I spent some time and tried various things but nothing works. Here's what I have tried so far (changing the slideshow manually):
- Making a new folder in
/usr/share/backgrounds/mywallpapers
and adding mybackground-1.xml
there. - Copying a bunch of wallpapers into
/usr/share/backgrounds/
- Copy
/usr/share/backgrounds/Contest/background-1.xml
to/usr/share/backgrounds/
I logged out and in and still no changes in the Appearance app.
I have heard about Wallch but I don't want some app running in the background all the time. I'm not even sure Wallch will work with Gnome 3.
I also tried gnome-3-wp
(Gnome 3 Wallpaper Slideshow app) but it just seems broken for Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric.
Does anyone have a solution?
