Configuration file "/var/lib/sddm/.config/sddm-greeterrc" not writable is displayed when booting to KDE I have KDE-Plasma on Arch. I recently changed my DE from Gnome to KDE because of some gdm issues. Everything is working great but while booting, a dialogue shows this prompt. Pressing Enter boots up the system normally but I want to know why this prompt is being shown and how can this be removed. Configuration file "/var/lib/sddm/.config/sddm-greeterrc" not writable. Please contact your system administrator.

I solved the issue by changing the owner of the `/var/lib/sddm/.config/` directory recursively. The owner for the directory was root.


chown sddm:sddm /var/lib/sddm/.config -R


or


chown -R sddm:sddm /var/lib/sddm/.config
