Hi,

How to change login background (gdm/gnome) on Leap 15.1

I have tried things at https://help.gnome.org/admin//system-admin-guide/3.10/login-background.html.en and https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=197036 but does not work.

The procedure in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=197036 works for Leap 42.3 but not Leap 15.1

Thanks,
Srikanth.K

I have resolved this issue by doing below

I have created gdm.d directory under /etc/dconf/db and file 01-login-background

localhost:/etc/dconf/db/gdm.d # cat 01-login-background
[org/gnome/desktop/background/[b]lockdialog]
picture-uri=‘file:///usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/background.png’

localhost:/etc/dconf/db/gdm.d # cd …/…/profile/
localhost:/etc/dconf/profile # cat gdm
user-db:user
system-db:gdm
file-db:/usr/share/gdm/greeter-dconf-defaults

localhost:/etc/dconf/profile #

ran dconf update after above.
