Why is something so easy sometimes so difficult?
Method
1
Install Ubuntu Tweak. Ubuntu
Tweak will let you tweak many things including the login screen background.
Ubuntu Tweak
To install Ubuntu Tweak add the
third party repository to your list of repositories.
Go to System-Administration-Software
Sources, Third-Party Software tab, Add:
deb
http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu lucid-getdeb apps
Add the repository GPG key, open a
terminal window and type:
$ wget -q -O-
http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
Install ubuntu-tweak from the
command line.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak
Method
2
Copy your favorite background .jpg
file to /usr/share/backgrounds
$ sudo cp mypic.jpg /usr/share/backgrounds
|
|
$ sudo cp
/usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop
/usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow
|
Logout
You should see an “Appearance
Preferences” window, select the Add button and select the .jpg file that you
want for your login screen background. Close the window.
Appearance Preferences
Login again and remove the
gnome-appearance-properties.desktop file that you copied in the previous
step. This will prevent you from getting the appearance-properties
windows at every gdm login.
$ sudo rm
/usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop
Personally I prefer Method 2...
