Description Piotr Mierzwinski 2019-12-19 19:06:49 UTC

SUMMARY
Recently I have changed theme for SDDM, before I installed couple of them. Today I checked "Startup and Shutdown -> Login Screen (SDDM)" and can see that is highlighted old one, which in the same time is fist on the list/icon view. Because of that I'm not sure if the issue is that, always is highlighted first one or old one.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install one theme, set it
2. logoff, to check if theme is working
3. login, and install couple next themes
4. set some newly installed
5. logoff, to check if theme is working
6. login
7. open "Startup and Shutdown -> Login Screen (SDDM)" to check which one is highlighted

OBSERVED RESULT
there is highlighted first on view, which is not currently used

EXPECTED RESULT
should highlighted this one what is currently used

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 Piotr Mierzwinski 2019-12-19 21:39:11 UTC

Above happened after I set autologin. When I back to not autologin then again I had highlighted incorrect theme.

I set again different theme and pressed Apply. 
Closed "System Settings" window. 
Opened again "System Settings -> Workspace -> Startup and Shutdown -> Login Screen (SDDM)".
And in result I had again highlighted first icon (not this I set before).
In config file (/etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf) settings are correct.

Second issue is that even I had set autologin in configuration page, it wasn't reflected (option wasn't checked).

You're probably using Kubuntu or KDE Neon, which set the wrong file permissions on the kde_settings.conf file so the kcm can't actually read them.

That's why you don't see the right theme selected or the autologin option checked.

I'm former user of Antergos, currently using only Arch Linux packages.

I'm not sure in which directory should be present file "kde_settings.conf".
I tried to find it in following (recursively):
/usr  ~/.config  ~/.local

like this:
~/ ▶ cd ~/.config
~/.config ▶ find . -type f -name kde_settings.conf
~/.config ▶ cd ~/.local/
~/.local ▶ find . -type f -name kde_settings.conf
~ .local ▶

I suppose I don't have it, at all.

And minor update of my conf.
