    [SOLVED] How to get default SDDM theme back?

    Hi,
    All I did was changing mouse pointer theme in SDDM configuration and clicking Apply. After this the SDDM was a white screen with almost nothing visible (I could login though). How can I get default Kubuntu 18.04's SDDM theme back? I've tried few themes from repository but they don't look as good as the default one.

    The KDE SDDM configuration module is editing /etc/sddm.conf
    Code:
    [Autologin]
    Relogin=false
    Session=
    User=
    
    [General]
    HaltCommand=
    RebootCommand=
    
    [Theme]
    Current=breeze
    CursorTheme=breeze_cursors
    
    [Users]
    MaximumUid=65000
    MinimumUid=1000
    Does your config file has the "Current=breeze" line ?

    and the theme configuration (breeze): /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/theme.conf.user
    Code:
    [General]
    background=someimage.jpg
    type=image
    Does your /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/ directory have the "someimage.jpg" file ?



    You could test your SDDM theming with the command:

    Code:
    sddm-greeter --test-mode --theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze
    Code:
    $ sddm-greeter --help
    [22:17:26.414] (II) GREETER: High-DPI autoscaling not Enabled
    Usage: sddm-greeter [options]
    SDDM greeter
    
    Options:
     -h, --help       Displays this help.
     -v, --version    Displays version information.
     --test-mode      Start greeter in test mode
     --socket <name>  Socket name
     --theme <path>   Greeter theme

      Yes, I had to find and add the background file because it wasn't set. It's strange because all I did was changing mouse theme. Thank you for your help.
