http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1092251 Bug ID: 1092251 Summary: sddm after logout from lxqt offer a different default desktop session Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.0 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: comes@naic.edu QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- If, with sddm, I login on lxqt, upon logout the default session for the next login is not the one I just logout from (lxqt) but another one. (To be more precise, it is the first non symbolic link available in /usr/share/xsessions) The issue seems due to the fact that the file /usr/share/xsessions/lxqt.desktop is not a true file but a symbolic link. If I replace the symbolic link with a regular file, then sddm offers me lxqt as desktop session for the next login. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I can understand that it doesn't allow kde-plasma because it is a duplicate of plasma5. However it should allow the default one, but it doesn't. This is also a bug IMHO. But back to my original bug. When I select lxqt (it is a link but sddm correctly offers such target), and I login, the problem arise after I logout from lxqt. Instead of selecting, for the next login, automatically the target I just used (lxqt) it doesn't (because it is a link) and instead it select the one that is the first non link in /usr/share/xsessions (icewm-session in this case). So every time I need to login in lxqt I have to manually select the lxqt desktop. If I do: rm /usr/share/xsessions/lxqt.desktop cp /usr/share/kdm/sessions/lxqt.desktop /usr/share/xsessions now I login in lxqt and after logout the session automatically selected for the next login is lxqt. To resume: 1) It is not possible to choose the default session 2) After logout, the session automatically selected for the next login is not the one just used if such session was a link in /usr/share/xsessions -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Mar 24 01:53 lxqt.desktop -> ../kdm/sessions/lxqt.desktop

That's the issue, the link has to be in the other direction or replaced with a hardlink. I submitted a proposed fix with sr 605477. Reassinging to lxqt bugowner. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1092251 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1092251#c5 --- Comment #5 from Neil Rickert --- I've just been testing this. I can confirm it (sort of). I can confirm that it behaves as described. But I don't know if that is a bug or a feature. In any case, I'll mark it as CONFIRMED. In my case, I logged into LXQT. On exit, the SDDM screen showed Gnome X11 as the default for the next login (instead of LXQT). As for the path, I am seeing: lxqt.desktop -> ../kdm/sessions/lxqt.desktop which seems odd, as "kdm" is not even installed here.

...

sddm allow to choose all of them except default and kde-plasma

I'm thinking that's a misunderstanding. On my system, default.desktop is actually a symlink to plasma5.desktop (via "/etc/alternatives"). As I understand it, SDDM gets its menu entries from what is inside those ".desktop" files, rather than from their names. So "plasma5.desktop", "kde-plasma.desktop" and "default.desktop" should all show up as "Plasma" in the menu. Presumably, SDDM is removing duplicates. Personal opinion: If you are mainly using LXQT, then you would be better off switching to either "lightdm" or "gdm" as displaymanager (i.e. for login screen). I normally use "gdm", and I tested that before switching to SDDM. I'll note that "gdm" does behave as the bug reporter wants. If I log into "lxqt" and then logout, the default for my next login is "lxqt". That's with using "gdm". I didn't test "lightdm", but I'm pretty sure it would behave the same way. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I remember I had it in 42.3. After I checked I found that you can have the User/System Default entry if you install xdm-xsession. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Personal opinion: If you are mainly using LXQT, then you would be better off switching to either "lightdm" or "gdm" as displaymanager (i.e. for login screen).

I know I can use another DM. However I wanted to report the bug. Again there are two issue here: 1) lxqt putting lxqt.sesktop in an unusual place (in 42.3 it did not happen) and using a link 2) sddm FEATURE with symbolik link. (gdm, lightdm and kdm work just fine with the lxqt link).

...

I normally use "gdm", and I tested that before switching to SDDM. I'll note that "gdm" does behave as the bug reporter wants. If I log into "lxqt" and then logout, the default for my next login is "lxqt". That's with using "gdm". I didn't test "lightdm", but I'm pretty sure it would behave the same way.

For the matter of display manager, the best one is still kdm. Although it is not actively supported anymore it is the one that has never failed me. For example because of bug 1021774/969813 I'm still forced to use kdm. The only alternative would be gdm, but it doesn't have a opensuse theme/look. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yes, that is a fairly bad issue (sddm has only minimal PAM support for password auth), but work is in progress upstream to improve it. It's one of the reasons why we didn't drop kdm despite it being unmaintained. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

The rpm for leap 15.0 id build against Qt_5.10 and have dependency issue (my leap 15.0 installation has Qt_5.9).

Indeed - it builds against KDE:Frameworks5 which in turn builds against KDE:Qt5. Should be fixed after a rebuild.

...

Anyway, I grabbed the src.rpm, rebuild it and tested. The fix works.

Ok, thanks for confirmation. I'll submit it tomorrow if no regressions get discovered. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
