SDDM is the login screen, but when you're already logged in it's not going to display anything. If you reboot your computer SDDM is what you see before you start KDE. If you use Gnome then this will be different because Gnome doesn't use SDDM.

The shark kill count would go up way more if we started milking them on an industrial scale.

For comparison here's the error message KDE displays in the same situation: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/15477a5/screen_locker_is_broken/

I believe it has no localization support, but the language is clearer and the command it tells you to run is much simpler. A big problem with it is that Ctrl-Alt-F2 does not actually get you to a working TTY on many distros -- e.g. on Fedora TTY1 is SDDM and TTY2 is the DE -- and the error message is not adjusted based on which TTY is which.
