no user avatar at login screen

#1 Post by ds1121 »

Hi
newb here - installed MX 21 and love it! Thank you!

Anyway, at the login screen I can see the admin's avatar but not the user's avatar. The user is 5 years old and a little disappointed so I hope you can help please. :) We selected one of the avatars from the list and it is showing as selected in System settings > 'manage users'.

Many thanks

DS

You can select any photo and set it as the icon. You can resize it using Gimp so you can use it as an avatar.
I am command line illiterate. :confused: I copy & paste to the terminal. Liars, Wiseguys, Trolls, and those without manners will be added to my ignore list. :mad:

Ah yes thanks, the selectable avatar images in 'manage users' do not seem to work but using any reasonably-sized png from elsewhere does.
