Title: sddm-theme-breeze login window: Buttons greyed out, Dynamic User?
Post by: samoht on 2018/07/07, 11:48:58

Two questions for the siduction community:

DE: KDE Plasma

1. On a current patience installation, all buttons (standby, reboot,...) in the login window, except "Switch user", are grayed out when the user has logged out .
On my home computer there is no such issue!

2 What does the "Dynamic User" mean?

Greetings,
Tom

Regarding the question
 What does the "Dynamic User" mean?:

This concept is discussed in Poettering's blog:
http://0pointer.net/blog/dynamic-users-with-systemd.html (http://0pointer.net/blog/dynamic-users-with-systemd.html)

Code: [Select]

"... systemd uses the UID range 61184-65519 for its dynamic user allocations ..."
The package sddm-theme-breeze (5.13.2-1) creates the file,

Code: [Select]

/etc/sddm.confwhich can be replaced by sddm_mod.conf, so that the "Dynamic User" no longer appears

Code: [Select]

# diff /etc/sddm.conf /etc/sddm_mod.conf
15c15
maximum uid=65000
---
MaximumUid=60000
See the man page

Code: [Select]

# man sddm.conf
...       
MaximumUid=
              Maximum user id of the users to be listed in the user interface.  Default value is 60000
