I use SDDM as session manager in Lubuntu 19.04. By default I got two desktops: Lubuntu and LXQt. I have two users. Each one uses a different desktop session.
However, every time I switch users, the last used desktop session is shown in drop-down list (when in SDDM).
How can I configure SDDM so it remembers that user1 always starts with Lubuntu session and user2 with LXQt?
Right now the user must manually choose the session every time he enters. I believe it should be a matter of selecting the user, writing the password and voilá!

These settings are located in /etc/sddm.conf.d/ you should be able to achieve this with some of the settings?
I would try something like the following

@LobaLuna are you restarting sddm? There should be a log somewhere of what is happening, I don't know where sddm stores these, but you may try checking the journal?
– j-money
Sep 22 at 17:42
Yes, @j-money. One restart per each Remember setting, and one for both used together. Your idea of checking the journal is correct. Unfortunately,/var/log/sddm.logis empty (don't know why)

Hmmm, you might try asking upstream then? As it looks like you should be doing everything correctly, (Though we may be misintrepeting some of the flags). github.com/sddm/sddm
