Can't change the background while using breeze theme, there is not problem while using any of the other themes on the repos (circles, elarun, maldives, maui). This is the version i have installed: sddm: Installed: 0.14.0+p16.04+git20161011.1715-0 sddm-theme-breeze: Installed: 4:5.8.1+p16.04+git20161012.0430-0 Reproducible: Always
I can confirm this on Arch running plasma 5.9 beta.
The regression was introduced with the https://phabricator.kde.org/D2983 . The KCM patch is missing. The Breeze SDDM theme is expecting 'type=color' or 'type=image' key in the /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/theme.conf.user Workaround: User can add the missing key to the theme.conf.user. Examples: - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1683640#p1683640 - https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=137502#p370239

Hope it gets properly fix soon.

Also if you use this workaround and decide to change the background again youmay need to edit theme.conf.user and change the old value of "background=" for the name of the new background otherwise you'll will get a whiteisshh overall sddm theme.
Git commit 19e83b28161783d570bde2ced692a8b5f2236693 by David Edmundson. Committed on 06/02/2017 at 12:12. Pushed by davidedmundson into branch 'Plasma/5.9'. Set wallpaper type in SDDM config Summary: aafa20f19c87 introduces a feature to the SDDM breeze theme where it will only show a wallpaper is a config value "type" is set to image. This isn't the default, making this KCM useless. This patch sets the wallpaper type when saving. FIXED-IN: 5.9.1 Reviewers: #plasma Subscribers: plasma-devel Tags: #plasma Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D4457 M +3 -1 src/themeconfig.cpp https://commits.kde.org/sddm-kcm/19e83b28161783d570bde2ced692a8b5f2236693
I've updated to 5.9.1 with sddm 0.14.0-r2 (on Gentoo) and theme.conf.user still doesn't get updated. I change the wallpaper, hit apply, then when I leave that kcm module it asks me to save my changed (odd since I hit apply and the button grays out afterwards). Whether I hit yes or no it fails to keep the change.
In Neon 5.9.1 if i set background image for sddm (through KCM) is has only white color as a background then. KCM is broken for a long time already (doesn't show selected image preview, wallpaper is not set properly - white color instead of image). Bug should be reopened IMO.
At here the https://cgit.kde.org/sddm-kcm.git/commit/?id=19e83b28161783d570bde2ced692a8b5f2236693 is fixing the background change problem. But it is making a new bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376484

My mistake, I was using elogind instead of consolekit and it broke some of my permissions (Gentoo issue), switching back to consolekit resulted in being able to change sddm settings as expected.
