... because we have too few options. :) i don't see a use case for this. it even seems counter-productive: you never know how old the info is - when a group of students enters the lab, 5 minutes are a damn long time. it might be a good idea to grey out the list after half a minute or something (just clearing is no option, as it kills the preselection), so you just have to hit refresh. what you really want is the view auto-refreshing when somebody looks at it. we can't achieve _that_, but acting upon keyboard and mouse activity should be good enough - after all, usually the screen saver (err, which one? :}) or DPMS kicks in, so you just have to do something to see the greeter, and later on you have to do something anyway (even though it is certainly a bit frustrating when the list changes after you have read it already). OK, so maybe we could have a timer start upon inactivity. If 30 seconds have passed, any action on the host list (clicking an item, focussing it) makes the list update itself. No option. Deal? KDM is unmaintained and not used in KDE Plasma 5. SDDM is the login manager used in KDE Plasma 5. If you still have this same issue with SDDM, please file an issue on the SDDM bugtracker (after doing a search for existing issues first!): https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/ |
