The technique you followed has worked for most people:
However it didn’t work for everyone and there is a lesser known technique in the same thread where they simply copy over the pre-packaged image filename with a new image:
I tried all of those and none worked. This does, for sure:
As root user, just copy your_image.png to /usr/share/backgrounds and
….# cd /usr/share/backgrounds # cp warty-final-ubuntu.png warty-final-ubuntu.png.stock # rm warty-final-ubuntu.png # ln -s your_image.png warty-final-ubuntu.png # reboot…where your_image.png is the name of the actual image you want to
display. The warty one is big: 4096 x 2304. I matched mine to the same
size.
