2021-05-25 10:18:23 Jean-Baptiste Lallement description [Description] Customization of the greeter is a requirement from Corporate customers. Currently the background (plain color or image) of the greeter is hard coded in the style embedded in the theme. Customizing this background requires to extract the style sheet from gnome-shell gresource file, modify it manually, recompile and deploy the new gresource, and add an alternative to it. This feature adds 4 gsettings keys to make the background of the greeter configurable via gsettings. The default value defined the in the theme is used for keys that are not set. [Rationale] Corporate customers use LTS releases and ultimately this will be released for 20.04. This changeset needs to land in hirsute before it can be SRUd into prior Ubuntu LTS releases. So we would like to submit this FFe to get it into Hirsute first. [Risks] The changeset is minimal, isolated and can be easily reverted. In case of error in the code, GDM will fail to load and it will be immediately visible. [Build] Builds and tested successfully locally. Besides the updated JS is not compiled as part of build.

Boot a desktop session 2. Verify that the default aubergine background is displayed in the greeter. 3. Login as the administrator of the machine 4. Install systemd-container 5. Switch to the GDM user: $ sudo machinectl shell gdm@ /bin/bash 6. Apply a different background with the command: $ gsettings set com.ubuntu.login-screen background-picture-uri 'file:///usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png' 7. Logout 8. Verify that the image 'warty-final-ubuntu.png' is displayed as the background of the greeter. [Risks] The changeset is minimal, isolated and can be easily reverted.
