Im running Zestly, but I'm missing a http://ppa.launchpad.net/whizzzkid/bingwallpaper/ubuntu/dists/zesty entry..
Im getting this while installing it on 16.10. I don't think i had this error on 16.04, so there might be some changes in how stuff gets started? I wouldn't know, im a newbie. I just added bingwallpaper to my startup applications.
Registering as startup application...

Because of the >>
here, the file ~/.config/autostart/bingwallpaper.desktop

Another point, this file is owned by root:root
but sits in user land, that's incorrect I think.
PS: 👍 for this tool, I really like it.
Hi,
First thanks for this, it works nicely and I really enjoy having Bing pic of the day as wallpaper automatically.
Sometimes I wonder what the image displays and I would like the copyright
somehow overlaid on the picture. I already use conky to overlay some infos on my desktop, so I was wondering if you could change the output and save the copyright with the picture (i.e. foo.jpg and foo.txt), maybe as an option
Regards,
Régis.
not much experienced in linux but with default settings I get wallpaper in 16:10 aspect ratio instead of 16:9. Is there a way to tweak that?
I recently moved to KDE Neon and it uses Plasma which has a weird way of updating wallpapers programmatically.
Needs research.
I want to install mojave theme with this code
sudo apt install nautilus
but I encounter this error
Errors were encountered while processing:
bingwallpaper
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
It also happens when I want to install other apps. Is there any way to fix this issue?
Thanks @whizzzkid
A strange thing occurs to me. At first, I thought it might be caused by #18, but I realized it is consistent.
When I boot up, wallpaper is set and everything is cool. However, whenever I open Nautilus, it oddly goes black.
I don't know it will not help much but here's a screenshot:
Since it is fully bash script, I cannot provide any logs, but I executed bingwallpaper
from terminal and this is what I get:

It seems successful, but no changes on background, it is still the same.

Any plans to add support?
I use Ubuntu 16.04. I have an app called Wallch that changes the wallpaper at specified intervals of time. When that is launched on startup, bingwallpaper isn't able to make an changes to the current desktop wallpaper.
