One of the new wallpapers in 10.10 is a photo of tall green plants, many with seeds traveling up the plant. How can I find out the name of the wallpaper, as well as the name of the plant? It is so beautiful.

This is sort of a strange question but I've got a Linux terminal in one of our plants that does electrocoating. Its only been there a month and now refuses to start. After I cracked the case, the amount of crap all over everything (particularly the heat sink) was pretty significant considering the short time it was over there. I'm assuming the issue is either overheating or a short on the motherboard.
My understanding is that electrocoating is done by passing a charge through a piece of steel that helps to bond the paint to it. If there's airborne particles of this paint being sucked in by the computer's fan, is it feasible that it could be bonding to the heatsink or motherboard in a similar way?
I have created an xml file to change my wallpaper periodically, but when i try to select a new wallpaper..i cant find the .xml file.

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.
Has anyone figured out how to get Wallpaper_Tray to work in 10.04? Or is there another wallpaper changer that will install?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running 10.04 with compiz under gnome, and I'm having trouble getting my screenshots to capture properly. Currently they only display my wallpaper and not any windows or panels. I tried using the module in the custom settings manager but no key-binds seem to work, well either that or the plugin is failing to load when I initialise it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 10.04 NBR and have set a desktop background image which is fine until I shut down and then upon booting it is not shown until I go to appearance->background and it suddenly apears as the desktop
why it is not shown automatically on starting ?
Im having a bit of a problem with my wallpaper and flash. The wallpaper was fine up until yesterday, when i changed my window transparency, using the murrine engine. It has dissapeared but everything else is there (see Screenshot[/URL]), and if i attempt to choose any picture, the background goes black, and all icons etc dissapear. The tool bar remains though, and a workaround i have discovered is to run nautilus and log out, and back in. This brings back the grey screen.
As i said, i made my windows transparent using murrine, i had a lttle play around with a new emerald theme while i was there. Im running emerald, compiz, the apearance thing, and gnome colour chooser, so maybe there is a clash? Since the wallpaper dissapeared, im unable to view som flash, i can hear it, but not see it. For instance, ..... will load upnormal but where the video is, its just grey. I can right click etc as you would if it was a video, but just no picture.Any help would be greatly appreciated, my specs are on the screenshot, and if you need any more info ill be glad to post. I also have yuuguu installed if someone would like to help remotly?
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 did a fresh install of 10.04 x64 on my laptop. I used to run wallpaper-tray (wp-tray) and it worked perfectly. Now it seems to have been removed from 10.04. I've read some posts that some people have installed it somehow, but I can't. It keeps being listed as not in my repositories.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI can add my own wallpapers to the list shown in the Desktop Activity Settings box, but can't find a way to remove them again. Is there a control for this somewhere else, or a config file somewhere that I could at least edit manually? I am using KDE 4.4.2, with the kubuntu-desktop package installed on top of Lucid/GNOME.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI cane never decide on a single wallpaper so I managed to put together this little script, mostly by stealing from other people, and have it run on start up.The first and most important is that my computer doesn't remember the settings for each picture, it just uses whatever the previous settings were. Is there a way to fix this? and the second very minor problem is that sometimes the script uses no picture so I just have whatever backround color was set as the wallpaper.

View 5 Replies View Relatedmy first install was 10.04, and everything was working fine. Only last night, and this morning, when I tried logging into Ubuntu, I entered my username, password, but after it accepted it, it only showed my cursor and the login wallpaper. Sometimes it gets to my desktop wallpaper, but shows nothing else. I have a dual-boot with Vista, if that helps at all.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having this problem since some time ago, in which the wallpaper won't load at startup. I have to manually go to the Appearance Manager and load it.
Isn't there a way to do this automatically at startup? I know it's kind of a minor thing, but I'm all for aesthetics of my pc.
I have Ubuntu Lucid and am wondering how to have the wallpapers in the Background tab of the Appearances dialog box update automatically when I add a wallpaper to /usr/share/backgrounds. Or should I be putting them somewhere else for this to happen? I have several accounts on my computer and can't go into each account and manually update whenever I add a wallpaper
View 3 Replies View RelatedI don't exactly know how to describe the problem, that's why I included a screenshot of the desktop wallpaper. You can see a small copy of the desktop image on the left corner and the whole desktop with the same image. I changed the desktop and the same thing happened.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have put a local marine chart as my wallpaper image (ubuntu 10.10). It's a high res tif image and looks good.
However, occasionally I'd like to zoom in on a particular point. Is there any way of doing this? (I'm not using compiz - as I don't need that level of eye candy).
I know I can open the image manually and zoom - but wondered if there was a way to do it on the wallpaper.
Whenever I set a new wallpaper on Fluxbox with feh, it goes away as soon as I log out and log back in. It is probably relevant to say that my login wallpaper just so happens to be the same one that Fluxbox automatically switches to when it logs in, which I changed (somehow, can't remember how).

View 3 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?
