cron job doesn't update wallpaper XFCE #105

Closed rarealphacat closed 5 years ago

rarealphacat commented 5 years ago

i can see it running every 10 mins under htop, so the cron is working but the wallpaper itself do not update. /10 * /usr/bin/himawaripy

I thought it has something to do with the display so i changed the cron into this, but still no luck. /10 * DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/himawaripy

But if i run this himawaripy command in the terminal myself it updates successfully, any ideas?

EDIT: Guess it does not support XFCE yet.

Couldn't detect your desktop environment ('unknown'), but you have 'feh' installed so we will use it... Edit: Finally got it running by putting himawarpi command inside conky lol, cron didn't work for me idk why.

Fixed it in the new version. I would appreciate if you can give it a try and let me know!
