[03:11] <mikefeign> hello, I love Ubuntu mate on Linux Mint, it works perfectly fine even in VirtualBox
[03:12] <mikefeign> connecting using Hexchat - pre-installed
[17:28] <finalspacevoid> does anybody know why lightdm isnt showing my wallpaper? its always on the ubuntu mate wallpaper
[18:01] <Mekaneck> finalspacevoid: you need to put it in /usr/share/backgrounds and then load it from there
[18:01] <Mekaneck> always been that way
[18:10] <finalspacevoid> thx Mekaneck! by load it from there what do you mean exactly? is there a conf i need to edit?
[18:10] <Mekaneck> finalspacevoid: iirc there's a lightdm greeter settings app
[18:11] <Mekaneck> if not you can install it
[18:12] <Mekaneck> and from there you should be able to change the wallpaper
[18:14] <Mekaneck> if it isn't there simply sudo apt install lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings
[18:14] <finalspacevoid> will changing it here https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/how-do-i-change-login-screen-wallpaper-in-ubuntu-21-04/23996/2 do the same thing as the settings app? will it persist across upgrades etc?
[18:16] <Mekaneck> been too long since the last time i used mate, best to ask on the forum then to make sure
[18:16] <finalspacevoid> ok thx for your help, i might just get the settings app ;-)
[18:17] <Mekaneck> no problem :)
[18:18] <finalspacevoid> may i ask what desktop youre using right now if not mate?
[18:20] <Mekaneck> on one laptop and pi 4 main ubuntu, on another laptop kubuntu and another ssd on the pi 4 with Manjaro KDE Plasma
[18:20] <Mekaneck> could change again if i get bored and want to try something else
[18:21] <Mekaneck> but currently it's KDE Plasma with Manjaro as daily driver on the Pi
