LightDM Greeter problems

[Qnth]

Hi
I have a problem with 16.04. When I’m logging in to my computer, the background in LightDM Greeter is just blank white until the moment when I log in, then for a second or so it turns to the background image I’ve selected in the settings. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Hi @Qnth,

have you run all updates?:

Ubuntu Mate Update Guide

These are my own setting preferences, use at your own risk!. AN IMPORTANT NOTE FOR LINUX BEGINNERS. WHEN YOU ARE IN RECOVERY MODE, THE KEYBOARD DEFAULTS TO US ENGLISH, IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER LANGUAGE KEYBOARD OTHER THAN US ENGLISH, WHEN YOU TYPE "Y" (FOR "YES"), IT MIGHT SHOW UP AS A DIFFERENT LETTER, ON MY KEYBOARD I MUST PRESS THE "Z" KEY WHICH EQUATES TO "Y" AS I HAVE A GERMAN KEYBOARD, JUST PRESS "BACKSPACE" AND HIT A DIFFERENT KEY UNTIL YOU SEE THE "Y" SHOW UP!.

@wolfman Hello,
Yes, I believe so. Going through that guide I find no updates available on my system. I’ve had this problem for a while now actually, I updated from 14.04 a while back, and after that upgrade the problem appeared. I’ve even tried changing the background from the multihead setup -tool, but to no avail. It’s not really a huge problem for me, as I rarely reboot or log out, but it’s annoying still.
