Here is what worked in the past:

Code:

xhost +SI:localuser:lightdm
sudo su lightdm -s /bin/bash
dconf-editor

navigate to

com/canonical/unity-greeter

set draw-grid to false

This should remove it from the login screen.

As yourself:

Code:

dconf-editor

navigate to

com/canonical/unity-greeter

set draw-grid to false

This should remove it from the lockscreen.

CLI version:

Code:

sudo su lightdm
gsettings set com.canonical.unity-greeter draw-grid false

Code:

gsettings set com.canonical.unity-greeter draw-grid false
