PS: I don't use Ubuntu MATE anymore (switched to XFCE), so if my script doesn't work anymore, feel free to update it if you can figure what needs to be changed but I won't update it myself.Mr. I guess it would need to be patched and maintained for Ubuntu MATE specifically. So, mate-settings-daemon would need to be updated to "plug" into Accountsservice or whatever but IIRC, since it's specific to Ubuntu, it's out of the scope of the MATE project and won't be implemented. Not sure what monitors background changes on XFCE. I think on Unity it was gnome-settings-daemon that was patched to do the same behaviour (since Ubuntu moved to GNOME 3, LightDM has been replaced by GDM, so I don't think the feature exists anymore). ![]() LightDM is actually looking at a file (through Accountsservice) and my script monitors the changes in the background through dbus/dconf to update said file.įrom what I understood when looking into this, it's pretty specific to Ubuntu (and derivatives like Mint). It's been a long time since I've done that script. This may be some quirk with arctica but in general, with any greeter, the 'use user background' option even when set, is not honored in MATE. With arctica-greeter however, a file already exists ( /etc/lightdm//nf) which does not get updated with changes made using dconf-editor! So now, the dconf settings have my custom changes but the conf file only has the defaults, with the behavior of lightdm guided by default file. If we use 'lightdm-settings' (login window) for slick-greeter or 'lightdm gtk+ settings' for lightdm-gtk-greeter, the changes made creates a. It overrides that entry with its own defaults. Fixed: Lock screen wallpaper not changing. In fact, I would say it is worse than slick-greeter in that, the background value set in accountsservice user file is not used.

After reading your msg, I reverted back to arctica-greeter. Had changed to it for experimenting and did not know about this dconf thing). desktop in /etc/xdg/autostart if you used the previous at the time of writing, I was using slick-greeter. Before installing it, delete the script in /usr/bin and the. It’s probably badly made and might trigger Lintian errors but it works. I’ve put a deb on a Dropbox account if you want to install/uninstall it easily: SetBackgroundFile string:"$USERBACKGROUND" # in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/$USER New version of my script to be compatible with the new way LightDM handles user backgrounds starting with Ubuntu MATE 18.04: #!/bin/bash The command now removes the first and last characters (the quotes) rather than quotes in the path. As for UM 17.10, it seems that bash changed the gsettings output to being between double quotes instead of single ones. The change is in the line that sets the USERBACKGROUND variable: it would remove single quotes in the whole path and thus wouldn’t work with wallpapers that have one. Here is a small update (that would also fix another issue specific to Ubuntu MATE 17.10): #!/bin/bashĮxport USERBACKGROUND=`gsettings get picture-filename | tail -c +2 | head -c -2`ĭbus-send -system -type=method_call -print-reply -dest= /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User`id -u` .SetBackgroundFile string:"$USERBACKGROUND"ĭbus-monitor -profile "type='signal',interface='ca.',path='/ca/desrt/dconf/Writer/user',arg0path='/org/mate/desktop/background/'" | The new Ubuntu 21.10 default wallpaper has landed in the daily builds. ![]() 12 January 2022 Comment First Look: Ubuntu 21.10’s New Wallpaper is Revealed Ubuntu 21.10 is getting closer to release, which means it's time for updated artwork.
