Anyone use sddm and actually get auto login to work?

Timothy Miller · 12-22-2014, 05:15 PM

So I've been trying out sddm since so many distro's seem to be moving to it, but for the life of me, I can't get auto login to work. Is there a trick to it, is it actually possible? I generated a full sddm.conf file, set autouser="myself" but it still sets at the login screen. Everything is fully updated, and I do have the kcm-sddm installed (or sddm-kcm, I can't think of which right now, and I'm not on Arch at the moment)

Thanks for any help.

I don't use SDDM myself, but I have seen a bug reported with this:
https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/236

...and someone did post a working config. Granted, this is for Fedora, but may work for you:
