Autologin not working anymore

I’ve enabled autologin in the SDDM settings several months ago. After rebasing to the nvidia-deck image and back to the nvidia-desktop image, it’s not working anymore.

When I start the system the login screen appears. In the settings the autologin is enabled and the username is set correct. however I’m not able to change this. If I try to change it, my password is asked and nothing happens.

And this error message is displayed:
DBus Backend error: could not contact the helper. Connection error: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken… Message error:

Hello

I had the same issue with auto login.
Just rename /etc/sddm.conf.d/steamos.conf to /etc/sddm.conf.d/steamos.conf.bak and autologin should work again.

For the other issue, I don’t know, sorry
