I have no clue what happened, but the desktop background picture has ceased to be displayed. I'm not even sure where to look to troubleshoot the problem. The salient information is: OS is fully updated Testing, MATE desktop environment. I have attempted to re-set the desktop background via both system settings and via right-click->set desktop background on the desktop to no effect. Thinking that probably the issue was associated with my normal login (the only one on the ea7c4862-980d-56f3-3578-505684870f85@cloud85.netsystem), I created a new user from root terminal and logged in with newly created skeleton home folder; the problem persisted with the new user, so it is a system-wide issue. Past that, I have no clue. Any ideas/help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I've just done: apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade I no longer see the problem described in this thread. [just a heads up for those who haven't recently done update etc]
