Package: gdm3
Version: 3.30.2-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I have been having issues with updating the background image in gdm3. I
followed the instruction on the Debian wiki here: https://wiki.debian.org/GDM.
The /etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults file says I should change picture-uri to a
world readable uri. I tried both a file:// uri and a plain filepath. Neither
work with either restarting gdm, rebooting, running dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 and
then rebooting.
Whilst the background doesn't change, other changes to this file are picked up
(e.g. disable-user-list=true).
I asked on the Debian user list and someone directed me to a method updating
the theme itself, which worked. Thread here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-
user/2019/04/msg00245.html
Upgrading the package has reverted my changes though and I once again have a
plain background.
