Summary: Auto Login Doesn't Work
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasma-login-manager
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
Hey, I recently saw this packaged in the kde unstable repo on arch and decided
to test it out. I know it isn't considered ready for production, but still
wanted to give it a go. So far everything works fine. It shows up and I can
login. Which is kinda all you need.
However, I have noticed that autologin does not appear to work. I have copied
the section from the sddm file to /etc/plasmalogin.conf as mentioned in the
readme. I also tried using the kcm for plasma login manager that it is included
in the package. It creates the file /etc/plasma-login.conf. However, that
doesn't appear to work either.
Something else strange that I noticed is that the old sddm file for autologin
used my username for example "kcarrot2" where as plasma login uses my "display
name"? Which in this case is my actual name.
Just wanted to know if this is a known issue, a problem with the arch package,
or just me being stupid? Maybe all of the above. Maybe "sddm" needs to be
completely uninstalled because of some kind of conflict? If none of the above
then I believe I have found a bug.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open system settings.
2. Go to "Login Screen".
3. Now choose which user automatically login as user.
OBSERVED RESULT
The login screen shows as always.
EXPECTED RESULT
My user should automatically be logged in.
