What's the output of running "ls /usr/share/sddm/themes" and "ls .local/share/sddm/themes"?
(In reply to Nicolas Fella from comment #1) > What's the output of running "ls /usr/share/sddm/themes" and "ls > .local/share/sddm/themes"? seems normal here.. bruno@arc:~$ ls -lha /usr/share/sddm/themes total 16K drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4,0K ožu 4 22:11 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4,0K ožu 4 22:11 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4,0K ožu 5 18:59 breeze lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 ožu 4 22:11 debian-theme -> /etc/alternatives/sddm-debian-theme drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4,0K ožu 4 22:11 maya the other directory under .local doesn't exist on the system.
/etc/alternatives/sddm-debian-theme this links back to maya
So is this a Debian packaging bug, or a display bug in the KCM because we don't handle that properly?
I think the kcm never expects there to be duplicated themes because because sddm only looks into one directory (according to man page) for themes. I wouldn't expect a sym-link to account for as themes either. Let's say it's a kcm bug
if we want to go this route, QDir::NoSymlinks can be added to https://invent.kde.org/plasma/sddm-kcm/-/blob/master/src/themesmodel.cpp?ref_type=heads#L146 if that sounds OK, i can open a MR?
(the (probably better?) alternative is to resolve all symlink paths and remove duplicate paths from the list)
Sounds great, go ahead!
