Run
ujust _toggle-autologin in terminal. Same command to revert itThx very much! this wroked!
keep in mind this also breaks valves session control that makes the gamescope session function.
if you want access to desktop mode + gamescope and select which one to boot then you will have to make you own image and delete 1-2 files to give you back the login menu (they are in
/etc/sddm.conf.d/) however they will get added back in an update automatically if you remove it from the ublue bazzite image, hence why you will need a custom image for it that functionality.You mean a new custom build Image from this distro?
Or what i Have to change in sddm.conf ?
I am ok with adding or uncomment few lines
you can try commenting out the whole files, but no guarantee it will work in the long run from me.
there should be 2 files in
/etc/sddm.conf.d/ one is to enable a virtual touch keyboard on the sddm login (no controller support)
the other is for the valve steamos session switching
if you want to keep the virtual keyboard then do not modify the file that mentions keyboard.
if you want to enable the login screen, try commenting out everything from the other file.
NOTE: please re-run ujust _toggle-autologin before doing this, as i have no idea how it interacts with that and if it wil break your login if the autologin (for the valve steamos session handling) causes issues when enabling the login screen again
