Background setting ignored in breeze theme #350
Comments
Since user settings in theme.conf.user can override the background with an invalid image that will fail to load, SDDM sets the defaultBackground to the background from theme.conf. Could you please:

@sudhirkhanger the greeter runs with the sddm user and for security reasons it doesn't have access to user's home. Move the wallpaper to a system wide path such as /usr/share/wallpapers and change the path on theme.conf.user |
If there is no reasonable way to get it done then either this feature should be removed or user be warned that action they performed is not going to change anything but just give false impression of change. |
I do understand the reasons it runs under sddm user and does not have access to the file. And i also agree that you should not manually take care of this(if so, would be good to have at least a comment in the conf file about the access). So if you configure it via gui it should copy it somewhere for you - so or so you do this with root privileges. |
IMHO, we should have the following directories for those kind of things:
When selecting a custom background, the image should be moved to |
That sounds reasonable. |
I have filed a bug report against sddm_kcm. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356531 |

Still happens on KDE 5.11.2. It might be marked as fixed, but the issue is still there. |
On kubuntu 18.04.2 LTS I am able to set the wallpaper by ignoring the SSDM configuration pane and setting the wallpaper up through the |
I use the breeze theme with custom background.
If I try it with sddm-greeter --test-mode --theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/ the correct background is shown. But if I restart the computer the theme default background image is shown.
In the theme dir i have 2 conf files: theme.conf and theme.conf.user. Theme conf contains default background setting, theme.conf.user contains changed background setting.
To me it seems like sddm problem.
Thanks!
