With Plasma 5, use SDDM. lightdm is also a possible option. It is my understanding that KDM will be retired from service.
To be precise, KDM has been unmaintained for years. Upstream has removed it from the workspace in favor of SDDM.
Keep in mind, though, that the 4.x based KDM still works perfectly fine (so you can still use it if you want).
Note that for me, *only* KDM works "perfectly fine". The "S" in SDDM is derived from the word "simple", and simple SDDM is. SDDM lacks the feature richness of KDM. Last I checked, SDDM still lacked any option to specify particular users to be listed in its greeter. That alone makes it useless to me even if I ignore the other KDM options it lacks.
Well.. KDM has been put to death.. you need to adapt to the newer options somewhat..Trying to convice SDDM developers to add the most critical things you miss about KDM is an option, I say that because it is unlikely that you will get all "missing" functionality back. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
