I'm not sure of that.
Disable autologin imho means that user have to login before enter the
desktop (that is SDDM is displayed).
Not that one cannot do anything apart to stay in front of monitor
watching a plain black screen :D

Thanks, looking forward to read your test result.

However, please note:
I make installs always the same way. Same RAM, same partitions, same
user choices (i.e. no autologin). Sometimes I run install from ISO
menu, sometimes from live mode by launching #calamares in konsole.
This is to test each of the two methods, but no changes.
With an old calamares version everything works fine using the same ISO(s).
If you think it's too bothering for you, please just let me know. I'm
only testing & reporting.
