System Settings should be using a background file location that the greeter can read, not a location inside the user's directory. This is what the XDG_GREETER_DATA_DIR variable is for. It's a folder where the user can share larger files with the greeter.
I fixed telephony-service to use that folder for avatars, but I overlooked the background file use case when splitting the greeter, sorry. ** Branch linked: lp:~mterry/ubuntu-system-settings/split-bg ** Package changed: unity8 (Ubuntu) => ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1325505 Title: [regression][#60] cannot change greeter's background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-system-settings/+bug/1325505/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
