OpenSUSE Install :: Set Up Different Backgrounds On Each Desktop?

Nov 17, 2009

I've installed 11.2 on a DELL Lattitude D610 lpatop.

Works - almost - perfectly.

A question: how can I change the background for an individual desktop ?

I've been Googl'ing it, but get different options for difference sub-versions.

Any time things appear to be going better, you have overlooked something.

Ubuntu :: Cycle Desktop Backgrounds In 11.04?

May 24, 2011

I just updated to 11.04, and noticed in the "Background" tab of the appearance app, that there was what looked like a default option to cycle a set of backgrounds. However, when I selected it, the only background that appeared was the first one in the series, and it never cycled.

1) Is cycling backgrounds possible?

2) If so, can I create my own series of them?

Ubuntu :: Desktop Backgrounds - Location Of Picture?

Jan 9, 2010

I understand the pictures are in usr/share/backgrounds. When you select a picture from the internet to be your desktop background (as I have) where does the physical picture go? It does not go into usr/share/backgrounds - where is it?

Ubuntu :: Desktop Backgrounds Pictures Overlap

Dec 3, 2010

I have been having issues with my desktop background pictures overlapping.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on a 2008 2.2ghz white macbook and outputting to a 27" LG monitor through the mini-dvi output. This issue occurred when I was running 10.04 as well.

I've tried editing xrandr:

Code:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
LVDS1 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 286mm x 179mm
1280x800 59.9 +
1024x768 60.0*

[Code].....

Debian Multimedia :: Desktop Backgrounds Have Smaller Copies On Top Of Themselves?

Apr 6, 2011

Difficult to describe, but basically the desktop background image has a slightly smaller copy of itself (roughly 70% of the original) overlayed in the upper-left hand corner, like a picture-in-picture type of effect. This occurs on both the login screen,d the wallpaper I have set under my account. It seems to be isolated to ONLY the wallpaper, and not affecting any icons or functionality of anything else that I've noticed. Logging out and rebooting have no effect on the issue.

Red Hat :: Unable To Select PNGs As Desktop Wallpaper - JPEG Backgrounds

Apr 21, 2010

I switched our main fileserver to new hardware running RHEL 4 Update 8 yesterday. Post the switch my users are finding that the text in the boxes on taskbars at the bottom of their desktop screens no longer truncates but spills over onto that of other boxes, making them extremely hard to decipher.

All our desktops are RHEL 4.8 too. Also, I'm only able to select PNGs as desktop wallpaper - JPEG backgrounds just appear as plain white when selected(!) Has anyone seen this before and knows of a fix?

OpenSUSE :: Visual Artifacts Added To Curser - Icons And Backgrounds In KDE And Gnome

Mar 20, 2011

With the installation of 11.4, my video driver changed over to the nouveau driver from the proprietary nVidia driver. Now I get a grid of vertical lines following my curser in both KDE and Gnome, a similar grid over icons and as background fill in KDE. In KDE the grid lines appear over icons within application windows. Is anyone else seeing these? Or, not seeing them while using the nVidia driver?

OS: openSuse 11.4
CPU: AMD Athlon 1.2 Ghz (Socket A)
GPU: nVidia Geforce 7300 GT

Software :: Remote Desktop And Multiple Desktop Windows

Dec 14, 2009

I have VMware server installed on this machine. I also have a Windows XP VM running all the time. I have it bridged so it gets a valid IP from my router and such and is in my network. I use KRDC to remote desktop to it and I make it full screen. However if I want to go back to my desktop I have to minimize KRDC.

Is there a RPD client out there I can use so I can go full screen on 1 desktop and have everything else on another desktop then use KDE's Desktop switcher or ctrl+alt+arrow keys to switch between desktops to flip between Windows XP and Linux without having to minimize?

Ubuntu :: Set Up A Multiple Desktop On 1 PC Solution?

Aug 25, 2010

there are some old PCs in the house that the Hard Drives are so bad, anything put on them stutter horribly (10min to load up thunderbird? No way). So, my idea was to set up some desktops on a PC (Intel Pentium Dual Core E2160, 4GB RAM, 750Gb in HDD space) wired to the network, and the "satellite" PCs could use a CD or flash drive with Puppy Linux (or something else, if you have any suggestions) and connect to the main PC.

This way, the files are safe from the failing HDDs, speed shouldn't be a problem, and being able to set up a print server would be icing on the cake. The one small problem is the best way to do it. Since I'm a newbie, I was just thinking some Virtual Machines (virtualbox right now, since I can't get KVM to work) with VNC server software. Keep in mind the satellite PCs aren't used for much storage of music and video files, mainly just email and internet, so the RAM and HDD space shouldn't be an issue (I'm not sure on the processor).

Ubuntu :: How To Change Window Backgrounds

May 25, 2010

I'm trying to install an emerald theme while maintaining the Compiz desktop effects. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 Lynx and have installed Emerald Theme Manager and Compiz. I was looking for a good theme to go with my background/laptop and took a liking to this one I'm sure this is a stupid question but how do I install this? By following the link to the rgba true theme, there are "instructions" on how to install it, but I just cant figure it out. I have the window borders setup but I'm stumped on how to get the transparent black window backgrounds(by window backgrounds I mean everything inside the frame). The frame works fine but it looks terrible with the solid white window interior. Can someone tell me how to get this working? I have already tried Compiz opacity (terrible, makes everything unreadable). Every background setting I see is RGB, no transparent setting. If it helps, I'm trying to get everything ~75% transparent, no solid colors.

Ubuntu :: >Backgrounds And Emblems Don't Work?

Jul 16, 2011

In my orig. post I did not state that I was now using gnome in Ubuntu 10.10.I have "light sensitive eyes" and I have to be able to change the back ground colors from white to dark in such programs as Nautilus and editors. This is the main reason I've used KDE for years, it's very easy to change in KDE. I have read the help from:(http://library.gnome.org/users/user-...mblems.html.en) and every thing I can find "here" on changing the background colors to no good. Heres whats happening:I open Nautilus>Edit>Backgrounds and EmblemsI select Patterns>Drag a pattern title to an object to change itBut it don't work. I've tried the same thing with "Colors" and itdon't work.I have dragged using right mouse button, middle button, and left button and they don't work

Ubuntu :: 10.4 Gnome Desktop Is Spawning Multiple Processes?

Jul 27, 2010

This is the second new install of 10.4 on the same machine with the same issue. After boot, as soon as user logs into the desktop, sys mon shows cpu at 100 percent and a steady climb in ram usage. several processes are spawned continuously until all ram is consumed and then moves on to use scratch space.

Using top, the process count moves into over a thousand total processes. Some investigation using top, ps, and digging into the /proc folder shows a ppid of 1 If the machine is booted to shell, top shows 120 processes and is stable. Some of the processes running repetitively are the gnome toolbar, nautilus, and I wish I was clear headed enough to write the others down before I left work. I can certainly get a more complete list in the morning.

I have swapped out ram, and the processor with no success. I have also tried apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop then installing with apt, this did not resolve it. As mentioned at the top of the post, this is the second install with these symptoms. The first install started showing the issue about 10 hours after first boot. On this second install, all was working fine for a couple days before this started in.

Debian Multimedia :: Desktops Forgetting Backgrounds?

Feb 28, 2011

Alright, my boss has discovered an odd issue with KDE4.4 on his laptop. He downloaded a Superman wallpaper for desktop 3 (he has four desktops) using the "Get new wallpapers" functionality, and he downloaded one to his Pictures directory inside his home directory and set it as the background for desktop 1. Now if he logs off and back on, everything is fine, but if he reboots both wallpapers are lost. If he goes into the desktop settings, the wallpapers are there and selected, but they won't show up unless he clicks OK again

Ubuntu :: How Does Appearance Pref Mgr Reference Backgrounds

Feb 16, 2010

Peering into gconf-editor, I noticed that under desktop>gnome>background the picture_filename is the original warty that comes pre-installed on karmic. However, I am not using that BG, instead one that i told the Appearance Preference manager to find and use. Does this app use a symbolic link to refer to the image, or is it elsewhere? Lookin in /usr/share/backgrounds my image does not exist. So what is drawing the BG? Is it nautilus or compiz?

Ubuntu :: Lost Backgrounds & Emblems In Nautilus?

Oct 17, 2010

Well I was curious to try Nautilus Elementary from its PPA. The install was fine, but the search function was broken. After having issues removing the PPA and my package manager having errors I have old Nautilus back, but without its old Backgrounds and Emblems in the Edit menu. I tried doing remove completely of Nautilus and its related packages but I don't have the old nautilus back as I need it.

I don't want to have to reinstall everything just for one application, as it means configuring settings and installing the rest of my apps all over again.
