    Change profile picture?

    When I installed Xubuntu, I was asked if I wanted to take a picture (via built in web-cam) or select something else. I figured I would just continue on and change it after the installation. However, I can't for the life of me figure out how to change it. The only serch result came up with placing a picture in my home directory and naming it ".face." That didn't work. Any ideas?

    EDIT:

    Upon further exploration, I needed to remove the .jpg at the end of the file name. So, it needs to be just .face NOT .face.jpg.



    Fixed, ".face" version

    I think you have to name it ~/.face.

    Seems that you figured it out. Congratulations.

    Doesn't ~/ just indicate where to place the .face file? In other words, doesn't ~/ = my home/username folder? I mean, I don't know. I'm just asking. Like you said, I seem to have figured it out.
