Bug ID: 293449
Summary: x11-themes/sddm-freebsd-black-theme incompatible with
SDDM 0.21.0 (Qt6 greeter)
Product: Ports & Packages
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Individual Port(s)
Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org

Hello,
The port x11-themes/sddm-freebsd-black-theme appears to be incompatible with
the current version of SDDM (0.21.0.36_2).
1. Incorrect greeter requirement
The theme currently requires:
/usr/local/bin/sddm-greeter
However, recent SDDM versions (including 0.21.0.36_2) use:
/usr/local/bin/sddm-greeter-qt6
As a result, SDDM reports:
The theme at "/usr/local/share/sddm/themes/sddm-freebsd-black-theme"
requires missing "/usr/local/bin/sddm-greeter". Using fallback theme.
(WW) DAEMON: The theme at
"/usr/local/share/sddm/themes/sddm-freebsd-black-theme" requires missing
"/usr/local/bin/sddm-greeter" . Using fallback theme.
Even if I temporarily work around this with:
ln -s /usr/local/bin/sddm-greeter-qt6 /usr/local/bin/sddm-greeter
the theme still fails to load.
2. QML error with Qt6 greeter
When forcing it to use sddm-greeter-qt6, the greeter reports:
The current theme cannot be loaded due to the errors below,
please select another theme.
file:///usr/local/share/sddm/themes/sddm-freebsd-black-theme/Main.qml:49:24:
Invalid property assignment: "name" is a read-only property
This suggests the theme’s QML is not compatible with the Qt6-based greeter and
likely needs to be updated for Qt6.
3. Maintainer status
According to FreshPorts:
https://www.freshports.org/x11-themes/sddm-freebsd-black-theme/
There is currently no maintainer assigned for this port.
If needed, I am willing to take over maintenance of this port and update it to
properly support SDDM with Qt6.
Please let me know the correct procedure for becoming the maintainer.
Thank you.
