#87 Kinoite: sddm/plasmalogin user/group not stable across builds
Opened by siosm. Modified

Open
Close Issue

sddm user/group are not stable across builds (when some packages adding users/groups are added/removed) which leads to ownership issues in Kinoite.

I will be making a PR with a workaround in the sddm package while I figure out a way to fix this issue.

We'd probably need to set static uid+gid for sddm.

First step is https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/sddm/pull-request/1

PR merged

Thanks!

Note that this one is still open because we need to do the following:

  1. Pick a UID / GID for SDDM and update https://pagure.io/setup/blob/master/f/uidgid and related files.
  2. Wait for 1/2 releases after the one where we land the change to make sure that all systems are updated to the new UID/GID & the /var/lib/sddm folder has been updated to it.

This probably needs to be updated for the change to PLM?

As you carried (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/plasma-login-manager/blob/rawhide/f/c5ddc7d6da9733ee471b4287092cb05108a0fb73.patch) the workaround I had made for SDDM (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/sddm/pull-request/1), we probably don't need to act on this immediately.

But might still be good to do at some point.
