Ok if you can't change the wallpaper, then remove the symlink we made, logout and login.wbrells wrote: Fri Mar 28, 2025 8:19 am Well, I now have a fairly ugly black&white MX Linux wallpaper that I can't change. Is there something else I should try? (If not can you tell me how to get back the much more attractive "mouse" on a blue wallpaper?
Thanks, Wayne
If selecting a different wallpaper doesn't actually change the wallpaper, then whatever the issue is, the actual build of xfdesktop4 doesn't seem to be the issue.
Code: Select all
sudo rm /usr/share/backgrounds/default23.png
dumb question: rather than using the Desktop settings application, have you tried selecting a wallpaper in thunar, right click and use the Set Wallpaper option? It should be the same as the desktop app, but this situation is strange enough that might be worth at least checking.
