Fetching and installing splash images using the add-on installer doesn't work correctly:
1. Go to Options -> Background 2. Click "Get New..." 3. Select a splash image from the KDE-Look.org source; click "Install" then "Close" 4. Click open the splash image combo box; the downloaded image isn't listed, and "No Splash Image" remains the only entry The downloaded image is stored as /tmp/kde-your_username/foo, where "foo" is a randomly generated 10-digit alphanumeric filename with no extensions. `file` shows these files are the same type as GRUB splash images (gzipped XPMs): $ cd /tmp/kde-goatsocks $ ls 4Pn9seZnxz 99UWyhRoKh $ file 4Pn9seZnxz 99UWyhRoKh 4Pn9seZnxz: gzip compressed data, was "watch.xpm", from Unix, last modified: Mon Jul 28 19:39:48 2008, max compression 99UWyhRoKh: gzip compressed data, was "Train.xpm", from Unix, last modified: Mon Jul 7 00:35:13 2008, max compression As a workaround you can force KGrubEditor to recognize the images: 1. Rename the downloaded files to their original names (i.e. "watch.xpm.gz", "Train.xpm.gz") but keep them in the /tmp/kde-your_username directory 2. Close System Settings (or the standalone KGrubEditor) then re-launch it and go back to the Background tab 3. Click open the splash image combo box; the downloaded images should now be visible and selectable -- KGrubEditor QA Testing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263827 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
