HOWEVER, I have just cured it, I found where the stupid xfce background was located, /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce, deleted that folder, right clicked on the desktop and chose the same background that was already showing and finally it's showing correctly. After rebooting I switched it back on and rebooted and it's straight back to the XFCE background (which is not my desktop background or anything so WHERE is it getting this information?) and if I click "Guest Session" it shows the correct background, but going back to the user brings up that annoying blue mouse again.Ĭhanging the theme to aqua did NOTHING at all. Ok, so I CAN get the XFCE background to go, if I use the Admin>Login Window and turn off "Draw user backgrounds". If XFCE is added as another window manager, what does it use to change the login background and how do I set it back to whatever Cinnamon uses? I'm just going to reinstall from scratch for now, but I came across so many other people asking this question and not one answer has worked, I'm super curious how to actually fix it. I've spent more time trying to sort it out than it would have taken to just reinstall mint from scratch and update it and make the necessary grub change to fix the reboot/shutdown issue, but SURELY this should not be a difficult task? What is overriding it and why?Įdit: I used synaptic package manager and marked xfce 4 for complete removal, no change after reboot, marked everything with Cinnamon in the name for Reinstall and still no change after reboot. I went into synaptic and uninstalled XFCE 4 and rebooted and yet STILL it persists. I know it's stupid, but having changed back to cinnamon, the login screen still shows the blue xfce background with mouse, After googling it and going into "Login Window" it showed the correct background, so I decided to change it to one of the others (the XFCE one was nowhere to be found) and rebooted the machine. It was very quick, I logged out, changed to it and logged in, nothing to write home about in terms of performance increases so decided to go back to cinnamon. I installed XFCE 4 to have a peek at that without downloading a whole distro again. Hi again, and sorry again for my inability, however it would seem something simple is indeed far from it.
