CREBS does not set wallpaper in GNOME3

[brx75]

Crebs uses gconf API to set wallpaper. Gconf is no more supported in GNOME3 as it has been replaced by GSettings.

if you use dconf ediitor the menu is org/gnome/background and in there is a url that you can change to ~/.crebs/"Name" this works but no icon.

in Ubuntu 11.10 CreBs can't set the slideshow too

and i don't have "background" in dconf-editor org/gnome/

[Jan Vlnas (jnv)]

org.gnome.background key isn't visible in dconf-editor (maybe it's a bug), but you can read and change it using gsettings command - see ArchWiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME#Login_background_image

Basically you just need to run:
GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri 'file:///home/USERNAME/.crebs/SLIDESHOW.xml'
(remember to change USERNAME and SLIDESHOW, of course) and slideshow will be applied.

This really should be added into Crebs.
