@ypingcn could you please help me to fix this issue? Thank you!

[ypingcn]

try those command in your terminal

1. sudo apt install libnotify-bin
2. sudo apt install xfconf

it could be better if i know which version of lubuntu are you using

[gastontancredi]

It worked! Thank you so much @ypingcn For ref, my version is 0.14.1 Thank you

It worked! Thank you so much @ypingcn For ref, my version is 0.14.1 Thank you

Hey it seems that it did not work as expected. The desktop changed but it doesn't change automatically, any idea about why it's happening? My desktop is LXQT and it is not listed

[ypingcn]

did you choose "autoupdate Bingwallpaper when tool startup" option ? it's a little confusing right now. you need to choose this option and proper interval at the same time.

LXQT is not yet supported now , but it looks like xfce works in your os.

[gastontancredi]

So, when I run your code the deskop changed but it is not changing any more. The autoupdate is set. The desktop is not xfce (I was confused) it is LXQT, it seems it is the reason it doesn't work. Do you know if there is any other option? I tryied Bingwall but it is not supported either. This is the only I miss from Ubuntu

[ypingcn]

ok , I will download lubuntu 20.04 in my spare time to support LXQT.

[ypingcn]

@gastontancredi it occurred to me that "lastest" option in update means use the same image in bing.com, if you use "latest"+"every 60 minute", it will set the same image in one day.

lastest means "latest" a new version is on the way

[gastontancredi]

@ypingcn are you testing this in LxQT? I made this setup and restarted. However when I restart the screen doesn't change. I also executed setwallpaper after the reboot (because it does not open automatically) and went to Update but it didn't work either

can you paste what you get from https://www.bing.com/HPImageArchive.aspx?format=js&idx=0&n=1 ??

and i can't found any solution to update LXQT wallpaper in terminal .. "pcmanfm --set-wallpaper="/path/to/file"" doesn't work in my lubuntu 20.04 vm. it is a tricky issue :-(

[gastontancredi]

I get this: {"images":[{"startdate":"20200625","fullstartdate":"202006250700","enddate":"20200626","url":"/th?id=OHR.GorchFock_ROW9740450416_1920x1080.jpg&rf=LaDigue_1920x1080.jpg&pid=hp","urlbase":"/th?id=OHR.GorchFock_ROW9740450416","copyright":"German navy tall ship Gorch Fock in waters close to Reykjavík, Iceland (© DEEPOL by plainpicture/Henn Photography)","copyrightlink":"javascript:void(0)","title":"","quiz":"/search?q=Bing+homepage+quiz&filters=WQOskey:%22HPQuiz_20200625_GorchFock%22&FORM=HPQUIZ","wp":true,"hsh":"5fe866a56fff557a84ca5a13ef0beb8c","drk":1,"top":1,"bot":1,"hs":[]}],"tooltips":{"loading":"Loading...","previous":"Previous image","next":"Next image","walle":"This image is not available to download as wallpaper.","walls":"Download this image.

Yes I understand, thanks for trying anyway. Let me know if you realize how to make it work, thank you! :)

[ypingcn]

can you try this command in your terminal ? it works in my vm . if it works in your os , i will make a new version in few days. [ /home/lubuntu/BingWallpaper/bingwallpaper.jpg ] should be replaced by the image path you want

pcmanfm-qt --set-wallpaper=/home/lubuntu/BingWallpaper/bingwallpaper.jpg --wallpaper-mode=fit

[gastontancredi]

The wallpaper changed into a black page

[gastontancredi]

[ypingcn]

oops... you should choose a image file in your computer first. --set-wallpaper should have a valid location.

pcmanfm-qt --set-wallpaper=[your-image-file-path] --wallpaper-mode=fit

[gastontancredi]

But I had an image with a valid location, look, I set one image and after I run the code it changes to black

[gastontancredi]

[ypingcn]

oops .. you still don't catch my point. you should run this command in your terminal.

pcmanfm-qt --set-wallpaper=/home/gaston/BingWallpaper/screen03.jpg --wallpaper-mode=fit

if the wallpaper change from black page to screen03.jpg, it works .

[gastontancredi]

yeah so I reboot and I see it worked but this is not the wallpaper of the day, is the image I had in my computer, how can I make it change to the wallpaper of the day?

[ypingcn]

a new version is on the way. I will notify you when new version is ready.

[gastontancredi]

Thank you!! :)

[ypingcn]

new version is available , visit https://github.com/ypingcn/BingWallpaper/releases/tag/1.0 to get deb package to update

[gastontancredi]

I've just installed this version and the desktop changed automatically by the desktop of the day. I will let you know if I see any bug in the upcoming days but so far so good! Thank you so much!

[gastontancredi]

@ypingcn Hey there is a weird bug here in my LxQt version. The wallpaper does not change automatically. It sends me a notification that it has been updated and downloaded in the respective folder. However what happens is that it downloads the same old wallpaper, duplicating it. I went to the folder that contains the wallpaper and I saw that it downloaded the same background twice with different dates. I deleted all of them and hit "update" and then, the new one was downloaded and updated accordinly

[gastontancredi]

1- You can see I had the bridge wallpaper the day June 29th. This one is the bing wallpaper from June 28 so I expected it to be updated per the "lavender" wallpaper. I received a notification that the Lavender background was downloaded automatically, however the wallpaper remained the same

[gastontancredi]

I checked the folder Bingwallpaper and I observed the same old bridge wallpaper downloaded twice with different names. One of them has the date of today that should be lavender and not the bridge

[gastontancredi]

I deleted all the images from the folder and I hit update

[gastontancredi]

The lavender wallpaper was downloaded and updated properly. You can see that the name of the file has the date of today
