Login Screen

[gupti]

I have tried changing the login screen image by using Simple Lightdm Manager. It only gives me a black screen, so I uninstalled it and tried changing it manually with /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf , with no avail. Any ideas?

Can anyone post their non-edited "unity-greeter.conf" so we can compare it to mine?

FIXED: I compared it to the unity-greeter.conf of my laptop, and the image path was incorrect ( /etc/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png).

Point It towards a picture in your home folder. Bad permissions can cause the black screen
