Please post the contents of ~/.config/openbox/autostart, ~/.config/nitrogen/bg-saved.cfg and ~/.config/nitrogen/nitrogen.cfg (using "[ code ]" tags )

No, that just resets the last wallpaper used which should be stored in the bg-saved.cfg file.

You have two wallpapers listed in your bg-saved.cfg file which might be the problem.

Are you using two monitors, and if so, a separate wallpaper on each?

datetck · 2018-12-12 21:38:16

Are you using two monitors

nope

datetck · 2018-12-12 21:50:28

its solved i have delete the older wallpaper and set the new on:

[xin_-1]
file=/usr/share/images/bunsen/wallpapers/default/BL-beam.png
mode=5
bgcolor=#001e44

[:0.0]
file=/home/ju/Pictures/wallpapers/bunsen/default/Farmers_Manual_2002.jpg
mode=5
bgcolor=#000000

it works thanks for your advices

damo · 2018-12-12 21:50:58

You don't have the wallpapers directory set to the one you are using

file=/home/ju/Pictures/wallpapers/bunsen/default/Farmers_Manual_2002.jpg

Add the path to nitrogen.cfg:

dirs=/home/ju/Pictures/wallpapers;/home/ju/Pictures/wallpapers/bunsen/default;

datetck · 2018-12-12 22:02:42

ok

maybe you should just remove (not delete) ~/.config/nitrogen/bg-saved.cfg
then use nitrogen to select a wallpaper.

if that doesn't fix it, show us ~/.config/nitrogen/bg-saved.cfg again (the new one), and the output of

xrandr

datetck · 2018-12-13 16:16:30

now it works with no problems thanks

Change of nitrogen by oboinus, I also had to change xfce4-power-manager to mate-power-manager.

dr_iian · 2019-08-04 18:51:25

that nitrogen version apparently had a problem with conky, the solution is only to change the option own_window_type 'desktop' to 'override'.

Hi there,

Not sure if it's better to reply here or to open a new thread (please let me know if the latter is better). I just want to leave my two cents.

I was having the issue that my original wallpaper (BL-beam.png) gets restore every time I reboot.

If I change it with menu > Preferences > Wallpaper, select the thumbnail I want and press Apply button, it stays during that session, but it's gone the next time I reboot.

I have tried different things suggested in several articles in this forum, but nothing worked.

Eventually I saw that the `~/.config/nitrogen/bg-saved.cfg` stores the wallpaper that is loaded at boot, so I changed the filename there and now it works.

Now that file looks like this: (there are two lines, I can fix the issue by changing the first path, to the default wallpaper, but I see the second path is to the one I choose in the Nitrogen dialog, so probably that's the one that should be used?)

So my workaround works but still there's something wrong with the Nitrogen dialog where you can pick the thumbnail. Any changes there are not kept after reboot. In case something needs to be fixed...

Thanks.

Cheers, Manuel
