@tagrain: I actually just created a directory in /usr/share (/usr/share/wallpapers) but then I got a little more creative
I went to /home and created a directory called /home/public Then I replaced the public folder in *my* Home folder with a symbolic link to the new one. That's honestly a bit overboard for a workaround, and plus you still can't select the photos from your home folder "/home/matt/Public/photo.jpg" doesn't work. You have to go "/home/public/photo.jpg" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/944862 Title: Non-default wallpaper does not display in lightdm with encrypted home directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/944862/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
