Anyone know how to lock the wallpaper on Peppermint 4…?.
You can set the wallpaper and on the next reboot it vanishes.
Jocklad :
Haven’t seen this for some time…
Try this … open a terminal and run this command:
mv -v ~/.config/pcmanfm/peppermint/pcmanfm.conf ~/.config/pcmanfm/peppermint/pcmanfm.conf.old
now change your wallpaper <–this is important, to recreate the pcmanfm.conf file
now log off/on to test it stuck.
Still the same Mark.
This is what came up in Terminal
ben@ben-Dell-DV051 ~ $ mv -v ~/.config/pcmanfm/peppermint/pcmanfm.conf ~/.config/pcmanfm/peppermint/pcmanfm.conf.old
‘/home/ben/.config/pcmanfm/peppermint/pcmanfm.conf’ → ‘/home/ben/.config/pcmanfm/peppermint/pcmanfm.conf.old’

What’s the output from
cat ~/.config/pcmanfm/peppermint/pcmanfm.conf | grep wallpaper
From the terminal:
ben@ben-Dell-DV051 ~ $ cat ~/.config/pcmanfm/peppermint/pcmanfm.conf | grep wallpaper
cat: /home/ben/.config/pcmanfm/peppermint/pcmanfm.conf: No such file or directory
ben@ben-Dell-DV051 ~ $
Jocklad
What’s the output from
ls -a ~/.config/pcmanfm/peppermint
ben@ben-Dell-DV051 ~ $ ls -a ~/.config/pcmanfm/peppermint
. … desktop-items-0.conf pcmanfm.conf.old
ben@ben-Dell-DV051 ~ $

Right-click on the desktop, select “Desktop Preferences”, click the little folder at the end of the “Wallpaper:” line, select a different wallpaper, click “Open”, then click “Close” ?
Now what’s the output from
cat ~/.config/pcmanfm/peppermint/pcmanfm.conf.old | grep wallpaper
and
cat ~/.config/pcmanfm/peppermint/pcmanfm.conf | grep wallpaper
You can change the wallpaper back afterwards, but you MUST change the wallpaper as described above at least once to generate the new pcmanfm.conf file.
ben@ben-Dell-DV051 ~ $ cat ~/.config/pcmanfm/peppermint/pcmanfm.conf.old | grep wallpaper
wallpaper_mode=2
wallpaper_common=1
wallpapers_configured=1
wallpaper0=/media/ben/1300b0c8-47d5-4109-aef5-09614ade2471/home/ben/Downloads/kosbveteran.jpg
wallpaper=/media/ben/1300b0c8-47d5-4109-aef5-09614ade2471/home/ben/Downloads/kosbveteran.jpg
ben@ben-Dell-DV051 ~ $ cat ~/.config/pcmanfm/peppermint/pcmanfm.conf | grep wallpaper
wallpaper_mode=1
wallpaper_common=1
wallpaper=/usr/share/peppermint/wallpapers/Peppermint.jpg
ben@ben-Dell-DV051 ~ $
Think we have got it.
Did a reboot and its still there.
Again, Many thanks.
