Unable to change avatar about lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious HOT 16 CLOSED

Hey thanks for opening an issue! Uhm can you check your accounts list(user selection) if your profile has an image?

from lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious.

It doesn't.

from lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious.

Weird. Lightdm is responsible for providing the information needed and the theme just "fetches" it so I don't think the theme's the issue here. I also cannot reproduced this. Could you please give me more information? Lightdm and lightdm-webkit2-greeter version? Distro you're using? And please try to use a different image. I also cannot update my profile once because the image is unsupported. Please try using any of the example profile pics in `assets/profiles/.

from lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious.

Ah sorry I completely forgot about that, my system is as follows:

• Distro: Manjaro x86_64
• Kernel: 5.4.62-1
• Display Manager: lightdm 1:1.30.0-4
• Greeter: lightdm-webkit2-greeter 2.2.5-3
• Theme: lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious 2.0.1-1 (AUR)

Using mugshot to pick an avatar from /usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/glorious/assets/profiles didn't work it still showed the default avatar.svg as an avatar.

What is the output of feh "/var/lib/AccountsService/icons/$(whoami)"? And feh ~/.face?

from lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious.

The output of sudo feh "/var/lib/AccountsService/icons/$(whoami)" is my profile picture, the one I wanted to be, and so is for feh ~/.face

from lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious.

Hmm. Now, please run lightdm-webkit2-greeter from your terminal, and assuming debug_mode is enabled in your lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf, right click then inspect element. Go to console then run console.log(lightdm.users);. It should return the users object with its properties.

from lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious.

Interesting it says undefined when asked for user. I've searched archwiki for this but didn't found anything, it's strange considering I'm logging into my account.

from lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious.

It has a value. Look at the output below the console.log. Press the arrow to show the object properties. It is undefined because the command runs without a problem.

from lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious.

Oh you're right, here's the output:

It seems like it's not fetching the image, because the real name matches the one I'm using in mugshot due to the capital U in Undercover, while my username is only undercover.

from lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious.

It seems like it's not fetching the image

Yeah. The image property is null. I can safely say that the theme's not the problem here but the lightdm cannot detect your image.

from lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious.

Alright, I'll look into it, I already did chmod 755 ~/.face to ensure that it was readable by all, even when I'm not logged in (which is always the case of course) and I also ran sudo mugshot just to see if it works but it doesn't.

I'm closing this issue then, if I can't find a fix for it I just change the default avatar.svg or something.

from lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious.

It's really weird that lightdm can't detect it tho. Also, check your profile image type using file /var/lib/AccountsService/icons/$(whoami). The output should be PNG image data, 200 x 200, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced.

I'm closing this issue then, if I can't find a fix for it I just change the default avatar.svg or something.

Yeah I think that's a quick fix for now.

from lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious.

Found a fix, apparently something happened and /var/lib/AccountsService/icons/undercover had the wrong permission scheme, reading wasn't allowed by other users, after doing sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/AccountsService/icons/undercover I can now read the file, because it's owned by root, and it shows up in the display manager.

The issue is now officially closed.
Thanks for the help!

from lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious.

Nice! Good job! Thanks for the info! And no problem!

from lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious.

I'm on the same issue. Strangely, when running lightdm-webkit2-greeter from an active (logged in) session, I can successfully see my profile image (png), mugshot has it, but when in the "real" greeter I see the default svg. I've owned the image, set it to 755 and still no chance....any ideas? console.log(...) also returns the correct image path.

UPDATE:

ok - my issue was that the value for user_image inside /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf was pointing to /home/korny/myImage.png which was said to not be readable by lightdm-webkit2-greeter
