If you're not married to sddm, you can still switch back even in 42.2 to kdm, where including hostname in the greeter string is the traditional default. Look around line 344 et. seq. in kdmrc at %n. You may need to change useTheme to false much later in the file, which I always do, so don't know whether openSUSE's theme would override it.
yes indeed i found some other machine that had some previous open suse versions installed before and although it has itself arrived at 42.2 it was still using in etc/sysconfig/ displaymanager and windowsmanager some kdm and kde-plasma as settings/values, and it showed the hosts machien name on the logon screen which looks a bit different from vanilla 42.2 install state. what is the deal with kdm and sddm and this other setting my machines have had differing from each other: plasma5 and kde-plasma or so it was called. this is getting too complicated for me if i am not to read first the history of decades woth unix graphics stack land and linux land as well and understand all those components and bits and pieces of software. tia -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
