Missing Component in KDE System Settings

[Stephen Morris]

Can anyone tell me what has happened to the KDE System Settings addin 
that allows customization of the Display Manager login interface in F23? 
I'm looking for the interface that lets you specify the theme to use if 
you want one, and lets you control which users are display on the login 
screen.

regards,

Steve

Happens that isn't available anymore. I don't know if they plan to add this
feature in the future or not.



Cheers,
Sylvia

Note that there is a list specifically for KDE on Fedora, see https://l

I am assuming your using SDDM as the login manager, if so to change themes and 
some other "basic" options via System Settings you need to have sddm-kcm 
installed. It would then be available via the Startup and Shutdown option.

For modifying the Users shown etc you could edit /etc/sddm.conf, I think there 
is a man page for this.

Do you have sddm-kcm package installed?  (if not, get it)

I already had the sddm-kcm package installed, but  I wasn't actually 
using sddm as the Display Manager I was using Fedora's default of gdm. 
I've now switched to sddm but the switch caused problems.
To switch to sddm I first disabled gdm through systemd, but that shut 
down my Plasma desktop and I had to power off my PC and power it back on 
again to get it back.
Now that I have switched to sddm I have found an sddm login interface in 
System Settings but it doesn't work, it doesn't display anything. As 
this is a standard part of Plasma 5 I don't understand why it doesn't 
work or alternatively why Fedora have removed it. The same also applies 
to sddm-config-editor which I believe is also a standard part of Plasma 
5 but it doesn't appear to be in the Fedora repositories.
How do we know what themes are installed for gddm as from my perspective 
the default theme is horrendous, in that if there are more than 2 users 
to display, it only show 2 at a time and focuses on the last user to login.

Steve

sddm is default on the fedora kde spin.

Sorry, it's worked every time I've used it.  Please file bugs.
