SDDM ignores custom configuration (/etc/sddm.conf)
I've been trying to configure a new theme for SDDM but whatever the changes I do the settings window or manually in /etc/sddm.conf, the embedded default greeter is still the one I get when booting, and the default lock-screen is still the one I get after sleep. I'm on Fedora 28, KDE 5.13.5, kernel 4.19, trying to set Chili as my lockscreen and greeter. Installed it via KDE's SDDM settings GUI, checked the install dir and everything's where it should be. Here is my /etc/sddm.conf :
│ File: sddm.conf
│________________________
1 │ [Autologin]
2 │ Relogin=false
3 │ Session=plasma.desktop
4 │ User=renard
5 │
6 │ [General]
7 │ Numlock=on
8 │ HaltCommand=
9 │ RebootCommand=
10 │
11 │ [Theme]
12 │ Current=plasma-chili
13 │ CursorTheme=Adwaita
14 │
15 │ [Users]
16 │ MaximumUid=65000
17 │ MinimumUid=1000
Also the theme works just fine when using sddm-greeter --test-mode --theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/plasma-chili/. I can't acces /var/lib/ssdm which seems normal, and I have no sddm.conf.d folder anywhere. Even more puzzling is that it's an issue I've read a bit about before coming here, and I've seen people back from 2014 having the same problems, but I couldn't find a fix anywhere.
