When I try to run the program using the terminal I get this result image_2022-05-16_000454703 I don't have any clue what I'm doing wrong here, do you mind helping me?

Lysime commented 2 years ago

Btw I use Ubuntu Budgie 22.04 LTS

You're missing xwinwrap, most likely because ypu didn't follow the installation instructions and did not install video-wallpaper, just ran it. As part of the install process, xwinwrap is downloaded off of that project's website.

Please follow the instructions as written and report back.

I actually did install it and made sure to follow as the readme.md said but it still has the same problem. And when I move the xwinwrap folder to the gpu-video-wallpaper folder, I get this error image

If you've run the installer, all files will be placed here: /home/$USER/.local/bin Hence, you can just run video-wallpaper from any directory.

From what I'm looking at here, it looks like you're trying to run the script from /home/$USER/gpu-video-wallpaper (i.e. the files you've cloned off Github). Please remove the "./" from your first command. That should do the trick. Let me know how far this will get us.

Also note that video-wallpaper comes with a GUI (and creates a corresponding menu entry if you let it). That has the correct directory baked in.

Lysime commented 2 years ago

This is what I have when I remove the ./ image Also even though I accepted to create a menu entry at the end of the installation, I don't find it in my applications menu

The problem seems to have solved itself after a few tries. Thanks a lot for your help
