NAME

6       sddm - the simple desktop display manager
7

SYNOPSIS

9       sddm [OPTIONS...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       sddm is a display and login manager based on Qt technologies.
13
14       Using QtQuick and QML, designers are given the ability to easily create
15       pleasant, modern looking interfaces for sddm.
16
17       sddm runs the greeter as a system user named sddm whose home  directory
18       needs to be set to /var/lib/sddm.
19
20       If  pam  and systemd are available, the greeter will go through logind,
21       which will give it access to drm devices.
22
23       Distributions without pam and systemd will need to put  the  sddm  user
24       into  the  video  group,  otherwise errors regarding GL and drm devices
25       might be experienced.
26
27       For X11 sessions, the cookie for X authorization is written into a tem‐
28       porary file /tmp/xauth_XXXXXX, owned and only accessible by the user.
