I have just installed opensuse 11.2 and am using the gnome desktop environment. I just can't get it to change wallpapers. I select a wallpaper in the list, and nothing happens. I download a wallpaper and add it to the backgrounds. select it. nothing happens. I don't particularly like the default wallpaper and I hate to abandon the whole OS just because of this, but it's irritating.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIn 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.

View 9 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.
So, I had a system failure earlier today. I decide to reinstall xubuntu 9.10 on my computer. Everything goes fine and then when I start getting things set the way I want them, I find that for some odd reason, I can not change my wallpaper in xfce4. Added to that, when I click the right mouse button, nothing happens(yes I have it checked to open the application menu) and when I click in the left mouse button and drag(usually a frame appears), nothing happens.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell XPS M1530 which has 4GB of RAM and Nvidia graphics card. I have problem with Ubuntu 9.10 (had the same problem with previous version). If I change the desktop wallpaper from System > Preference > Appearance it seems to freeze everything momentarily (15-30 seconds). Then you see the jagged transition happen when wallpaper changes from current to new.
I tried with wallpaper-tray applet and it has the same affect. I have NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.09-pkg1 installed for Nvidia and all the effects enabled. They don't run slow at all...Like when I move the window, the window frame is fluid and flows beautifully. Is there a way I can make the wallpaper issue go away? Or disable the transition effect on wallpaper change?
I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a t41 laptop. Everything is snappy and great but I can't copy anything to the desktop, I also can't change the wall paper. Is there a setting I need to reset?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm planning on getting a netbook soon (probably in May), and the model I want (Asus EEE PC 1001PX-EU17-BK) comes with Windows 7 Starter. Should I keep Windows 7, install Ubuntu 11.04, or dual-boot?
I have already found intructions on how to dual boot the way I want, and how to change the wallpaper in Windows 7 Starter. I also already have experiance with Ubuntu, Unity 3D, and Windows XP.What would be the best solution?
Applied several updates last night including a 2.6.30.5-43 kernel and a suggest kmod-nvidia but the 5-43 kernel boots to a wallpaper gnome screen the first time.
Booted to the "fallback" 2.6.29....17 kernel and it worked fine.
Then 2.6.30.5.-43 also booted but without nvidia.
Installing akmod-nvidia as sugggested in other posts. Also see a kmod for this kernel.
I am looking for a tool that can resize images and display them on the root window of an X11 display at a specific coordinates. I can use display from iagemagick like so display -window root -geometry '-0-0' -resize '1920x1080>' IMG.png But cannot use it since it does not display on the right root window -- pseudo transparency in urxvt shows the wrong image as shown here. Ideally, I would like to resize any image bigger than my display. Does anyone know of a too that can do the following: Resize the image if it is bigger than some size (aka the display size). Set the images top appear at specific screen coordinates.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is something that I started to notice in F12 and it appears to be the case as well in F13. Any changes that I make to my desktop wallpaper in Gnome don't stay in effect after a reboot. Any ideas as to what is going on here? I don't mind the default blue swirly thing in F13, but I at least want the style change from scale to center to stick.
Choosing the 'set as default' option doesn't seem to help either, as that changes the screen you see at the Gnome login. Once I log into my account the default desktop wallpaper is still there.
how can I get the default wallpaper GNOME-Shell (such blue with stripes)? the text translated by Google Translator

View 7 Replies View Relatedapps that ran and installed just fine under 11.1 don't (seem to) under 11.2.I was running Gnome under 11.1, and have used the same desktop as I moved to 11.2.For example, I was able to install and run the Novell Support Advisor 1.1 under SLED 11.1 just fine. I would need to authenticate as root before the app would run, but it would run just fine.After I upgraded from SLED 11.1 to 11.2, things just don't seem to be as stable. NSA (and other apps) seem to install, but their icons don't appear in the applications folder, and when I login su and then attempt to run, the terminal window usually hangs.
I can't get a CIFS client to install (I see it in the list of installed apps, but it's not present under YAST).Banshee was a beautiful app under 11.1, but I feel like I spend more time working around it's glitches in 11.2 rather than setting it to play and enjoying it's usefulness.The Novell Client (yes, I know, it's not officially supported under 11.2) has caused me enough heartache that I VNC an XP box just to get to files.So anyway, enough whining, what can/should I do to work through these issues? Should I just give up and go back to 11.1? Is it better to burn and re-build rather than upgrade per the OpenSUSE docs? Is there some "magic" log files folder (other than availble via YAST) to see where error messages are occurring so I can troubleshoot the issues better?
I would like to change to the Gnome desktop is this possible and if so how?
