I'm running Kubuntu 16.04 AMD64 and am running into an interesting situation when I install Kodi. Upon installation, the Auto Login session changes from "Plasma" to "Kodi." It's easy enough to change it back but I assume this shouldn't be the case. This change can lead the operating system to hang on the next startup. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Activate Auto Login 2. sudo apt-get install kodi 3. Check Auto Login details under System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Login Screen > Advanced Actual Results: Autologin Session switched from "Plasma" to "Kodi" Expected Results: I would have expected the installation of Kodi not to alter the auto login session.
Some additional system information: KDE Plasma Version: 5.5.5 QT Version: 5.5.1 Kernal Version 4.4.0-21-generic
This would be a bug in Kodi itself or more likely, its Ubuntu packaging. It definitely shouldn't change the default session with no user input when installed.
I doubt it's changing the Session in the SDDM config. What probably happened is: - you had an SDDM config with no session set (if you edited it manually for example..or maybe some installer does that?) - you then opened settings, if you don't have a session selected, our combo box will just have the first entry selected. - hitting save will update the SDDM config. Maybe I should put a blank entry in the combo box.
