Hi everyone,
I have a strange behaviour with KDE / SDDM, maybe a bug. I did two separate fresh installations out of the officials ISO. One inside a VM, one on my desktop pc and I can confirm this on both of them. I upgraded to NixOS unstable and KDE Plasma 6. Everything is fine as long as I not enable wayland SDDM with:
services.displayManager.sddm.wayland.enable = true;
With the standard config:
services.xserver.displayManager.sddm.enable = true;
there is a /etc/sddm.confwhich links to /etc/static/sddm.conf and links from there into /nix/store. As soon I change this to the above wayland.enable = true there is none anymore. Login procedures still works but without any themed splash screen.
This behaviour is reproducible on both systems.
Here you find the complete configuration.nix:
# Edit this configuration file to define what should be installed on
# your system. Help is available in the configuration.nix(5) man page
# and in the NixOS manual (accessible by running ‘nixos-help’).
