FYI for anyone else who comes across this bug report, I was able to get around the issue in regular Ubuntu 14.04 by overwriting /usr/share/icons/gnome/256x256/status/avatar-default.png with my desired .png (the greeter even resized it properly). You have to run 'gtk- update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/gnome' as root after the change and make sure the new /usr/share/icons/gnome/icon-theme.cache file has 644 permissions.
Do this at your own risk. I don't know where else that avatar- default.png file is used. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1317236 Title: user supplied default-user-image does not display properly in lightdm- gtk-greeter To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm-gtk-greeter/+bug/1317236/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
