Version: 3.5 (using KDE 4.8.0) OS: Linux I have two nearly identical laptops. The lock screens look identical. I need to know if I am logging on to (my computer names) Jupiter or Neptune I saw no obvious way to do this. This should be default behavior (here), and configurable downstream... The bug may be with kubuntu tho, I donno Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Have your screen get locked. type in a password. Actual Results: realize it was for the other machine. Expected Results: see a nice big SYSTEM NAME locked, user blah locked it, enter password to unlock, override with admin etc.. I upgraded to 4.8, This happened with 4.7, I don't remember it being with 4.6, but probably was
My suggestion would be to switch wallpapers in the lockscreen - on the one hand there are ways to include a name from a design perspective without any issue to the Breeze theme but at the same time the same thing can be acquired by the user changing wallpapers on one of his/her identical laptops. (You can even add your computer Name to the lockscreen wallpaper in gimp and use that?)
I agree with Jens; just use different lock screen backgrounds.
