background-image not working on multiple monitors

Open Babbie opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

As the title states, background-image seems to be broken (again?) on multiple monitors. If I connect only one monitor, it works fine, otherwise no background image is shown at all, just the background color.

It might be worth mentioning that both of my monitors are 1920x1080, as is the background image, and both screens show the password prompt. The logs state no warnings. I am on the very latest commit.

Can you show me your configuration value for background-image? Does the image live somewhere that lightdm can read? Can you try putting it in /etc/lightdm and try surrounding the value with quotes?

Don't know if this is related, but I also have an issue where I can't see a background-image on a second monitor. I've even added the show-image-on-all-monitors = true to the config, but it doesn't help. Any ideas?

Can you try putting the image in /etc/lightdm and set the owner/group to lightdm or give others read permissions on the file?

None of that worked unfortunately :/
