Hi, I'm trying to update my gdm3 login screen background.
I followed the instructions here: https://wiki.debian.org/GDM : Customizing the GDM appearance GDM v3.0+ allows for some basic customization, such as changing the logo icon, display background, and GTK theme. To do so: Edit /etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults as root Uncomment and/or modify the desired settings Save and close the editor Finally, run as root: dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 The command 'dpkg-reconfigure gdm3' will cause gdm to reload its configuration upon the next logout or reboot. Note: When changing the background image, the target file must be world-readable. But this did not work, I still have the default background. Here's my greeter.dconf-defaults (other changes here have been picked up): aclark@pleco 0 /etc/gdm3 $ egrep -v '(^#|^$)' greeter.dconf-defaults [org/gnome/desktop/interface] [org/gnome/desktop/background] picture-uri='file:///usr/share/backgrounds/TNAwallpaper4K.jpg' picture-options='zoom' [org/gnome/login-screen] logo='/usr/share/images/vendor-logos/logo-text-version-128.png' disable-user-list=true [org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power] The background exists and is world readable: aclark@pleco 0 /etc/gdm3 $ ls -l /usr/share/backgrounds/TNAwallpaper4K.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2310969 Apr 3 10:34 /usr/share/backgrounds/TNAwallpaper4K.jpg Running testing: aclark@pleco 0 /etc/gdm3 $ cat /etc/debian_version buster/sid Checking gdm3 is actually running, not light dm or something: aclark@pleco 0 /etc/gdm3 $ ps -ef | grep '[g]dm3' root 942 1 0 11:24 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/gdm3 aclark 2779 2756 0 12:05 tty2 00:00:00 /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session /usr/bin/gnome-session gdm3 version: aclark@pleco 0 /etc/gdm3 $ dpkg -l gdm3 Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-==============-============-============-================================= ii gdm3 3.30.2-3 amd64 GNOME Display Manager What am I missing? -- Cheers, Andrew.
