KDE 3.5 login splash image delay too short.

English Applications
1

I’m using opensuse Leap 15.3 with KDE 3.5.10 “release lp153”.
The login splash image does not show for longer than 2-3 seconds before the desktop shows up.
How do I make it show for a longer period of time?
Which file to edit?

Thanks in advance/
Linuxfan.

Sorry, do not quite understand this. The login display should be there until you entered username and password and clicked “login”. And then it should vanish immediately.

Sorry for the inconvenience! What I mean is the small image in the middle of the screen after clicking the loginbutton.

Thanks/

Do you mean the splash shown while X and the desktop are starting? Here it is the lizard lamp with the spinning circle.

In a fast SSD/CPU system this time would be quite short. In a Ryzen system with nvme ssd I have here this lasts about 1 second. This system boots straight to the desktop, the login is automatic.

You’d have to insert a delay after X is loaded, I suppose. No idea how to do that, thou.

Then I still do not understand. That sort of thing is shown to make waiting until the starting of the desktop is finished a bit more bearable for the person that wants to start working (I do not know if this is scientific proven, but just showing a black screen seems to be something you can not do to a waiting person). Thus it vanishes when things are ready.
Thus when you want to see that longer, you have to make the starting of the desktop slower. Maybe use a slower CPU. Sorry, but I do not understand the idea behind it.
