As root, enter the following into your shell:
gconftool-2 --direct \
--config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
--type string \
--set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename some_picture_filename.png
Of course you will need to change the bit in red, "some_picture_filename.png" to the one that you want as your background image on the login screen.
It seems that the method for doing this has been evolving. What worked even six months ago does not appear to work now. As of this writing, I am using Gnome 2.30.0 with OpenSUSE. I found the information here.
Hi.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog by googling "Go vs D". In August, you wrote you want to learn one of these languages. Out of curiosity, did you? If so, which?
Sincerely,
A D-learner :)
Hi nulloid,
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I never dove into either one, and I did not make my final decision yet either. I ended up getting side tracked with some other things I was working on.
