I have now tried to copy an image to the /usr/share/backgrounds folder and set the same owner and permissions and then set it as background. It does not show it as my background in lightdm. When I choose the picture I have to choose it under the "Pictures Folder" in the drop down list. It does not exists under"Wallpapers" like all the other pictures in the /usr/share/backgrounds folder.
So the bug seems to be that lightdm will only display backgrounds when it's part of the Wallpapers list not necessarily in the right folder on the PC. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/926726 Title: Unity greeter no longer shows user backgrounds, worked 2 weeks ago To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-greeter/+bug/926726/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
