SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Choose a SDDM theme in Systemsettings > Colors & Design > SDDM login screen
2. Apply it and reboot
3. Reaching the Login screen no SDDM theme is displayed, only the default KDE
screen
OBSERVED RESULT
No chosen SDDM theme in Login screen. Some error messages appear in the right
lower screen. These are:
' file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/MacVentura-Dark/Main.qml:119:9: Type
WallpaperFader unavailable'
'
file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/MacVentura-Dark/components/WallpaperFader.qml:13:1:
module "org.kde.plasma.private.sessions" is not installed
Note: It affects not only MacVentura-Dark, but nearly all SDDM themes.
MacVentura-Dark is only an example to show.
EXPECTED RESULT
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Plasma 6
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This bug (or not) is present in Plasma 6 since the first release of Plasma 6 in
February 2024. At the beginning only a few sddm themes could be displayed as
login background. I've tried all possible. An "org.kde.plasma.private.sessions"
as well as other packages found under "import" in WallpaperFader.qml cannot be
found in the Manjaro Repos or Arch Repos. I installed similar packages, but
that didn't help either. Kdeplasma-addons or sddm-kcm are installed in Manjaro.
What I detected in "WallpaperFader.qml" is, that the packages under "import"
could be Plasma 5 packages and that these packages have not been ported to
Plasma 6 yet. Perhaps that is the cause of the issue.
