
I also tried standard plasma login with SDDM. it also does not work either.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
thank you
soooo, I found that I can change it in KDE, not vi cli and it works. who would have thought that?
KDE System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Login Screen (SDDM) - advanced tab
I know it was there I always try to do CLI, I guess Kalpa wants you to do the work from GUI?
Yes, in general, it is preferred that you use the provided tools in Plasma to do these things.
Doesn’t mean you can’t do it by hand crafting configuration files, but it shouldn’t be the first option.
Hey Shawn, thanks! Kalpa is a wonderful desktop. I actually just published a video showing how to turn a Kalpa installation into a Plasma Bigscreen setup. It’s been a great platform to work with!
I hope that this can help others create the same Bigscreen setup that I have with Kalpa and Plasma BigScreen. If it is OK, I have added a link here: https://youtu.be/yq1LzCiV4Qc (remove it if is not)
Let me know if you need some testers. I have a few spare PC’s that are Nvidea based. I actually just noticed your 2025 Conference video on Kalpa.
Thank you!
Can I ask why the post was flagged?
I flagged that because it did not belong in this thread. The mods then decided to hide it.
