Hello, thanks for reporting this, but in order to properly triage this, I need more information.
How exactly did you install LightDM? Did you remove SDDM after installing LightDM?
And most importantly, is this still an issue for you?
This looks awfully similar to a bug I've seen before, so for now I'm marking as Incomplete, but if this still affects you, please change it back to New.
Thanks for making Kubuntu better! :)
