Description Richard Cave 2024-03-13 10:23:15 UTC

I am unable, despite many attempts to change the default login page. I've tried using existing ones (prior to the release on the 07/03/2024) and also downloaded new ones, but nothing changes. 

I am able to change both Splash and Boot screens but not the login screen and the default one with the virtual keyboard is just awful.

Additional Information:

When you try to change the login screen through System Settings both /etc/ssdm.conf.d  & /etc/ssdm.conf receive the date/time stamp of when applied through System Settings. When trying to view or navigate to either of the two as ROOT I am told they do not exist. Privs look okay and the owner of both is Root. 

Not sure if the above helps. Prior to the Plasma release on the 07/03 login screen could be changed. It makes no difference whether X11 or Wayland - the result above is still the same.

Comment 2 Carlos De Maine 2025-09-21 04:19:17 UTC

Thank you for your bug report! 
However this bug report was created/provided previous to 01/06/2024 and also
has not received any updates since  before 01/01/2025. 
Unfortunately KDE neon no longer provides updates for anything older than noble
24.04 based edition's.
Please upgrade to KDE neon noble and if you can reproduce the issue after
upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
Thanks for understanding!
