Ubuntu fail: setwallpaper not found, isn't an apt or snap I can install #5

On first run I was getting this error:

image

But I was able to resolve it with snap install sunwait. Unfortunately, there's no setwallpaper I can install on Ubuntu.

Yes, sunwait and wallutils (for setwallpaper) are dependencies for sunpaper

wallutils has pretty good documentation for installing on ubuntu

And if you go their suggested route of first installing go, you can then install setwallpaper with: go get -u github.com/xyproto/wallutils/cmd/setwallpaper

I have no idea how I missed that in the setup.
