            anyone tried to change the background image when using
            lightdm? Using the 'background' option in the
            lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf file is not giving the desired
            output.

            
            Instead of the image, only a black background shows up. Is
            anyone else seeing this?

        Look like the background image has to be in the right format
      

        file
          /usr/share/backgrounds/spherical-cow/default/standard/spherical-cow.png 
        /usr/share/backgrounds/spherical-cow/default/standard/spherical-cow.png:
          PNG image data, 2048 x 1536, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced
        

          it has to be ' 8-bit/color RGBA', using a .jpg or a
          8-bit/color RGB .png gives you a black or red background.
        

        Try opening your background image in
          gimp and select 'Layer -> Transparancy -> Add Alpha
          Channel' and export it to a .png
        

        copy the .png to
          /usr/share/backgrounds/ and edit
          /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf to point to the .png
        

          then it should work

    Thanks a lot, Tim. I will try that and see it that works with the
    image I have.
