[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1288075] Re: Xubuntu lightdm: Wrong wallpaper at login screen.
Thank you for your bug report, xubuntu isn't using the unity-greeter but the gtk one, which doesn't feature changing wallpaper with the user.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1288075] Re: Xubuntu lightdm: Wrong wallpaper at login screen.
I don't know what greeter it is using, or have been using. But I do know that saucy is showing the users wallpaper. (Well, maybee wallpaper of the last one who have been loged in?) One of the more elegant changes since Precis. AÍ also know that I'm stuck with the old wallpaper, wich was the correct one then. It just doesn't seem to update it. How I changed the wallpaper image? I right-clicked on the desktop and choosed desktop settings. And from there another picture of my liking. (We are jsut talking jpg-pictures, if it matters.) No funny hacking of the system files so far. -- 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/1288075 Title: Xubuntu lightdm: Wrong wallpaper at login screen.

could you take a photo of your login screen so we are sure we are talking about the same greeter? some data points: - whatever you use to set your user background needs to write its config in accountsservice (the service the greeter uses), nautilus and gnome- control-center do it in Unity, not sure if xfce does it - the image you set must be readable by other users, otherwise the greeter can't access it (e.g the directory where it's storing needs to be world readable), that's bug #928553 -- 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/1288075 Title: Xubuntu lightdm: Wrong wallpaper at login screen.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1288075] Re: Xubuntu lightdm: Wrong wallpaper at login screen.
Sebastian: Picture of login screen attached! I have done some more research. 1) It does not affect newly created accounts. (Created today.) 2) Of the two older accounts, I can only try with my own. Missing the password for the other one. I tried again, and I was not mistaken. Xubuntu does change wallpaper in lightdm when another user is highlighted, whatever greeter it might be. (Wasn't that change made between quantal and raring?) In both cases of my and the new account, all pictures as in jpg-format and saved in the accounts homefolders. I havn't been bothering about the reading rights, and have therefore not been activly changing them eigther. They are all downloaded with FF from google image search. lightdm doesn't look the after the upgrade to trusty. Did any config- files change as well? Or does the update script mess around with reading rights as well? I guess the explanaition/solotion is somewere here. ** Attachment added: Pic of screen on demand. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1288075/+attachment/4008130/+files/IMG_0003.JPG -- 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/1288075 Title: Xubuntu lightdm: Wrong wallpaper at login screen.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1288075] Re: Xubuntu lightdm: Wrong wallpaper at login screen.
thanks for the screenshot, that's indeed no unity-greeter, I didn't know the gtk greeter had that feature if you connect with another user, can you access the background from your normal user? it might be that /home/user has different permission for that old user? can you ls -ld /home/$USER (same on the directory including the backgroud image) ** Package changed: lightdm (Ubuntu) = lightdm-gtk-greeter (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: lightdm-gtk-greeter (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New -- 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/1288075 Title: Xubuntu lightdm: Wrong wallpaper at login screen.
