After install via respin-installer, sddm welcome screen is broken.

Hello,

First I want to say thank you for continuing your work on such a great project!

I believe I discovered a bug, I am using respin 4.0.2.

I have successfully created backup and dist versions of my Debian (Stretch 9.9) install. On the dist version of the iso, after booting the live USB and performing a successful installation via sudo respin-installer.

The sddm does not start, upon further investigation, it appears that /etc/sddm.conf is still configured to autologin using the "live" a user that no longer exists on the installed version, which causes the sddm to fail to load. :(

Logging in via ttys I was was able to correct this on the installed system by simply removing the autologin lines from /etc/sddm.conf and restarting.

Please let me know you have any further questions 😄

Thanks!
