logon / lock screen? how would you run that permanently for the lock and logon screens? Ah, sorry, I didn't read properly. the problem here i describe is not a changing hostname of some sort. but to merely print some say courier fontfaced text with a constant string. pretty simple. but how to put it without editing the jpeg or whatever graphics files of some designs of kde and so on? how to only add some simple text ontop? You'd need to tell us which display manager and which screensaver you use, but then you can read their manpages as well as us, I suppose.
The problem here is that is why I came to the list actually, I have not really an idea about all these layers especially the graphics stack of todays Linux. I have a machine that is a fresh 42.2 install, with kde selected during the installer. Thats all I can tell for example for that machine. I read about sddm and all sorts of things. So what is the default 42.2 graphics way to do things? Thats what I have. That is where I try to show a simple text for the user to be able to tell what machine she is accessing for example at the lock screen. Or better say logon screen. Its not even about screensavers I guess. Basic login. After bootup. That screen.
