Comment 2 for bug 1460303

Hi,

I reinstalled fresh the packages "lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings", removed nodm, after reboot, the login screen is plain black as it is expected to be, and the file "/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf" looks this way:
*****
# LightDM GTK+ Configuration
# Available configuration options listed below.
#
# Appearance:
# theme-name = GTK+ theme to use

background=/usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png
theme-name=Ambiance
icon-theme-name=LoginIcons
font-name=Ubuntu 11
xft-antialias=true
xft-dpi=96
xft-hintstyle=slight
xft-rgba=rgb
show-indicators=~host;~spacer;~session;~language;~a11y;~clock;~power;
show-clock=true
clock-format=%d %b, %H:%M

*****

Now I want it to use /usr/share/bento/backgrounds/background.jpg (which is in my system) and use Clearlooks-Phenix theme (also in my system). So I will try to set it up with lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings.

lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf file after using lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings:
*****
[greeter]
background = /usr/share/bento/backgrounds/background.jpg
theme-name = Clearlooks-Phenix
icon-theme-name = LoginIcons
font-name = Ubuntu 11
xft-antialias = true
xft-dpi = 96
xft-hintstyle = hintnone
xft-rgba = rgb
show-indicators = ~host;~spacer;~session;~language;~a11y;~clock;~power;
show-clock = true
clock-format = %d %b, %H:%M

*****
