last AD user is not remembered #1418

Open majojoe opened 3 years ago

All Computers in our Company are connected to a domain like this is the case in most Enterprise environments. This is also true for our Kubuntu Computers. But a very annoying thing is, that the last AD user is not remembered when using sddm. One must click onto the Search Button and enter the Username, followed by the password every time one needs to login. Wouldn't it be possible that the last AD user is also remembered in standard Themes? For now we have helped ourselfs using a very old text only theme.

Btw: Another issue I have noticed when logging in especially in virtual machines: When logging in the screen with sddm the screen keeps often black until the screen of the VM is resized or otherwise changed, showing then the normal screen after the login. One would expect that sddm would show up this screen automatically after the login animation. The login animation is also not shown then.

I think there is no solution for this problem. This problem has existed for many years - there is still no solution. MaximumUid, RememberLastUsers - do not work.

I also have this problem. Domain UID are quite large in our case. the only solution I found is to use elarun sddm theme, it works with RememberLastUsers

Sounds like a theme bug. Which one is broken?

I have noticed this issue with the standard Kubuntu Theme "Breeze". I also tried several other themes (about halve a dozen). None of them worked - but to be honest I cannot remember which ones I have tried in - sorry. To mitigate the problem I use the theme "Expose Blue" which is text based and remembers just the text until next login. @plop28: Thank you for the hint. Which distribution do you use? In Kubuntu 22.04 I can find 3 themes which are elarun based, but do not come with the distribution.

plop28 commented 8 months ago

Yes, same problem on all "modern" themes I tried.

@majojoe Only text based (with no user dropdown list or avatar list) are working like you said. I'm on Debian 12.4, and i have installed elarun theme via apt : sddm-theme-debian-elarun and sddm-theme-elarun
