Can I pick this up where "jdamian.b" left off? I have *exactly* the same symptoms (and apt-cache output)
.xsession-errors reports nothing while browsing for background files (if that's what you meant). However, I do get one error (and only one, from nautilus) when using the standard browser interface. ** (nautilus:8269): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Not supported Any ideas where to go from here? As far as reproducing the problem ... I have no idea what I did to "start" it. I only discovered that I could not change backgrounds, no matter what I do (copied files into /usr/share/backgrounds, change permission&owner, etc.). I'm reduced to attempting to change the background definition XML file to see if I can get it change that way (not complete as of writing). Symptoms are that: (1) only 22 of 41 files in my /usr/share/backgrounds directory even show up in the standard change dialog. (2) I browse to any directory I like, and no files show up as "images". (3) Only by selecting "All files" can I see anything in the background location browser (then I do see everything!) (4) Selecting any file does nothing, as far as I can tell. It doesn't add. It doesn't become my background. Signed, "A willing guinea pig" (aka Ken) Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and all updates as of 11/17/2008 (2.6.24-21-generic) P.S. Yet to try: (A) another user, (B) changing the XML file to a new path (.jpg file) -- Can't add new wallpapers using gnome interface and Images (like jpeg) are not detected as it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258081 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
