I had a look at "/usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze-openSUSE". There is a "theme.conf" file, which contains:
background=components/artwork/1920x1080.jpg
which is a relative path. In that location there is a symlink to the actual picture. So you just need to take the picture and add a text to it. No need to create a new theme, just alter one.
On every machine I install? What if the hostname changes?
Hum. Good point. Then the script has to run on every boot, creating your copy of the background. On /etc/cron.d/something @boot, perhaps.
Make the theme point to your file (probably with sed or something), and make sure the file contains the correct text.
I'm sure I can solve the problem if I put my mind to it, but I want to keep things minimal and simple. It has to be repeated on every install and the list of customisations is only growing longer and longer. I was hoping to be able to add '$hostname' to some file somewhere :-)
As to the lock screen . what displays it? I think it is the screensaver. So just choose one that displays a photo. Can be a full black with a text.
I asked about screensavers a while ago, I'm sure I was told they're all gone. No need or no interest.
Ah. Maybe on KDE, but certainly not on XFCE (and I guess Gnome). It is xscreensaver which locks the display for sure. I can see it in "ps afxu" output.
The software that locks the screen is still installed by default, but there is no "screensaver" in the traditional sense of the word: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screensaver
I don't run KDE, so I can't verify what app or thing displays the lock screen. What do you get when it locks, black? diplay powers off? What happens when you push a key, what do you get? A prompt text? No image?
When it locks, the screen goes black, later the monitor goes into power saving mode. When I hit a key, the lock/login screen is shown with the time and date and a field for the password.
Perhaps you could create a script that hacks this in any machine reading the current hostname.
Just a thought - an awful lot of work for something that used to be standard.
Yes. Such is progress. Software is replaced, not improved. Maintenance mode is gone.
Actually, when something new is worse than what it replaces, it's called regression. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
