[SOLVED]Nitrogen Problems

urbo · 2016-05-22 21:16:50

Hello, I hope someone can help me. Today I came home from work and got on my computer and decided to check for updates and I had a couple so I installed them. Then I decided to change my wallpaper and went to open Nitrogen and nothing happened. Nitrogen would not open. So then I decided to try the terminal and typed in, Nitrogen. I got a error that said, "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Gio::Error'
Aborted

So I tried to reinstall it and that did nothing.
So I am stuck on how to get it working again. Please help!

Welcome to BunsenLabs

Are you using the Numix theme?

EDIT: Switch to the "Raleigh" theme and see if it works then.

If that isn't the problem, please post the full output of:

apt-cache policy

Thank You! I wasn't using the Numix theme but I did change my icons after I did my update. I switched to the Sardi Icon set. Sure enough I switched back to Faenza-Dark-Bunsen and Nitrogen worked. Then I switched back to Sardi and it didn't work. Ha! Never seen that before. So I just switched back to Faenza and Nitrogen is fine. I wonder why this is!?! Thank You for your help. I hope Nitrogen fixes this cause I like to change icons and wallpapers often.

You can change wallpapers without using the Nitrogen gui:

Edit '~/.config/nitrogen/bg-saved.cfg';
or
Use the nitrogen command itself (see 'nitrogen --help' for the options)
or
Use 'feh'
or
Search for one of the wallpaper scripts on the forums
or etc...

You may also want to try 'anypaper', which is in the Stable repo.

.....Edit '~/.config/nitrogen/bg-saved.cfg';

Thank You! I did not know that. Thanks a lot!

So can we add [SOLVED] to the title?

Do I do that? Or a Mod?

I'll do it, but next time just edit the title of your first post

Did you also know that you can save/restore your theme settings - background, openbox, gtk, conky, tint2 etc - with 'Menu -> Accessories -> BLOB Themes Manager'?

No I didn't understand what that was and I didn't look it up yet.

Damo , Hey, I have been using Conky Manager for my personal conky. I could not figure out how to add a conky to the "Bunsenlabs Conky Manager. I tried putting the conky in /.config/conky but it would not show up in the Bunsen Conky Manager. How do you do that?

If you have a different question, then you should start a new thread

From '/usr/bin/bl-conkyzen'

#   Conkys must be in $CONKYPATH
#   The name must end with "conky" or "conkyrc"
...
CONKYPATH="$HOME/.config/conky"
...
