[Bug 1033034] Re: Setting the desktop background from cron no longer updates the desktop background
Thanks for the suggestions. The issue became less and less frequent until when a few months ago it somehow resolved itself. I didn't do anything though; the script and the cron command have remained the same. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1033034 Title: Setting the desktop background from cron no longer updates the desktop background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1033034/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

The last few days this problem has become less predictable. Instead of every day, this problem occurs every other day.

[Bug 1033034] [NEW] Setting the desktop background from cron no longer updates the desktop background
Public bug reported: I wrote a script which uses `gsettings` to change the desktop background in Gnome Shell/Unity. The command that my script executes looks like this: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri file:///path/to/background.jpg Manually running this command immediately updates the desktop background. I use cron to schedule execution of my script. My crontab rule looks like this: 0,30 * * * * DISPLAY=:0.0 nextwall /home/serrano/Pictures/backgrounds/ Cron successfully runs the script every 30 minutes and the new wallpaper URI is successfully set in `gsettings`. I test this by running: gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri However, the desktop background is not updated when cron runs the script (this used to work until about a month ago). Interestingly, when I right click on my desktop and select Change Desktop Background, the desktop background is suddenly updated to the correct image. So for some reason changing the desktop background from cron no longer triggers nautilus to update the desktop background.

[Bug 639908] Re: brasero crashed with signal 5 in g_variant_new_va()
I faced the same problem while trying to copy an audio CD on an updated Ubuntu 10.10. After reading the comments, I installed the package 'cdrdao'. That actually solved the problem. Brasero has just successfully created an image file of the CD. I tried to reproduce the bug by removing the package 'cdrdao', and the bug is back again. So I think 'cdrdao' should definitely be marked as a dependency for Brasero. Or one would at least expect a message displaying the missing dependency, like the one described in comment #20. But instead it crashes. -- brasero crashed with signal 5 in g_variant_new_va() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/639908 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to brasero in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 229197] Re: rhythmbox notifications don't show album cover
I only use local covers (ID3 tag and folder.jpg) and I always have the function for fetching covers from internet disabled. So the problem occurs for files that already have a cover locally (either in the ID3 tag or a separate folder.jpg in the same folder). -- rhythmbox notifications don't show album cover https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/229197 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 229197] Re: rhythmbox notifications don't show album cover
This is getting really strange.. first I was testing to see if the issue happens when Rhythmbox goes from track to track. The album covers showed up the way the should. But then, after the first 5 tracks or so, covers disappeared from the notifications again. After that I couldn't get it working anymore, neither when I switched tracks manually. I restarted Rhythmbox to see if that changes anything, but the issue remained. Then I rebooted the whole system, but still no album covers. Playing the same tracks which showed covers earlier don't show covers in the notifications anymore either, so it's not the mp3 files that are causing this. -- rhythmbox notifications don't show album cover https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/229197 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 229197] Re: rhythmbox notifications don't show album cover
This bug still exists on a fully updated Ubuntu Karmic with Rhythmbox 0.12.7. Strangly, I didn't have this problem when I had just installed it. It started happening later that day while I was playing around with CoverGloobus. At first it would load all covers the way it should. Then later that same day it would only display covers from albums that have the cover as a separate .jpg file in the same folder (covers from ID3 tags were not displayed). And now (a few days later) it won't show any covers at all (although at times it does). DarthTibault's method also didn't change anything for me. I added a screenshot with the bug in action. ** Attachment added: rhythmbox-bug.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/40467837/rhythmbox-bug.png -- rhythmbox notifications don't show album cover https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/229197 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
