This is a solution from a post by NoOp that I’ve used

Sorry, I should have given you instructions on how to modify if you'd
like from the suggested patch in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-gdm-themes/+bug/337109:

1. Open a terminal (this should be the Ubuntu theme:-)
Applications|Accessories|Terminal

2. From the terminal:

gksu gedit /usr/share/gdm/themes/HumanCircle/HumanCircle.xml

3. Look for these two lines in the file:

    <normal file="../Human/background.png"/>
and
    <normal file="../Human/ubuntu.png"/>

Modify them to:

    <normal file="../HumanList/background.png"/>
and
    <normal file="../HumanList/ubuntu.png"/>

4. Save the file & exit gedit.

You should no longer get the error on boot.
