It just displays the default Ubuntu background instead of the one I set. I didn't have the issue with 17.10 before upgrading.



Does anyone have an idea how to fix that?

          I had the same problem, and ultimately found the answer here:-
          Unity greeter background not changing for users automatically after upgrade
          This was actually an old post for 12.04 and I used dconf-editor to make the changes,rather than gsettings set, but the gist of it is:-
          com.canonical.unity-greeter draw-user-backgrounds should be set to true (which it was on my setup)
          gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.background active should be set to true (it was set to false on my setup)
          Please note that I had to do this for all of the users on the PC. Does anyone know if it is possible to set this for all users as a default?
          Anyway, hope this helps :-)
