Testing sddm (F21 Feature: SDDM as the default KDE display manager instead of KDM)

[Reartes Guillermo]

Hi,

I tried to test current sddm status, so i used these instructions:

fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SDDMinsteadOfKDM#How_To_Test

In section "How To Test" it says:

"Anybody able to run KDE Plasma Workspaces as his desktop can test."

So, is it safe to assume that one can test with a F20 host?

I tested with a F20 host, after enabling sddm i performed a reboot.
On the next boot, sddm appeared, but i am unable log in with any user.
It is like enter does nothing. I can login with those users on another
VT or via ssh, so the user/passwords are ok.

I tried setting SELinux to Permissive, but it did not help.

/usr/bin/sddm-greeter from write access on the sock_file .

                                          If you believe that
sddm-greeter should be allowed write access on the  sock_file by
default.
                                          Then you should report this as a bug.
                                          You can generate a local
policy module to allow this access.
                                          Do
                                          allow this access for now by
executing:
                                          # grep sddm-greeter
/var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
                                          # semodule -i mypol.pp

Is there a dedicated logfile? (like kdm.log)

Cheers.
