Solution 3:

Some notes about the tip. In my case, Ubuntu 19.04 on May 22, I need to use quotations on file name image. The image below is on the same folder than /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/Yaru/gnome-shell.css file.

#lockDialogGroup {
  background-image: url("ironman_login_wallpaper.jpg");
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;;
  background-position: center; }

Solution 4:

You can modify the file /etc/alternatives/gdm3.css also.
