How do I install wallpapers from older releases?

Question

I have currently installed 12.04 and I really like the wallpapers of 11.10. How do I install it in 12.04?

Answer 1

You can install the wallpapers of the 11.10 by running this command in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-wallpapers-oneiric

or using Software Center

For other older Ubuntu versions, replace oneiric with

• natty for 11.04,
• maverick for 10.10,
• lucid for 10.04,
• karmic for 9.10,

Wallpapers for Ubuntu version 6.10, 7.04 and 7.10 also available. To Install edgy wallpapers use this command:

sudo apt-get install edgy-wallpapers

for feisty (1.04) and gutsy (7.10) replace edgy-wallpapers with feisty-wallpapers and gutsy-wallpapers respectively.

For convenience for users looking to download ALL the wallpapers:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-wallpapers-natty ubuntu-wallpapers-karmic ubuntu-wallpapers-oneiric ubuntu-wallpapers-lucid ubuntu-wallpapers-precise ubuntu-wallpapers-maverick edgy-wallpapers feisty-wallpapers gutsy-wallpapers

• Where can I find all the wallpapers ever included?
