So i dont see sddm login screen option in plasma settings..Can it be enabled/customized?Or i just need to use default one? I am new in NixOS but i figured out how it works, and managed to install all my apps, and nvidia 580 drivers, wine etc..Only thing i cant figure out is that login screen option missing..It isnt a big deal but if someone knows or use it i would like to know how to enable it..Btw Distro is Top Notch..little confusing at beggining but, later it gets better and better:D
It’s under the services.displayManager.sddm option. My config as example:
services = {
desktopManager.plasma6.enable = true;
xserver.enable = true;
displayManager = {
sddm = {
enable = true;
autoNumlock = true;
wayland.enable = true;
};
};
};
# Enable the X11 windowing system.
You can disable this if you’re only using the Wayland session.
services.xserver.enable = true;
Enable the KDE Plasma Desktop Environment.
services = {
desktopManager.plasma6.enable = true;
xserver.enable = true;
displayManager = {
sddm = {
enable = true;
autoNumlock = true;
wayland.enable = true;
};
};
};
i think i did something wrong..it says: error: attribute ‘services.xserver.enable’ already defined at /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:62:3
at /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:67:5:
66| desktopManager.plasma6.enable = true;
67| xserver.enable = true;
Right. You’ve defined that option twice. I mean, it’s not obvious when you’re new that you can’t define an option twice, but in fact you can’t. So remove one of the twodefinitions - e.g. remove services.xserver.enable = true;
Ah, you mean you want to set the theme? I don’t think NixOS can make the SDDM theme into something you can set from within KDE, but NixOS can set the theme from your configuration.nix - see
and
for examples. It’s not easy to see how to get other themes - NixOS doesn’t include a list of what themes there are. I guess you’ll have to do a general web search to see what’s available. If you don’t feel like working that out then that’s understandable but it’s not something that NixOS makes particularly easy.
ok thanks man, now i know where to look..i actually just want to change background wallpaper..nothing fancy.

If you use home manager, GitHub - nix-community/plasma-manager: Manage KDE Plasma with Home Manager [maintainer=@HeitorAugustoLN] allows you to set various config.
