    I assume you mean the user picture/avatar? This is something I also wondered. LightDM search came up with this for Ubuntu/unity.

    Noted, and thanks, but no we won't restore avatar's to the login screen.

    Not that I'm surprised by the answer, Ubuntus history of removing user modification/interaction is long and dense. Nothing that have stopped Kubuntu/KDE from giving the users the power to change settings

    according to the LightDM man entry it indicate that it should be able to handle this with the accountsservice but I don't find anything on how to change this, or how to fetch the user picture.

    the config say (@ /etc/lightdm/users.conf )

    Code:
    # User accounts configuration
    #
    # NOTE: If you have AccountsService installed on your system, then LightDM will
    # use this instead and these settings will be ignored
    #
    # minimum-uid = Minimum UID required to be shown in greeter
    # hidden-users = Users that are not shown to the user
    # hidden-shells = Shells that indicate a user cannot login
    #
    [UserAccounts]
    minimum-uid=500
    hidden-users=nobody nobody4 noaccess
    hidden-shells=/bin/false /usr/sbin/nologin

    Any thoughts or solutions from KFN users much appreciated

      Changing the filename to ".face" worked. Upstream must have broken the search for both parts.
      KDE system settings > Account Details > Click to change your image

      The picture is copied to the ~/.face.icon. If you rename/copy it to the ~/.face the LightDM-KDE can use it.



      It is a hidden png image in your home directory (i.e mine /home/oneline/.face)

        Thank you Oneline! Now that you mention it, it rings a bell - I've seen that somewhere else, or here(?) but somehow forgot all about it.

        thanks again. I like LightDM

              Thanks from me as well. I can confirm that
              Code:
              cp ~/.face.icon ~/.face
              does the trick.

                    It might be preferable to create a symbolic link .face that points to .face.icon (rather than copying), as then lightdm user icon would be automatically updated if user image is changed in systemsettings (no need to copy again)

                    Code:
                    ln -s ~/.face.icon ~/.face

                      I like that. Sound recommendation.

                        +1 from me too, for the symbolic link solution.
                        Using the actual file (copying-renaming), turned the LightDM background-wallpaper, to bright white.
                        When changed to the symbolic link, returned the background to the original-default blueish image.
