Re: SDDM Wayland

No, none of the '[Wayland]' entries you have are explicitly required. All that is needed to sddm as a Wayland client is [General] DisplayServer=wayland The rest can be left as default. In fact, I am briefly presented with a login screen, before being dropped to a login prompt on VT1. I am trying to understand this error Sep 17 11:14:22 linux-lptp1 sddm[999]: Auth: sddm-helper exited with 1 Sep 17 11:14:22 linux-lptp1 sddm[999]: Greeter stopped. SDDM::Auth::HELPER_AUTH_ERROR Similar to that described here https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1882 It may be that a later upstream sddm build has resolved this perhaps
