Launching Login Screen (LightDM) in KDE systemsettings always crashes systemsettings on my machine.

Can anybody reproduce this bug, or, better, give a hint for resolving?

I just tried and it's not crashing for me.  However, we do differ on the results for "dpkg -l *lightdm* | grep ii"

I don't have liblightdm-qt-3-0 or lightdm-kde-greeter.  Whether or not this is related to your problem, might be something worth looking into.

apt-get remove --purge lightdm-kde-greeter

Thank you, both, for quick and helpful replies. 
Next questions arise:
I have to avoid lightdm-kde-greeter in its present desolate state?
Is there a GUI for configuring lightdm-gtk-greeter?

if you consider geany as a gui - yes - but the config file is very well documentated

Now my system is affected too .

Was it a systemsettings update?
