Bug Description

Ubuntu Trusty r188, Samsung Galaxy Nexus

1. Use the Camera app to take a photo.
2. Go to System Settings > "Background" > "Welcome screen" > "Image/Photo".
3. Choose the photo.
4. Choose "Set".
5. Sleep the phone then wake it again.

What happens:
3. The "Preview" sheet shows the photo as pure black.
4. The thumbnail shows the background as pure black.
5. Sure enough, the background is pure black.

What should happen: The background is set to the photo.

(I don't know whether this happens for non-photo images because of bug 1288364.)

Hmm, I can't confirm this on Nexus 4 / image 219.

Ken, any comments?

(I can't confirm either, Ken could you hint on what log informations would be useful there? seems likely a content-hub issue...)

I can't reproduce this either, perhaps this has been fixed. If you can still reproduce it, please comment with the following info:

Output from:
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri

Are there any files in this directory?
/home/phablet/.local/share/SystemSettings/Pictures/

Attach the upstart log, ~/.cache/upstart/application-legacy-ubuntu-system-settings-.log
