I installed ubuntu 11.04 from wubi to my laptop ( dell inspiron m5030). Installed succesfully, and it restarted. After i logged in, I see only the background image. Any panels arent visible.Can anyone help me?
Maybe it is a x server error. My video card is ati radeon hd.
Anyone know why each time I boot up the machine the cube background image goes away and the background colour is left. This image i am placing is in Apparency/Skydome
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have spent the most part of 5 hours trying to fix this issue. For some reason I cannot change the background image to any of mt .jpg wallpaper files (and .png files). I've tried using the Ubuntu-Tweak application, but I end up getting a purple screen (default) or a black screen (default). So then I tried using the terminal method by making the Appearance window appear when I would log out. That works, except when I go to use my background image, it shows as a question mark for the image preview, and the icon for the file is a gray box. All while doing this my background images that I tested are all in the /usr/share/backgrounds location. Please help! I really want to get rid of the default images and use my images... :/ My desktop/screen in 1440x900, and most my background images are around that size. They work with my regular desktop for my account.

2)I need to set a color(because the image is smaller than the resolution)
I can't find how set this two parameters
Well, since I can't set it up to show a workspace, I can at least add a background so its not so plain How do I do that ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm currently writing a little script that gets a random image from the xkcd website and then sets it as the desktop background. I grab the picture with wget, and to prevent the script from spamming by creating a new file for each image the new picture always gets downloaded to "wall.png". Apparently this is a problem for gconftool-2. When I run the following command for the first time, the background changes:
Code:
gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /home/zilioum/wall.png
But if I run my script, and then run the same command again nothing happens. It seems like gconftool-2 does not change the background if the filename stays the same even though the picture changes.
Things I tried but that don't work:setting the backround to a dummy location and then setting it to wall.png unsetting the value first, and then setting wall.png as background
I could always download it to the actual filename, set that file as the background and then move that file to wall.png or delete it. But I'm wondering if there is a way to "smart up" gconftool-2.
I've recently installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.4 on my HP Mini 210 HD, and installed gtk2-murrine package to utilize a theme I downloaded gnome-look.org/content/show.p...content=124548...This all worked well, until I attempted to change the background on the Gnome desktop. Upon entering the Appearance configuration, there is a file explorer fork-bomb that occurs and floods my Taskbar for up to a minute after I've entered the config. Has anyone ever experience this and if so, how can I fix this?On top of this, I cannot change the background even if I select a new image.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been messing with settings of nautilus via
Code:
"Edit" > "Backgrounds and Emblems..."
and selected a background image.
And from that moment on, nautilus crashes (reloads) on almost every right click, menu opening, and almost any action, nautilus should do (as a file manager). Running Nautilus from Terminal and observing the output left me with a blank output ... no errors, no warnings, just reset.
Does anyone know how to set the background of a terminal to be an image, and not have it slightly transparent? I've set an image as my Terminal background, but now when I open a terminal over other applications I can see those applications through my Terminal background. Is there any way to stop this from happening?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have noticed on a couple of the newer installs I have done, that the Skydome image is faded. It appears to have about 35% lower contrast than it should. I always use the same one, I have compared it to the local file, I am a professional photographer, so I can say it has nothing to do with the image itself, but rather it is some hidden setting somewhere, as I have tried cranking up the image's native contrast, and nothing changes.This happened before, and in the course of normal compiz tweaking, it went away, but I would like to figure out where that is, as CCSM has so many settings, and it may not even be a compiz setting, but rather a system setting. I just do not know.

View 9 Replies View RelatedFirst, I wrote a bare bones bash script to change the gnome desktop background to a random image [URL] Then, I realized there are dozens of bash scripts posted in the ubuntu forums just like this one [URL] next, rothalem & I rediscovered the drama of processing files in bash that have spaces in the name [URL] Finally, sflitman suggested dumping bash all together & just using perl [URL]
Result :
A pretty little perl script to change the gnome desktop wallpaper / background to a random image. - If you are unfamiliar with perl :
[URL]
The completed script isn't bullet proof but it will :
- accept command line arguments
- accept files & dirs with spaces in the name
- catch most errors or use the defaults.
Step 1 : Inherit the appropriate CPAN library ( from command line )
- Main Menu -> Accessories -> Terminal
Code:
sudo cpan File::Random
Step 2 : Cut-n-Paste this code into a perl script & change red line to the path_to_your_wallpaper_images
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# rocuan & sflitman
use Cwd;
use strict;

I've spent a good part of the day wrestling with replacing the grub background image. I did my homework and over the past few days read every thread and suggested link I could find on this forum. I had a clear idea of what needed to be done. Spacefun had quite a laugh at my expense! It was not fun at all. First, I put images in /usr/share/images/desktop-base and made changes in /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme to point to the image I wanted to use. Yes, I updated grub but spacefun had some sort of deathgrip on the setting.
So I threw an image in /boot/grub. Well, Grub found that and spacefun was gone but there was no background image when it booted - only a black background! At this point, I just surrendered and replaced spacefun-grub.png with the image I wanted and it finally worked. There are links in /usr/share/images/desktop-base/ that point to /etc/alternatives/ which in turn point back to the original file in /usr/share/images/desktop-base/ which I think may be the root of the problem but I didn't just want to start deleting links willy-nilly. Does anyone think that might just set things straight? This whole process is several steps backwards in customizing ability from what it was with grub and GDM a few years ago. This is NOT progress!
I would like to put an image in the background of my console (tty) like done by Gentoo or Suse : I found several tracks to follow, but I would like to have your advice on the best way to do that for Debian.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've just upgraded to Fedora 12 from Fedora 10. When I was using F10, I changed the desktop background (Using Gnome and right clicking on the desktop to see settings)nd then selected the option to make it the default so that the chosen wallpaper appears when I try to log in. However, I can't see this option in Fedora 12.
