Hm. It (still) works fine here, but I'm running 13.2 with sddm from KDE:Frameworks5 (the devel repo for Factory/Tumbleweed).
But the plymouthd instance present in earlier trials on other machines was not there :).
Then plymouth probably is not the reason, at least not directly. Does disabling plymouth fix it? (plymouth.enable=0 on the kernel command line)
Or maybe try to switch to a different theme. Try to set e.g. "Current=elarun" in the "[Theme]" section in /etc/sddm.conf.
I did have similar problems with the "breeze" theme when not all components were found because I installed them to wrong directories in my packages.
I still feel too many "rough" edges to sddm for recommendation to "regular" users.
Well, it should work. There are no "rough edges" in my experience, except that in 13.2 the X session hangs on exit when gnome-keyring-pam is installed (this should be fixed with the gnome-keyring version in Tumbleweed though).
One problem I am aware of ATM is that a GNOME session does not start: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=931314 But sddm is only used as default for a KDE installation.
And again, it still lacks features compared to kdm. Most "regular" users probably won't even notice though I suppose. The regular users are generally quiet, its the others that shout the loudest when features are missing. Is there a list of "missing" features? the one i've heard of is not being able to easily select/deselect users to be displayed at logon.
Kind Regards, Wolfgang
