slick-greeter doesn't set a default in /etc/lightdm/slick-greeter.conf it's commented out $ cat /etc/lightdm/slick-greeter.conf |grep default.png #background=/usr/share/backgrounds/default.png Can you post rpm -qa slick-greeter\* Here it is: rpm -qa slick-greeter\* slick-greeter-mate-2.0.9-2.fc42.noarch slick-greeter-2.0.9-2.fc42.x86_64 Did'nt notice this slick-greeter-mate, so maybe that's the problem. [x.dm.slick-greeter] background='/usr/share/backgrounds/default.png' background-color='#202020' logo='/usr/share/pixmaps/system-logo-white.png' ls /usr/share/backgrounds budgie default-dark.jxl default.xml f40 f42 mate cosmos default.jxl f39 f41 images sway I'm not keen to alter the slick-greeter-mate default as it will prevent me from merging rawhide branch into <= f41 branches. The mate maintainer can either submit a pull request to fix this and include conditionals to make the change apply to f42+ or move the mate override to another mate package. The final f42 freeze starts on 01/04/25 show any change will probably need a freeze exemption to be included in the f42 release. It fixes the missing background, not immediately but after glib-compile-schemas. Thanks for looking into it! I'm just an user, hope that you can forward it to the proper maintainer. I added the mate maintainer to the 'cc list' last week, hopefully he will address the issue soon. *** Bug 2362756 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This issue persist in Fedora 43. The fix is quite easy, simply add: background=/usr/share/backgrounds/default.jxl Under "[Greeter]" section in /etc/lightdm/slick-greeter.conf I don't intend to address this, if the mate maintainer doesn't submit a PR I will drop mate support from slick-greeter. I am dropping mate support for the f45 release due to the mate maintainers inaction. FEDORA-2026-9327d72abe (slick-greeter-2.2.6-3.fc45) has been submitted as an update to Fedora 45. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-9327d72abe FEDORA-2026-9327d72abe (slick-greeter-2.2.6-3.fc45) has been pushed to the Fedora 45 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.
