There is no plasma login manager config file
Quote from https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-login-manager
Plasma Login is configured by users through /etc/plasmalogin.conf, which overrides distro-provided defaults at /usr/lib/plasmalogin/defaults.conf. In managed scenarios, the latter file can be modified to set a default wallpaper or login session, with the settings module disabled via Kiosk.
Copying sddm confi files and renaming them to plasmalogin for both config dir and files.
Not sure about manually transferring sddm confs. But plasma-login-manager has it’s own module in the plasma-settings app to configure appearance.
I will check out the plasma settings menu
On the other hand,

Just checked, have a few of them too:
1 Greeter stopping...
2 Auth: plasmalogin-helper exited with 255
3 Greeter stopped. PLASMALOGIN::Auth::HelperExitStatus(255)
Overall no problem logging in so far though. Checking the bugtracker on the weekend.
See the item two down in the Security & Privacy section of the sidebar. Still Login Screen but without the (SDDM) in the title.
I reinstalled the plasma-login-manager and the orientation of the secondary portrait mode is fixed
The section for its setting is back as login screen with no SDDM.
Now trying to see if I can use the theme from SDDM. Note, there is no theme for in the login screen like that for the SDDM
Afaik there isn’t support for 1:1 theming like SDDM provides. The plasma devs considered it a failure. See e.g. https://blog.davidedmundson.co.uk/blog/a-roadmap-for-a-modern-plasma-login-manager/
I kept the kde-unsatble for now. However, I switched back to SDDM. It looks better as it was. The PLM icons were not rendered correctly when switching “on focus”
What about a virtual keyboard for the desktop? Not the one in the login, i mean one to use onscreen like “onboard” in gnome.
Something like plasma-keyboard?
Can i use it for the browser and to write in a text editor? i can see it in the keyboard setting but nowhere else. should i add some addon?
Did you install it? That is the name of the package.
It was installed (i also reinstalled to be sure), i can see it in virtual keyboard setting but i don’t know how to use it don’t appear anywhere.
you need to enable its usage in kde settings in addition to install it as a package:
Default there is set to none, even if only one is installed:
i’ve did that. I just don’t know how to open it to type things in the browser or apps while i’m on the desktop. It just appear on login.
Did you enable touch under Workspace->General Behavior?
i’ve set the touch as “always active” and reboot, still no keyboard.
But it’s a touchscreen and the touch is working properly?
