Great program that I use to bring uniformity to the log-in screen and my desktop. Should be part of the default Ubuntu installation.
Doesn’t work for me. The image I pick gets reset to an empty file.jpg in my user settings. Now I have a black login screen, not very cool
Same here. How can this bug be fixed?
I believe that this program does not work if the Home folder is encrypted, maybe that’s the problem
Tried to download your program, but I keep getting the message
“Unable to locate package simple-lightdm-manager”
And the repository does show up in my sources list.
I even tried rebooting, the familiar Windows cure-all, but I still get the same message.
I had found a workaround for the drawback of this program with ecryptfs, whilst not using the program, first, you have to open up a gksudo session of Nautilus to copy the image to a program OUTSIDE of the home folder, such as /usr/share/backgrounds , the you have to edit the lightdm config file to point to the file you just copied/moved, I’m not gonna explain it when OMG! Ubuntu explains it better here: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/tool-change-lightdm-wallpaper-ubuntu-11-10/ just remember to point it to the image file you added like i said, and you can’t just open a gksudo session of gedit from within the gksudo session of nautilus, doesn’t work like that.
that Windows cure-all doesn’t usually work outside windows, so if you do that, don’t usually expect it to work. just a tip.
You most likely need to update your repository after you add the ppa.
So try “sudo apt-get update”, then run the last two commands.
