hi! I'm not aware if the second problem you are describing is a missing feature in SDDM.
To my opion it would be best to report this directly within the upstream project: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues Just found an older bug-report [1] that may be related or not. [1] https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/273 (pam_ssh variables are not exported to session) It will assist to mention the external bug no. here for follow-up. ** Changed in: sddm (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to sddm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1566542 Title: Two sddm bugs with 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sddm/+bug/1566542/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
