I've just installed kvm on my Kubuntu 18.04 and I got a new user listed on my login screen. Apparently, this is an old bug. Some posts here and there suggested that I should create this file:

/var/lib/AccountsService/users/libvirt-qemu

with this content:

[User]
SystemAccount=true

which I did. But it did not fix the issue. The user is still shown on the login screen. One more thing, before I create the file, I had this user listed in my System Settings as an ordinary user. After I created the file, the user is not listed in the User Manager anymore. So the file has done something but all the way through.

Is there anything else I can try?

To hide libvirt-qemu from the login screen:

Run sudo nano /etc/sddm.conf. If your sddm.conf has a section titled [Users], add HideUsers=libvirt-qemu as a separate line to the section. If your sddm.conf is empty or doesn't have the section titled [Users], add

[Users]
HideUsers=libvirt-qemu

Save /etc/sddm.conf and reboot.

If you want to hide more than one user, separate them with commas without any spaces.

This approach works in Kubuntu 18.04 and in Kubuntu 19.10.
