https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1828 My plasma 6 use font dpi fixed to 192, or I say, screen enlarge to 200%, but when I synchronize it to sddm, it says: Warning from helper: Could not copy "/home/firestar/.config/fontconfig/." to "/var/lib/sddm/.config/fontconfig/." Warning from helper: Could not copy "/home/firestar/.config/fontconfig/.." to "/var/lib/sddm/.config/fontconfig/.." Synchronization successful and the font of sddm is still too small (dpi=96) Also, the cursor settings failed to synchronize Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.245.0 Qt Version: 6.6.0 Kernel Version: 6.6.1-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11
When it tried to copy, did it ask you for your password? Or did it just immediately fail in the way you've indicated?

Thanks for the info.
I have the same issue on kde neon user edition: systemsettings[8146]: Warning from helper: Could not copy "/home/some_user/.config/fontconfig/." to "/var/lib/sddm/.config/fontconfig/." systemsettings[8146]: Warning from helper: Could not copy "/home/some_user/.config/fontconfig/.." to "/var/lib/sddm/.config/fontconfig/.." systemsettings[8146]: Warning from helper: Could not copy "/home/some_user/.local/share/kscreen/02d3a15e281a9927f2406f6da96fa4a9" to "/var/lib/sddm/.local/share/kscreen//02d3a15e281a9927f2406f6da96fa4a9" System info: Operating System: KDE neon 6.0 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Kernel Version: 6.5.0-21-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland
Also, manually copying ~/.config/fontconfig to /var/lib/sddm/.config/fontconfig has no effect.
