Re: [Trisquel-users] Login screen with different wallpapers

Then, if you also have Plasma installed in your Trisquel system you just need  
to run "sudo systemsettings5" then enter "Login screen (SDDM)" section to add  
your favourite SDDM themes.
However, are there also simple tools to do so if LightDM instead of SDDM?  
Simply I'm asking for SDDM-KCM-like tools for LightDM.

$ cat /etc/conf.d/xdm
DISPLAYMANAGER=sddm
DISPLAY_MANAGER=sddm
Here stores your preferred DM in Parabola, then  
/etc/X11/default-display-manager stores this for Trisquel right? :)

I changed the picture there (background.png). It only applies to the splash  
screen. My mistake was to assume it would apply for login screen as well.

I actually think you are onto something. i  oticed that my shutdown screen 
still uses the default wallpaper. maybe that image is drawn from the plymouth 
folder as you indicated? I might check this.

You wonder for a reason. That location was the Plymouth Splash screen file  
folder. My mistake. Your solution stands.

The folder you are referencing - on my computer, which is running Trisquel 8  
looks different. The Trisquel LOGO is there, but no Desktop wallpaper.


Which version of Trisquel are you running?

[enduzzer]

The background wallpaper is @ /usr/share/plymouth/themes/trisquel-logo.

Edit /usr/share/plymouth/themes/trisquel-logo/trisquel-logo.plymouth to  
change the wallpaper.

I just tried to solve this issue myself and also could not figure out to make  
lighdm in Trisquel 8 point to a different image for the login screen  
background wallpaper. However, I have been able to change the wallpaper by  
going to /usr/share/backgrounds and overwriting the "flidas.jpg" image with  
my own, using the same name.


You may want to backup the "flidas.jpg" image before you overwrite it! :D

It's probably lightdm.

Thanks

Apparently I don't have systemsettings5 installed. Also, I would not change  
the login manager to get this effect, I just thought it was possible to  
obtain it by changing some simple configuration. Thanks anyway.
How can I know which login manager I have installed and running right now?  
Thanks.

You may need to try to change another login manager like SDDM, in SDDM  
changing backgrounds are simply running Plasma system settings 5 as root,

sudo systemsettings5
if you have also installed these packages,
sudo apt install -y sddm systemsettings sddm-kde-config
The best UX within SDDM is also to also install Plasma,
sudo apt install -y openbox-kde-session
