wallpaper resets after reboot *solved*

Postby schmidtbag » Tue Jul 05, 2011 5:35 pm

So to keep this short and simple, if I change the desktop wallpaper, it resets back to the LXDE blue image when I reboot. How do I make it stop resetting itself?

Although I have no idea why, apparently $HOME/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf is being rewritten when you reboot. You might want to verify that it is correct before rebooting and has the proper permissions (mine is 664)

I fixed mine from resetting by backing up first *for safety reasons* to /home/user/Documents/backups (I always make a backups folder)

the /usr/share/lxde/pcmanfm/LXDE.conf text file

then I deleted the /usr/share/lxde/pcmanfm/LXDE.conf text file.

Wallpapers started to stick after doing that for me. The $HOME/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf started taking over which wallpaper I had selected with my AntiX wallpaper.sh script that Dave wrote for AntiX.
