[arch-general] Automatic login
Hello, How to enable automatic login in arch (using sddm and KDE) . I tried enabling it in /etc/sddm.conf but it didn't work. Also I saw something like getty but I didn't understand what it does or how to make it work. In all other linux there is an option called "user" in settings but that is absent in Arch. Thanks in advance. Nirjhor

Hi. I have an automatic login option in KDEs "System Settings" -> "Startup and Shutdown"-> "Login Screen (SDDM)" -> "Advanced" -> "[ ] Auto Login". Maybe that is what you are looking for. I do not know anything about the config files since I do not use automatic login. Greetings Tim

The package extra/sddm-kcm is needed for that. Georg

I did it . Steps : 1. Edit /etc/sddm.conf and added user and session under autologin 2. sudo systemctl --force enable sddm 3. cat /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service to see if everything works 4. sudo reboot :-) Nirjhor
If you're going to use automatic login, why not cut out the middle man and ditch the display manager entirely?
