Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I use debian Bookworm,
I added :
user-background = true
to /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
* What was the outcome of this action?
No user background displayed on login screen
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expect the user background to be displayed on the login screen
* Walkaround
after further analysis, lightdm failed to display the background because
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.background doesn't exist
So i install gdm3 but i keep lightdm as my dm.
and it works but cause so trouble in xfce because of many package such as
keyboard settings and so on were also installed as a part of gdm3 !!
* Excpected solution
It would be nice that the lightdm package contain all nessessary dependencies
in order to have its features working fine.
