How to set each workspace with different wallpaper?
Env: Lenny LXDE
[Question]
By (first step) doing: pcmanfm --set-wallpaper /point-to-new-wallpaper, it change the configuration to the new wallpaper, then, my question is: What is the most correct way to "refresh the desktop screen" (by command line) so that the new wallpaper is then displayed.
And by (second step) doing: lxsession-logout, and choosing 'Logout', the new wallpaper is displayed after the new login. No problem here. Is there a (most correct) way to completely change the picture and activate it by command line (without user intervention)?
I'm running Xfce 4.6.1 and xfdesktop 4.6.1.1 (or so aptitude said). When I use 'None' image option - just colour - I get the colour I ask for but if I change that to either 'Single image' or 'Image list' then both the image and the background colour are made greyscale.
I have tried looking through all the options I could find to do with Xfce and searching Google but I don't know how to phrase it as my searches tend to bring up black and white wallpapers.
Running X as a different user on the same computer does not cause the same problem which makes me think it might be cause by a user setting though I spent a long time with a black and white wallpaper and do not know when the issue first arose.
I have been an Ubuntu user for the past two years and have recently made the switch to Debian, so while not new to GNU/Linux or Debian-like distributions I am still learning on many fronts. Installing squeeze directly caused issues with my Wi-Fi for some reason, so I installed lenny and performed aptitude safe-upgrade (full-upgrade kept breaking the system), and took care of stray packages manually to get a working squeeze system. My desktop environment of choice is Xfce, using XDM.
Ever since the upgrade, both the login prompt and the actual desktop have had a black background with no icons or right-click menu. I am guessing that the issue is a daemon that should be running but isn't, although I have no idea where to begin troubleshooting the issue, which is why I came here. I've uploaded at of my desktop here Right-clicking in the black space doesn't do anything, and changing my wallpaper settings is ineffective.It's not a huge problem for me, as everything else in the system appears to work, but I would like to figure out what the problem is, fix it, and maybe learn something about Debian in the process.
In my Gnome 2.32.1 running in opensuse 11.4, when I go to select wallpaper for my desktop, one of the options is a space-based slideshow. The files reside in /usr/share/backgrounds/cosmos. When I go there, there are the jpegs with an xml file that seems to controle the slideshow. Is there some kind of utility for creating this xml file? To create one manually, especially with a lot of pics, seems kinda cumbersome.

I think the theme is called Orbit Fun? I came to this forum instead of aptosid's forum to learn how to install KDM themes the Debian way using a terminal and not the KDE-Look download way. KDE-Look does not have the official Squeeze theme at this time, and I generally do not like the aptosid artwork, but I really like sid.
When I google screenshots of Linux I often see that people have a clock directly on their desktop. How is this done?
I'm running Xfce on a Wheezy vm, but without xfce4-panel, so having a clock/date right on the wallpaper/desktop would be great..I don't want a clock in a window.
so, is there an app that runs or whatever to randomly change wallpaper at given intervals? I tried googling and came up empty

Which directory/folder holds the wallpaper files?
So here is my GNOME background config file: less .gconf/desktop/gnome/background/%gconf.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>

View 2 Replies View RelatedTrying Ubuntu yet again (seems to occur every 6 months or so!)
I've installed Natty, and wasn't so keen on Unity so I decided to try Gnome 3. Not sure if I prefer it either but better than unity I think so giving it a go.
Anyway, my problem is that I don't have a wallpaper and changing it doesn't have any effect, it's just a solid colour.
At first I didn't have a desktop at all but changing a setting in the gnome 3 tweak tool (Have file manager handle the desktop > on) fixed that. Then I went to install nautilus elementary but that messed up my wallpaper, hence it's now blank. I've reverted to Nautilus now but I'm not sure elementary actually worked as it didn't look any different.
I just wrote a little script to help anyone out if they want to do this. Just download loginWallpaper.sh open your terminal and cd to the download directory run
Code:
sudo chmod 744 loginWallpaper
then run
Code:
./loginWallpaper.sh
and follow the prompts Make sure the pic you want to use is a .JPG and is in your home directory. Choose Option 1 on your first run. It will move the pic to the proper directory on the system and will open the Gnome Appearance Preferences at the log-in screen. After you run Option 1 logout, goto Background then Add button. Select your wallpaper and "BOOM" it changes. Log back in and run the script again
Code:
./loginWallpaper.sh
only use Option 2 to keep the Gnome Appearance Preferences from opening again.
Can I set up a different wallpaper for each my workspace?
I have now 4 workspace in ubuntu 10.10
and also I want to know how to check the time that how long I am using my computer,means the boot up/starting time till now,how much time is passed since I have started my computer.
In GNOME one can write an XML document telling the system when to change between various files to automatically change the desktop wallpaper, and then set that XML document as the wallpaper.
I have three I like to switch between, containing the schedules and playoff brackets of my favorite sports teams.
I've been using LXDE far more than I've been using GNOME these days, but LXDE won't let me set the XML as the wallpaper like GNOME does.
So after searching around a bit I thought I'd create a cronjob that would change the wallpaper every 20 minutes.
So I set up this
Code:
But it didn't do what I thought it would in changing my wallpaper automatically.
Since I had never used cronjobs before I thought I was doing something wrong in how I had it set up. Various tries to no avail.
But then I have the real problem none of the various I've treid of simply running pcmanfm --set-wallpaper or pcmanfm -w (the --help says they do the same thing) actually do anything. I've tried both with and without.
I have installed samba 3.x on centos 5.x i wan to set default wallpaper for the users in my domain how it can be done.
