It might be worth investigating the use-case a bit further to try to understand if this is the best way to solve this. Is it useful? Yes. But there are potentiall negative impacts that should be balanced against the relative increase in utility. We also need to belly up to identifying primary and secondary target personas and scenarios for Plasma (maybe a thing for the upcomign sprint). At best, I'd suggest that exposing the host name here would target a secondary persona and any associated scenarios. While I can't argue that the scenario in the bug report isn't legitimate, I'm not sure it warrants adding information to the lock-screen that is of little-to-no value to primary target personas and scenarios. The cost we're trying to mitigate in the bug report is that the user logs in/unlocks to identify the computer versus knowing it one interaction step earlier. For the lab/shared computers, the scenario requires that more than one computer is shared (probably in relative proximity to each other) and some particular need that requires knowing the computer identity *before* logging in/unlocking. Even in corporate environments that seems like quite a marginal scenario. So for me, I'm struggling to see how the potentially negative impact of added information noise for what I think are the primary target personas and scenarios balances what is, I think, a marginal increase in utility for a marginal scenario for a secondary target persona. Hope this helps! - Andrew Lake On Feb. 11, 2015, 1:59 p.m., Martin Gräßlin wrote: > > ----------------------------------------------------------- > This is an automatically generated e-mail.
