[solved]Plasma autologin error

Latest plasma and arch installed.

Editing /etc/sddm.conf works for autologin.

I wanted to use autologin from gui instead.

System settings -> Users -> autologin

It doesnt work.

Ksystemlog error output:

12.08.2016 13:55    systemsettings5    log_user_manager: "org.freedesktop.Accounts.Error.Failed"
12.08.2016 13:55    systemsettings5    log_user_manager: "failed to change automatic login: No such file or directory"
12.08.2016 13:55    systemsettings5    log_user_manager: Failed Roles:  (AccountModel::AutomaticLogin)

Thing is i don't know which file is missing from this.

KDE Bugs:
-  Bug 363058 - Autologin not working : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363058
-  Bug 358441 - System settings --> User Manager --> Automatic login does not save : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358441

If you want to use a gui: KDE System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Login Screen (SDDM) - Advanced tab has the Auto Login option...
