Description Omar Purata Funes 2022-04-23 01:27:14 CEST

Description of problem:

This can be considered a bump of bug #16181. Where the extra wallpapers for mageia release cannot be found in both KDE and GNOME. 

The reason behind this is that, those two DE search for backgrounds in the /usr/share/backgrounds directory. I managed to fix this temporarily by making a symlink to all of the contents in the /usr/share/mga/backgrounds directory.


If there's a way to upload a patchfile here I can do it. If not I just added this line to the Makefile file in the mageia-theme at the install level on line 21.


ln -s $(DESTDIR)$(sharedir)/mga/backgrounds/*.jpg /usr/share/backgrounds/

CC KDE and GNOME maintainers for comment or execution.

CC: (none) => fri, gnome, kde

Thank you Omar for reporting this, and your fix.

Since this applies to mageia-theme, and bearing in mind the KDE & Gnome CCs, assigning this to Donald who maintains that. Re-assign it if and as you see fit.
