Public bug reported:
I ticked autologin when installing Ubuntu Studio 21.04. Autologin did
not work. Trying to enable through Settings - System Settings - Startup
and Shutown - Login Screen(SDDM), Behaviour button, caused a DBUS error
message about SDDM Config.
The fix is simple. Remove all lines from /etc/sddm.conf file and reboot.
All functionality correct after that. It seems autologin configuration
is only through /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf
Additionally, removing all lines from /etc/sddm.conf file also
restored correct functionality to the above-mentioned System Settings
Startup and Shutdown section (Sddm Config Manager is then able to
successfully modify kde_settings.conf
