I want to change the login screen in fedora 40 but somehow it just does not work. I tried to change it with the sddm themes but they won’t apply no matter what I do. I can’t get rid of the default grey backgrounded login of Fedora.
Note: I initially downloaded the Fedora 40 workstation with gnome and then switched to kde plasma. Could that be the issue?
Not the op, but mine outputs “loaded active running”. I assume this means that gdm is still being used for login, and that I need to switch this to SDDM somehow?
EDIT – confirmed. this was the issue. switched to sddm
sudo systemctl disable gdm
sudo systemctl enable sddm
