this has a simple reason: the string from kdmrc (and the built-in default, fwiw) is not i18n-ed. due to the way the kdm config works - i18n-ing the default is possible, but ugly. ok, not more ugly than the i18n of the auth backend. - i18n-ing explicitly specified strings (like GreetString[de]) is not possible without major shuffling alltogether. I don't see a sane way either *** Bug 139894 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I can confirm this bug. Custom GreetString= messages are ignored, in kdmrc, until themed mode is turned off. 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/ |
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.91) Installed from: Compiled From Sources OS: Linux hi the GreetString defined in kdmrc is not used if you set UseTheme=true it is hardcoded: { "welcome-label", I18N_NOOP("Welcome to %h") }, // _greetString would be nice if it would also possible to use the greetstring defind in kdmrc, else i have to hack kdmlabel.cpp for our greeting string. greetings from Archlinux team
