marja11 Shouldn't SDDM filter out non "real" users? Is there a reasons SDDM displays users like "ftp", "apache", etc ? Also, a user in the Greek forum of Mageia, reported that he checked autologing from Plasma's system settings. Then, in the drop down menu, he selected the right user. But when he restarted the system, it defaulted to user "messagebus". Got a black screen and couldn't login. Had to use "recovery mode". Finally, had to, manually, edit the file /etc/sddm.conf The mentioned user, runs Mageia on a virtual machine (if I understood correctly). ( *link to the Greek forum: upgrade mageia 5 to 6 (32 bit) http://mageia-gr.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=443&start=10#p2981 *link to image displaying the "extra" users: https://ibb.co/nvY5TR ) That sounds very similar, almost identical, with this bug.

SDDM does already, see the [Users] section in /etc/sddm.conf. But the systemsettings dialog needs to do the same thing, and it seems the logic is there, check https://github.com/KDE/sddm-kcm/blob/master/src/usersmodel.cpp Our KDE guys would have to take a look why this is not working.

doktor5000 Not in Cauldron on 2020-08-16 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mageia 6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-09-30. It is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't able to fix it before Mageia 6's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you most [2].
