Bug ID: 527318
Summary: Drop-down menu generates identical duplicate entries,
apparently from symlinks?
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version First 6.6.6
Reported In:
Platform: TuxedoOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_sddm
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
I first noticed this bug and figured out the hypothesis about symlinks being
the cause here:
https://forums.opensuse.org/t/kde-install-defaults-to-wayland-now-how-to-get-x11-instead-cuz-wayland-doesnt-work-with-the-rest-of-my-setup-yet/196627/14
Basically, I noticed that, under
"system settings" > "login screen (sddm)" > "behavior"
the drop-down menu had a few doubled/identical entries
I did:
ls -l /usr/share/xsessions/
and it showed what look like some symlinks,
so I guess the double-entries just came from that?
ie, the GUI presumably populates the drop-down list from something like that
ls,
and it has a minor bug where it fails to resolve "thing" and "symlink to thing"
as a single entry?
I personally found this after installing an opensuse tumbleweed vm,
which comes with "icewm" as a backup, which came with the symlink thing,
so I think it should be easy to reproduce?
