Using the default login manager / greeter (sddm) which seems to support both X11 and Wayland. However i have to type my password at each startup, despite trying every way i can think of to get my session to start automatically on boot. Makes no difference which desktop/WM i last used: KDE (default), icewm etc.

  • Ubuntu 23.04 is a released product, with Ubuntu mantic being the alpha or beta product, and it being renamed from Ubuntu mantic to Ubuntu 23.04 when it reached RC status (what follows beta). If you're still using the beta then please upgrade packages asap as that maybe related to your issue, otherwise you're using Ubuntu Studio 23.04 and not a beta thus question needs editing. fridge.ubuntu.com/2023/04/20/…

  • Modifying sddm to autologin is covered in many places; ie. disabling in the Lubuntu manual (manual.lubuntu.me/stable/3/3.1/3.1.8/sddm_configuration.html) or enabling it in questions (discourse.lubuntu.me/t/…) but I'd first check what you're using... ie. beta highlights you're months behind on security fixes & that is your major issue as I see it. (sddm is shared by Kubuntu, Lubuntu & Ubuntu Studio with all the same in this regard)

  • @guiverc thanks for the info in both your above comments. The installation process did have an option to have auto-login enabled by default, it might be some left-over ubuntu stuff that's not shared by K, L, and Studio? Also, i don't need to reinstall the OS to apply the new beta->RCx/current changes? That machine is pretty up to date with what's shown in the repositories.

  • If your machine is pretty yo to date then it's not beta and won't have been since 13 April 2023 (see discourse.ubuntu.com/t/lunar-lobster-release-schedule/27284 where RC replaced beta) thus correct post; as using beta implies your system is very behind on security fixes & packages. FYI: Ubuntu Studio & Lubuntu both share QA of the installer, as we both use the same calamares.... If you applied all security fixes you'll be using 23.04 & lsb_release -a will say so, eg. Description: Ubuntu Mantic Minotaur (development branch) on a alpha or beta for mantic

  • If you were still using 23.04 beta you'd see Description: Ubuntu Lunar Lobster (development branch) and not 23.04 (same occurs with alpha & beta... it changed to 23.04 when it reached RC or Release Candidate in the final days before release of Ubuntu 23.04 (& all flavors)
