SDDM Astronaut theme with Autologin

This script installs sddm-astronaut-theme from last stream and provides an option to enable autologin with sddm. Users can choose which desktop session they want to autologin on startup. After selecting desktop session, it will do a sddm restart and autologin to that desktop.

Testing

If you want to test it first, do the following.

git clone --branch sddm https://github.com/mashrukk/linutil
cd linutil && cargo run

@mashrukk Don't make any more changes to this. It's perfect how it is now.

[nnyyxxxx]

Looks good at the time of reviewing; might be different if anything changes. (needs testing aswell)

[nnyyxxxx]

@mashrukk These are the last 2 changes we request of you, thank you for your contribution otherwise.

[adamperkowski]

@mashrukk If you'd give me write permissions on your branch, I could squash those commits into one. In your settings

[adamperkowski]

As @nnyyxxxx said: this needs testing, the commits need squashing. (not quoting)

Code looks good for now, although this might change after the tests. I could test this out later when I'm able to, then I'll approve the changes.

@guruswarupa I appreciate your work. Instead of making a separate autologin script. It's better to have SDDM with auto login functionality.

@guruswarupa I appreciate your work. But Instead of making a separate autologin script. It's better to have SDDM with auto login functionality.

my script auto-login is for multiple display managers. this pr should just work on setting up the theme and not adding features such as autologin which is part of util features, wherein user can choose to keep autologin on or not. what if he doesn't need autologin but wants to have the theme setup? hope you get my point.

@guruswarupa Check the script. It doesn't just set up a theme. It installs SDDM with the theme and asks the user if they want to auto-login, which is optional.

[guruswarupa]

@mashrukk yeah fine, also restarting sddm without asking user is unexpected behavior for script to do.

[guruswarupa]

@guruswarupa That's a good point. But, If it's executed from TTY and we don't restart. The user will have to type the command enable --now Right? In that case we can just enable it. I need your inputs @adamperkowski @nnyyxxxx

if its added to the sddm.conf, automatically when user restarts the theme should be loaded. in the sddm install add sudo systemctl enable sddm.service
