The login screen runs as a different user, not as "user 1" or "user 2", so it can only display world-readable image files.
I wonder if you also need to: chmod 755 ~/Pictures to make the directory readable too. If you still have any problems then please run this on the file: stat YOURFILE > stat.txt and attach the file 'stat.txt' here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1884361 Title: User icon not updated in login screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1884361/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
