I am using Ubuntu 14.04 but installed xubuntu-desktop afterwards.

Now the login screen is very ugly:

  • The theme is not applied and I cannot change the background picture (only black one shown)
  • Only a grey login-box for username / password is displayed

Can you hint me how to solve this?

  • Is there a way to take a screenshot of the login-screen so I can show what is wrong?
  • I am not even sure which system is used for login - GDM or lightdm - how can I find out?

Any help is very much appreciated!

Thank you!

I was able to change my background image by the following:
sudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
Then add:
background=/full/path/to/your/photo.png
(It has to be png format.)
