Using Xubuntu Precise Pangolin Alpha2, The unity-greeter.conf still contains the entry:
[greeter] background=/usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png Wth my nvidia graphic card, the greeting screen flashes with the grid and then goes blank. The login screen is fully functional but one is working blind. My graphics driver is nvidia-current. Commenting out the line or removing it corrects the problem -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/845549 Title: Do not ship /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “lightdm” source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Bug description: Hi, Currently, the lightdm-gtk-greeter binary package ships /etc/lightdm /lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf as a conffile. This is nice for users, because they'll get the usual dpkg prompt on upgrades. Unfortunately, it's not that great for derivatives where this greeter is used and a custom theming is needed. I tested quickly, and the gtk greeter is still able to start, and work without this config file. So could you please stop shipping it (*and handle gracefully its removal in maintainer scripts* -- sorry for the highlight, but you didn't do that for /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf for 0.4.x -> 0.9.x upgrades...). This would allow derivatives to ship their own config file to theme the greeter (currently, I can't theme it for Xubuntu without either doing some not-so-great things with dpkg-divert, or worse, sed, or forking the greeter just to change its settings...).
