draw-user-backgrounds entry needs to be defined #23

Closed oberon-manjaro closed 6 years ago

oberon-manjaro commented 6 years ago

As investigated here , Cinnamon will use the current desktop background for slick-greeter unless draw-user-backgrounds=false is explicitly defined in /etc/lightdm/slick-greeter.conf. Currently this settings isn't available in lightdm-settings dialog and needs to be added manually in an auto-created config file to make the background setting work and override user-background.

It appears somehow should_show_user_bg_switch isn't working properly or a different strategy will be needed. In my case on Manjarolinux I have no entry for 'user-background' while at the same time as explained above, I need the property defined in the config to stop slick-greeter from using Cinnamon's user background.

In slick-greeter x.dm.slick-greeter draw-user-backgrounds defaults to true and this setting is being respected in a Cinnamon environment, maybe depending on os-release...? Or maybe this is related to accountsservice version? On Archlinux based systems we are currently at v0.6.47

Aah. I see only now that this has already been addressed with https://github.com/linuxmint/lightdm-settings/commit/88fe0974aff7caddecd3701062922feac95ca722 Seems we are just waiting for a new release for this to be fixed...
