Package: sddm
Version: 0.19.0-3
I recently upgraded my system to bullseye and sddm autologin no longer
works.
The screen gets stuck black with the a cursor blinking, but nothing more
happens.
I cannot switch to the console via ctrl+alt+F1.
However login in via ssh from another machine works perfectly.
The file /etc/pam.d/sddm-autologin is not modified and identical to the
upstream (debian) version.
In journalctl i find the following sddm entries (please ignore the
QIODevice::write entry - state.conf is by purpose not writeable and never
caused any problems).

Since the problem is reproducible and the machine does not crash, I can
assist with more logs, etc.
Thanks for your support in advance,
Ralf
