5. enable auto-login, choose a user and a session

Comment 1 Nate Graham 2022-02-22 03:13:16 UTC 
Did the wallpaper path in the config file change when you enabled auto-login?

If not, this seems like it's more likely to be a bug in SDDM itself.
Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2022-02-22 13:41:13 UTC 
what is the config file? I don not see any reference to wallpaper path in the following config files:
/usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/00neon-reuse.conf
/usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/00neon-theme.conf
/etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf
Comment 3 Patrick Silva 2022-02-22 13:57:24 UTC 
The value of 'background' does not change in /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/theme.conf.user
when I enable auto-login.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2022-02-22 17:59:38 UTC 
Was there a wallpaper entry in /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf before you enabled auto-login?
Comment 5 Riccardo Robecchi 2022-02-22 21:56:57 UTC 
I can confirm the bug. On my desktops, where autologin is enabled, the wallpaper is reset to the default (and in my case, using the Chilli theme downloaded from KNS, that default is none for some reason...).

I've tried disabling auto-login and no wallpaper entry appears there.
