SDDM needs major work honestly. Easily the worst part of KDE. So glad I switched to greetd instead.
@jaxiiruff
Can you give me a guide on how to switch to greetd or lightdm ?I use nixos so im not sure I’d be able to help you, I recommend using the arch wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Greetd for getting an idea of how to get started even if you dont use arch. I personally use tuigreet as its pretty minimal configuration and nice looking.
@jaxiiruff
thanks!
Has this been reported? If not, please report it:
If it has, maybe bump it with your video? It is clear indicator as to what is wrong.
Thanks you for your cooperation!
I have one better. Regardless of which port and which monitor, physically, logically, sddm always inverts the position of my dual monitors versus everything else.
Fedora 40 KDE, Wayland
That’s just a law of computers, the default arrangement of monitors must always be wrong.
You can just sync your Plasma settings to SDDM though, and it’ll use the same output settings as your session
How? Nothing I’ve tried makes it work.
Just click the button in the sddm settings page
Ugh, no offence to someone who worked on it but sddm is such a failure of display manager. It was only introduced around 10 years ago replacing kdm. It was meant to be simple (duh, thus the name). It has all sorts of issues and is constantly being fixed, just for something super basic like login screen
@kde
It even persists after the login!
Doesn’t get fixed until I re-align my displays in xrandrHa, I had basically the same bug (functionally) in GNOME a few months back. Moving the mouse off the screen scrolled it around.
The top left was anchored at least so it was easy to reset.
