How to enable autologin in SDDM?

[TotallyEz]

Hello!

I’m trying to create a script to make the SDDM prompt skip to the kde splashscreen

According to the arch wiki this can be achieved by adding this script under “Autostart”

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.Lock &

Which is what i did

Here’s the .sh file i had made

I hope arch-related questions are accepted here,

i am not the pro on plasma or sddm but there is a config in the settings to do that or not?

You seem to have misunderstood me,I do not want to disable the splashscreen i merely want sddm to autologin and skip to the splashscreen.

Yes could be my magic ball is blurred

Autologin is working?
So go disable splash to not let it show up in settings.
Autologin is not working?
set it up in settings:
