Personally, I haven't been affected by this bug anymore. (Also, I stopped having my HOME encrypted, and now I use full disk encryption, which is a better solution anyhow)
Now, when you right click on an image and "Set as wallpaper", it'll get copied to ~/Pictures/Wallpapers this folder is world readable, so if the issue was with the folder, it's now solved. The file itself still retains its permissions, but I think this is on purpose. If a custom wallpaper is added with the + button inside the control panel, the picture is not copied, so you'd need to workaround that manually. I think all of this might still be an issue if the HOME is encrypted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/928553 Title: Non-default wallpapers are not readable by Unity-Greeter To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/928553/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
