Configuration#
The default configuration file for SDDM can be found at /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/default.conf. For any changes, create configuration file(s) in /etc/sddm.conf.d/. See sddm.conf(5) for all options.
The sddm-kcm package (included in the plasma group) provides a GUI to configure SDDM in Plasma's system settings. There is also a Qt-based sddm-config-editor-gitAUR available in the AUR.
Everything should work out of the box, since Arch Linux uses systemd and SDDM defaults to using systemd-logind for session management.
order#
Configuration loads all files in the configuration directories followed by the configuration file in the order listed below with the latter having highest precedence. Changes should be made to the local configurations.
/usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d
System configuration directory
/etc/sddm.conf.d
Local configuration directory
/etc/sddm.conf
Local configuration file for compatibility
