Auto deploy background image using Puppet onto 1804

Asked by ian

Hi

I would like to auto deploy a particular background image to 18.04 machines using puppet to make autoinstalled machines all look the same

I cannot seem to find where this (and other settings ) config is stored

Could someone please point me at the location of the config file or binary where these setttings are saved please

It would be most appreciated

Kind Regards
Ian

I followed it step by step and the only change I made was the location of the image file
