Fix Released means that it was fixed in the development release. You can nominate for a previous release if you think this is a good candidate for a Stable Release Update: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
Actually, I'm reopening this because this has only been fixed in the GNOME Background panel, not the Appearance panel used in Unity. http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-control-center/commit/?id=3d79e11 ** Also affects: gnome-control-center-unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-control-center-unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: gnome-control-center-unity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927302 Title: cannot set bmp as desktop background (and no reason given) Status in GNOME Control Center: Fix Released Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-control-center-unity” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: * right-click on the desktop * select "change desktop background" * click on the "+" sign on the bottom * browse and select some bmp file expected: the file should appear on the left and you should be able to select it as a background (this happens with jpg files) observed: the file browser closes but the file is not added. No error message is given If the bmp file format is not supported (which I don't see why it shouldn't be) or if anything is wrong with the file itself, an error message should be given. I attach a bmp file that exhibits the issue just in case it's this file in particular ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: unity 4.28.0-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-16.28-generic 3.0.17 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-16-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0: Error: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0' .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module 280.13 Wed Jul 27 16:55:43 PDT 2011 GCC version: gcc version 4.6.1 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-9ubuntu3) .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None Date: Sun Feb 5 21:08:14 2012 DistUpgraded: Log time: 2011-12-07 19:34:40.350850 DistroCodename: oneiric DistroVariant: ubuntu GraphicsCard: nVidia Corporation G84 [GeForce 9500M GS] [10de:0405] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
