As the title says, is it possible to get the Lock Screen background to display other than the current desktop?
Ideally I'd like to run a cron script to change the displayed Lock Screen BG depending on time of day, which is simple enough IF I can get the Lock Screen to load from a specified file.
Looking in
/etc/lightdm/slick-greeter.conf
there is a line:
Code: Select all
[Greeter]
background=/usr/share/backgrounds/mybackground.jpg
PS. Even the initial login background after a reboot is the last session backdrop that was used. WTH?
/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d
contains:
Code: Select all
[greeter]
background=/usr/share/backgrounds/linuxmint/default_background.jpg
Looking at logs,
/var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log
contains:
Code: Select all
[+0.00s] DEBUG: settings.vala:155: Overriding dconf setting for background with /usr/share/backgrounds/mybackground.jpg

, /usr/share/backgrounds/mybackground.jpg is never shown.Am I just chasing my own tail here? Ummm... Help?
