Hi,
I recently installed f41, running KDE Plasma. I set the theme to Breeze but the login screen remains unchanged. I tried resetting it to other themes, but still the login screen stays the same.
Not sure if this is a bug or not, and it is really not functionally causing a problem, strictly visual. It worked on f40, but not with the latest kernel.
Please let me know if you need any configuration detail.
Thanks,
Mark
off subject but I see lots of discussion involving nvidia drivers. I installed mine from the rpm fusion repo - rawhide. It is working great with no issues.

Seams to be a bug. Not being able to use a custom path for SDDM.
There is a workaround, till someone is willing to report the bug upstreem (not being able to use a other background path).
I hope you saw that what I posted is also a workaround for the atomic-desktop (immutable KDE).
The default path the themes use is:
/usr/share/sddm/themes as you not use ? immutable Atomic-Desktop, you can use the path as is, but you have to set it in the config file, because sddm can just use one default location for the backgrounds alias Theme.
I had made a typo, and this solution works, sort of. It first brings you to the original login screen, once you login, it sends you to the âthemedâ SSDM and you have to login again. Makes the system quite buggy get logged on. I think Iâll revert it back and wait for the bug fix.
swapping between the 2 preinstalled themes (breeze, fedora (breeze with default background)) should work on any Fedora KDE, atomic or not.
are you using the Fedora KDE spin or Kinoite?
we need a lot more infos, as this simply is not reproducible on a default setup. did you change any polkit rules, is your user in the wheel group? if you enter pkexec echo "test" or opening KDE-Partitionmanager work, displaying a password prompt?
Yes, on user being in wheel group. I tried switching back and forth between themes and same thing. However, if I let the computer go into idle mode, logging back in, then SSDM does display. It is only on the initial log in that it does not.
