Ubuntu Linux allows users to add, change and remove pictures from their accounts. Photos you add to your profile are associated with your account and what the account represents. You can add pictures to your profile to distinguish and identify you on the login screen from other accounts. You can change the picture to any already included in Ubuntu or add a unique picture of you from your camera or phone. When setting up an account image, you can take and use pictures that you snap from your laptop camera or download and import pictures from anywhere. Once you add a picture, you should see the new image on the login screen to identify your account. By default, if you don’t add an image to your account profile, a black image space will be added and left blank. All users will have the same image, except for unique account names.
