Package: sddm
Version: 0.14.0-4
Dear maintainer team,
I am running an up-to-date, plain-vanilla Debian 9 Stretch (i386) with a
read-only root filesystem.
During the boot process, an encrypted filesystem is mounted at /home.
Sddm is configured to automatically login.
However, this automatic login fails very often, because /home is very often not
yet available when sddm tries to log in.
See the excerpt from the log below.
I am using "Linux XXX 4.9.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.9.51-1 (2017-09-28) i686
GNU/Linux", the /home filesystem is listed in /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab.
My suggested behavior would be to wait for a limited amount of time before the
automatic login is executed / fails.
Thanks for all your efforts in advance.
Best regards,
Ralf

The setup that you are describing is too specific, and I don't think it would
be beneficial to modify the sddm to support it.
It seems that you need to tweak your systemd service files, for example,
adding a Before=display-manager.service to your home.mount unit, or some
similar solution.
I'm closing this report, as I don't think this needs to be supported by the
sddm provided by Debian directly.
Happy hacking,
