    Found a per user setting : launch dconf-editor then untick com.canonical.unity-greeter draw-user-backgrounds.

    For a system wide setting the way is the same as for disabling greeter to use wallpapers and setting a common one from /usr/share/backgrounds:

    Set a background with Ubuntu-tweak or

    sudo -i
su lightdm -s /bin/bash
gsettings set com.canonical.unity-greeter background '/usr/share/backgrounds/MyTrusty.jpg'
gsettings set com.canonical.unity-greeter draw-user-backgrounds 'false'

  2. If you mean the Login Screen you can change it for example with help of Ubuntu-Tweak.

    1. Install:

      sudo apt-add-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak

    2. Open Ubuntu-Tweak from Dash

    3. Navigate to Tweaks > Login Settings
    4. Click unlock and enter your sudo password
    5. Set desired background image
