[SOLVED] Wallpaper reverts to default after suspend [RC1 iso install]

Recently my wallpaper started reverting to the default gray after waking from sleep/suspend, and logging in, replacing my chosen wallpaper. Logging out and back in reinstates the wallpaper of my choice.

What had you changed in the system immediately before the change in behaviour?

Please post the content of ~/.config/openbox/autostart

Re: [SOLVED] Wallpaper reverts to default after suspend [RC1 iso install]

my wallpaper started reverting to the default

is this the same as on the login screen?

how are you setting the wallpaper?

if you are using the default, nitrogen, there's a file that sometimes gets corrupted, i think it's in ~/.config/nitrogen.
take a look, optionally edit manually or delete and choose wallpaper again.

Please post the content of ~/.config/openbox/autostart

I don't recall changing anything recently... if I did I'd have followed that lead.

autostart contents:

## Openbox autostart
## ====================
## When you login to your BunsenLabs Openbox session, this autostart script
## will be executed to set-up your environment and launch any applications
## you want to run at startup.
##
## Note*: some programs, such as 'nm-applet' are run via XDG autostart.
## Run
## /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/openbox-xdg-autostart --list
## or
## /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openbox-xdg-autostart --list
## to list any XDG autostarted programs.
##
## More information about this can be found at:
## [url]http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Autostart[/url]

## If you do something cool with your autostart script and you think others
## could benefit from your hack, please consider sharing it at:

Yes, same as the login screen. I do use Nitrogen to set my wallpaper. I've just deleted the config file, reselected my image of choice and it's fine now. Thanks for the help.

Re: [SOLVED] Wallpaper reverts to default after suspend [RC1 iso install]

@Hoas & @damo, i just noticed (both on my own vanilla bl and on the autostart above) that autostart executes hsetroot & nitrogen in quick succession.
this is pointless for many reasons:

• openbox-session already looks for a bg setter to make the bg gray, see /usr/lib/openbox/openbox-autostart (*)

• hsetroot is not installed

• it would only last a split second anyway because nitrogen

(*) actually op's problem negates the first one. it would seem like starting openbox through the display manager does not execute that script?

I think the hsetroot line is a hold-over from the cb autostart, but it should be commented out (it is in my BL autostart). Anyway, I've raised a github issue - thanks for the catch

Thanks for the reminder... always forget that. That said, I didn't find the cause. Just another computing mystery to me.

it would have been nice to take a look at that corrupt nitrogen file.
do you have multiple monitors? iirc, it might have something to do with that.
in any case, a known problem with nitrogen.

Yeah, too bad I don't have a backup to retrieve the lost file from. I have one monitor.
