severity: important

It is regression from kdm. I have a user with uid less than 1000 and
it is not listed in sddm. kdm was perfect, gdm3 had an option to
enter, but sddm is unusable for me. Same would be for root login.

Package: sddm
Version: 0.13.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #813409

It is worse than that :
I am on a system with more then 900 users, sddm does not even present
all of them : I cannot log in.

PS: this is more a bug of the default sddm them (sddm-theme-breeze),
but I cannot find a way t change it when ssh connected.

If you have users with an uid lower than 1000 you need to create an 
/etc/sddm.conf file with:

[Users]
MinimumUid=100

See to sddm.conf(5) manpage for more options.

You can either install a different theme and remove the sddm-theme-breeze 
package or, without removing sddm-theme-breeze, set your prefered theme in 
the /etc/sddm.conf file under:

[Theme]
Current=maui

I'm closing the issue as it seems that the issues can be fixed adding the 
desired options to the /etc/sddm.conf file.
