Bodhi 5.0 - Add a user picture/avatar
 

Hello,

This is my first post. Not an especially pressing problem, but I like having a pic when I log in, rather than the really boring gray silhouette. And with most distros, this is easy to find. Not Bodhi. Is there a way to do it, or it it just not a feature.

Thanks,
CD

Hello there

The solution is very easy. Rename your avatar picture to name .face (without extension) and save it in your home folder.

Enjoy :)

STefan,

Thanks! Yes, that was way too easy. Is this true in general for other distros?

Just answered my own question, I think. Both Mint and Lubuntu (which share a laptop with Bodhi) have my avatar as .face file in my home folder.

I think this method is related to lightdm. So it depends...
