Hello,
how can I change the GDM background in Trisquel 5.5 Brigantia ?

Thank you for replying.
I already tried the webupd8 article and I was not successful.
I'm getting "bash: gsettings: command not found".

That's in package libglib2.0-bin
The GDM binary seems to be running as root user so perhaps if one runs gnome-control-center using gksudo the settings can be changed. Didn't try it.
(I autologin myself.)

Run this:
sudo cp -t /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/
/usr/share/applications/gnome-control-center.desktop
Log out. You will then get the Gnome Control Center (System Settings)
screen during GDM. You can change the background with that. Note that
the GDM user cannot access files in /home, so you should copy the
image(s) to /usr/share/backgrounds.
Then you can remove the Settings screen with:
sudo rm /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-control-center.desktop
You can do a "ln -s" instead, but I have those specific commands in a
file which I run when I want to change my GDM background.

Thank you for replying, I just tried your solution but the only thing I was able to change is the window manager theme on gnome-control-center;
in the gdm-simple-greeter.schemas the background is active, so, any idea ?

Sorry that it did not work. That is exactly what I used in the past. But
I tested it now and it does not allow me to change it any more. I will
try to find out why, but I would guess that something changed since I
last used it.

I finally get around and did it, it's a dirty solution but it worked.
Before I go any further I must say that I don't have the Trisquel meta-package installed so this might not work for everyone.
I did like this:
$ sudo su # su - gdm -s /bin/bash # GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri
I got 'file:///usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png'; then I just:
# cd /usr/share/backgrounds/ # ln custom.png warty-final-ubuntu.png
