The easiest method is to save your profile picture manually.



The steps are as follows:




  • Choose a picture you want to use.

  • Optionally you can create one - preferably with equal dimensions (a square).

  • Save the picture (in .PNG format) as ~/.face.

  2. Under System Tools > select LightDM GTK + Greeting Settings

  3. Click on the default avartar icon at the bottom of the popup window to choose:
