Updated to 21.10 — desktop still says 21.04

I just updated my Ubuntu 21.04 (running on Raspberry Pi 4) to 21.10. lsb_release -a shows 21.10 on the command line but the GUI desktop still says 21.04 in the bottom left corner.

As already told by Vanadium, you can change the wallpaper to wallpaper of Ubuntu 21.10.

You can change the wallpaper by:

First, install the lightdm greeter settings:

sudo apt install lightdm-gtk-greeter && sudo apt-get install lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings

Now set the lightdm login screen to lightdm-greeter:

echo [SeatDefaults] > /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
echo greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter >> /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Open the lightdm greeter settings app:

sudo lightdm-greeter-settings

From there, you can easily change the image by clicking on the image option.
