Does not change wallpaper on ArcoLinux Xfce anymore #121

ArcoLinux/ Arch Linux has this Xfce custom shortcut to set the wallpaper on Xfce for single monitor and dual monitor

nitrogen --save --set-zoom-fill --head=0 %f && nitrogen --set-zoom-fill --head=1 %f

I have been looking into it but can not seem to fix this.
This is what happens in the terminal

[erik@ArcoLinux Favorites]$ nitrogen --set-zoom-fill --save tb6ru.jpg 

(nitrogen:3828): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 07:46:28.959: Settings schema 'org.gnome.desktop.background' does not contain a key named 'draw-background'
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

Like suggested in the title nitrogen did work in the past. Anything I can do to assist?

Hi @arcolinuxz - I thought we had fixed this issue, but it keeps popping up depending on user environments etc. Which version of Nitrogen are you running? I'm assuming it's Xfdesktop, which according to the current code path, shouldn't be attempting to set that flag at all. Can you xprop and click your desktop and paste the output please?

Ah, there's some unrelease commits in master that may have this fixed: f6a0690, or at the very least, won't crash anymore, not sure if it will set properly. If you have the means to try master, please do so and update here.

This error is there with version 1.6.1-2 on Arch Linux.
When we install the git version on Arch Linux which is 1.6.1r306.d48ccb8-1 we do not get an error in the terminal BUT it does not set our wallpaper either on xfce. Same command as above.
Is the command correct?
nitrogen --set-zoom-fill --save tb6ru.jpg

Looks like there are two separate issues for Nitrogen: it sees the NAUTILUS_DESKTOP_WINDOW_ID Atom set and says "yes, this is Nautilus!" and tries to set it via gsettings - this explains your initial issue with the draw-background.

The second issue is that while it has a pathway for detecting XFCE, it has no special handling for it - it's just trying to use the default X method, which must've been the way to do it at some point.

Thanks for the script, I'll look at adapting it.

thanks - would be great if we can set our wallpaper again with a right mouse click (custom action in xfce in thunar)

@arcolinuxz I've pushed a new branch for XFCE support - appears to be working, multimonitor support too, on my local machine. If you can please try it, https://github.com/l3ib/nitrogen/tree/xfce.

I'll need to do more testing to make sure it handles other situations (single monitor, etc).

Made some time to test this for you
[erik@ArcoLinux Desktoppr]$ nitrogen --save --set-zoom-fill --head=0 _145_-2018-09-04-1150.jpg && nitrogen --set-zoom-fill --head=1 _145_-2018-09-04-1150.jpg free(): invalid pointer Aborted (core dumped)
I am happy to report that setting a wallpaper is possibile again in xfce but just on the main screen. Screen 0 where the menu of xfce is. Not on screen 2.
What information do you need from me to be helpful?

@arcolinuxz

I can set both screens IF I use the nitrogen gui. Maybe that gives you a clue.

daf commented Oct 7, 2018

Thanks, that's helpful. I didn't test the command line, should likely be a simple fix. Will also need to test handling a single monitor or more complicated multimonitor setups (my work machine has three, I'll be back in on tuesday).

@arcolinuxz I can't reproduce the crash you're getting on the command line, sorry! If you're feeling adventurous you could ./configure --enable-debug && make clean && make, then use gdb:

gdb ./src/nitrogen
(gdb) run --save --set-zoom-fill --head=0 _145_-2018-09-04-1150.jpg

(after crash)
(gdb) bt
... paste this

I'm not totally happy with how the monitor detection works by just reading the configuration - laptop users or folks that change their display setups often will have ghost monitors in there, as I'm getting by simply disabling my screens via xrandr commands. I'll have to revise that method to cross correlate with info from Xinerama (since we laughably still don't have xrandr support).

I'm pretty happy with the result in #123, if folks could test and report any issue either here or with new issues that would be great.

@erikdubois

tested the latest version today

Setup
ArcoLinux Xfce with thunar custom actions with dual screen
left screen has xfce menu and panel - right screen empty - just wallpaper

Setting single screen custom action
nitrogen --save --set-zoom-fill --head=0 %f && nitrogen --set-zoom-fill --head=1 %f
left monitor changes wallpaper
right monitor does not change

Setting dual screen custom action (dual screen wallpapers)
nitrogen --save --set-zoom-fill %f
left monitor changes wallpaper
right monitor does not change
there is no zoom fill over the two screens
Partial success I would conclude.

With what code can we set also the second monitor

@daf

daf commented Dec 8, 2018

@erikdubois if you want it to span both screens, you need to use --head=-1 on the command line - -1 is the monitor "number" that means all screens.

@erikdubois

This the code in the terminal.
Just one screen is set

[erik@ArcoLinux Desktoppr]$ nitrogen --save --set-zoom-fill --head=-1 1200_goldenfalls-1920.jpg

Thanks @erikdubois - could you please get a backtrace from this? (to do so: ./configure --enable-debug, make, gdb ./src/nitrogen, inside gdb run --save --set-zoom-fill --head=-1 /path/to/1200_goldenfalls-1920.jpg, then when it crashes, bt)

gdb

This is the result

In the meantime I have been testing nitrogen-git from AUR 1.6.1r306.d48ccb8-1

@erikdubois

That one seems to work already if you have one screen present.
May I suggest an official release if you feel it is ready for Arch Linux repo's.
It has been a while...

daf commented Dec 8, 2018

@erikdubois when you get that SIGABRT in gdb, issue the bt command (for a backtrace) - that'll give me a better idea why it's crashing there.

I think we are pretty close to a bugfix release but I'd like this to be fixed so we don't ship an immediate bug!

This is the correct setting to have the same file on both screen (not stretched)
