How did you enable autologin?
Comment by Matt (mattrattus) - Saturday, 05 August 2023, 13:38 GMT
Exactly as it is mentioned in wiki.arch
New file /etc/sddm.conf.d/autologin.conf and then
[Autologin]
Session=i3
User=matt

That's all. Until the last update, for the last few months, I had no problems with it.

Just tried this with an xfce session. Cannot repro. i.e. autologin still works fine with 0.20.0-2. There must be something else going on with your system. You could always compare the journal for the working and non-working runs to try and debug it.

Yes, I don't see how the changes in 0.20.0-2 could affect auto login. Please search for any significant errors in the logs.
