CENTOS7 + MATE (gnome2) support required

[Anonymous]

Hello.
Can one help please to modify BGINFO4x to support CENTOS7 + MATE (gnome2 fork) combination?

CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core)

Mate installed as :

yum install epel-release
yum groups install "MATE Desktop"

I did several tries to work it out but was unable to complitely add support for it. I managed to have it working with only one backgroud picture but then user changes backgroud pic BGINFO4x or ignore it or replace it with previous one.

I can show my modification of send tar.gz files set. But basicaly all is about using gsettings command in correct parts of BGINGO4X code like

[root@host BGINFO4X]# grep -iR '.mate.' ./*
./CUSTOM/CONF/IMMODE.CONF:LINUX_GET="gsettings get org.mate.background picture-filename"
./CUSTOM/CONF/IMMODE.CONF:LINUX_SET="gsettings set org.mate.background picture-filename \"${WALLPAPER}\""
./CUSTOM/CONF/IMMODE.CONF:FORCEOS_GET="gsettings get org.mate.background picture-filename"
./CUSTOM/CONF/IMMODE.CONF:FORCEOS_SET="gsettings set org.mate.background picture-filename \"${WALLPAPER}\""
./CUSTOM/CONF/IMMODE.CONF:LINUX_CENTOS_CENTOS6_GET="gsettings get org.mate.background picture-filename"
./CUSTOM/CONF/IMMODE.CONF:LINUX_CENTOS_CENTOS6_SET="gsettings set org.mate.background picture-filename \"${WALLPAPER}\""

Many thanks!

Hello,

Does the gsettings command work on the command line?
Does the gsettings command work inside BGINFO4X?

Or your problem is that the wallpaper is not permanent?

Thanks a lot.

sure
Does the gsettings command work inside BGINFO4X?
i think so, i use bash -x to trace

Problem is is in that i can not make BGINFO4x catch user specified wallpaper and use it . Then change it to another wallpaper and make BGINFO4 notice change.

Actualy i need help.I do noth think i can make it work alone

Hello,

You should debug the program. Do the following:

Edit BIN/CONF/DB.CONF -> Put ON/OFF for the needed variables. Start with:
FT.CONF and OF.CONF and IM.CONF

Edit BGINFO4X.CONF -> STOPLOOP=1

Check options in:
https://sourceforge.net/p/bginfo4x/wiki/Documentation/#advanced-settings-debug-options

Send the results.

Thanks.
