This is the output I get when I run it. I am on arch, so 'python' is python3 (version included below). $ python himawaripy.py Updating... Latest version: 2016/02/04/16:20:00 GMT

Property "/backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-path" does not exist on channel "xfce4-desktop". If a new property should be created, use the --create option. Done!

Can you please paste the output of the following command:

Erreur is reproduced here. Latest Arch/Xfce

boramalper commented 8 years ago

So according to what I found on the Internet, there must be property

/backdrop/screenX/monitorX/image-path

that we can change to change the background. I don't know if are there any other way around to do this, and I can't try it myself, since I don't have XFCE installed.

I'd be glad if you can come up with a solution. :)

There is no longer an image-path property. Backgrounds are now set by changing the last-image property, as odd as that may seem. Needed to change

 /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-path

to

 /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/workspace0/last-image
whbdupree commented 8 years ago

rbong, that doesn't work for me.

Done!

whbdupree commented 8 years ago

OK, I see that you have added workspace0 to the path. When I try that, himawaripy.py runs cleanly. I get on error message, but my background doesn't change.

rbong commented 8 years ago

What is the error message?

whbdupree commented 8 years ago

There is no error message, and my background doesn't change.

Are you sure you're using monitor0, and not monitorHDMI-0? Also, are you on workspace0? The desired value should be somewhere in the command

xfconf-query --channel xfce4-desktop --list | grep last-image
whbdupree commented 8 years ago

I am apparently using monitorHDMI-0. It is working for me now!

rbong commented 8 years ago

That's great!
