Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
** Package changed: unity (Ubuntu) => gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- 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” package in Ubuntu: New 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.
