Presumably as a safety feature, /etc/pam.d/kde-np contains uid >= 1000. Remove that part of the line and try it again.
THANKS AGAIN!!
removing the uid is working.
only as a investigation , i test regular user and get the same , ... i can run autologin only removing the uid ... but im not sugeesting remove from stock , probably is here for some good reason.
The linux kernel 5.4.42 is in "stable-review" , that release have several patches for gcc-10 , probably thats the signal to merge ggc-10 to stock from testing.
I can't believe people still use their desktop as root...
(Sorry, couldn't resist :P)
Yes, I love to use my desktop as root from my USB hard drive, from where I do things like repartitioning hard drives from my boxes - some times, but usually repairing the broken boot from those named boxes.
Honestly, also I really love the kernel packages style of management (specially the upgrades) from Slackware, because it bite my hands almost weekly, forgetting to update the bootloaders.
That's WHY I have two USB hard drives, both with fully functional installations on them and kept up to date. One even have also Plasma5.
And I really do not care if someone manage to hijack my live system, because I have nothing important on it, which I cannot grab entirely from Internet in matters of hours.
So, please do not push in anyone mouth your security worries and guidelines...
Even the security should be taken with a bit of salt, to not become paranoia.

This is bogus reasoning. Even live distros can run as a regular user instead of root, look at my Slackware Live Edition.
Yep , but as i say , i test as regular user and not working here , only when remove uid , then run as a regular and as root.
Normaly , live distros runs as root , because its supposed are in a secured enviroment , *no production machine , but yes ..you can run as regular/root user , but i cant choose , if i dont know what PAM , change on this case.
