[Bug 1788797] Re: Regression: Live session login via sddm (emtpy password) fails

[Rik Mills]

** Description changed:

  Series: Cosmic
- sddm: 0.18.0-1ubuntu2 
+ sddm: 0.18.0-1ubuntu2
  casper: 1.395
  
  Since casper change: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/1.395
  
  "Set empty live user password on all flavours, this was previously gdm
  specific."
  
  sddm login to the live session is not possible. e.g. should the live
  session user log out or restart X/sddm
- 
- In discussion @ https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/751 it appears that
- sddm does not support login with an empty password.
- 
- Focus of that discussion is more towards autologin when clicking a user
- with a black password, but it is also clear that clicking login with no
- password in the password box for a passwordless user will also fail.
