Bug ID: 485769
Summary: Autologin settings for SSD not read from
kde_settings.conf correctly
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 6.0.4
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_sddm

State of SDDM screen once existing settings have been manually filled in (Apply
now greyed out)
SUMMARY
The "Login Screen (SSDM)" settings for autologin don't seem to be read into the
UI correctly.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to "Login Screen (SSDM)" and select "Behavior"
2. Configure "Automatically log in" by ticking the box "as user" and selecting
a user. Choose either session (I used Wayland).
3. Apply
4. Go back to SSDM theme settings. The "Apply" button appears to show there are
changes to apply.
5. Check /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf - they should contain the correct
values in the [Autologin] section now
6. Go to "Behavior" again. The "Automatically log in" settings are disabled
again. The Apply button is still showing there's changes to apply.
7. Manually restore the exact settings as before: The Apply button is now
greyed out. It has recognised these are the settings already in the file.
8. Move back to themes and select "Apply". The kde_settings.conf has removed
the autologin configuration.
OBSERVED RESULT
Settings UI does not correctly load autologin settings from kde_settings.conf.
Upon changing the values, it realises those are already set. When changing any
other settings, it will rewrite the file, but without the correct autologin
configuration. If autologin is configured in the settings file and no further
settings are applied then autologin works.
EXPECTED RESULT
The settings UI correctly reads and displays the autologin settings when
opening the UI.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I am also having issues changing the background image, but I haven't dug into
that yet and I'm not sure if they are related.
