Tiny Core Base > CorePlus

Desktop goes black when setting a background image

(1/2) > >>

Criteria:
Hello, so I'm pretty new to Tiny Core and this is my first look into it. As I was setting the desktop with Openbox, I tried to set a background image on ControlPanel > Wallpaper, then from a solid blue, it turned into a black bg. The only background I could get are colors.

After some research, I installed others WM and nothing worked out. By now I'm using JWM and edited .jwmrc,  yet when adding a bg image for the desktop, some kind of gray background appears.

I've some experience with linux, but I try to not go further from what I know.

Thank you, and sorry for my english~

Using flwm, if you copy a jpeg image into /opt/backgrounds and then use control panel/wallpaper you can set a background image.

Background is still black, not even the logo appears, maybe need some libs?

I can see all images using flviewer or the browser.

Juanito:
Are you using Xvesa, Xorg-7.7 or Xfbdev?

Which window manager are you using? It might be better to use flwm for troubleshooting the wallpaper problem.

Criteria:
I'm using Xvesa, for wm I installed flwm but the background keeps going black. Any suggestions?

Update: I noticed the .setbackground file, where it puts "hsetroot -tile /opt/backgrounds/bg.jpg", So when I run the same code on the terminal, it says:


--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ hsetroot -tile /opt/backgrounds/bg.jpg
sh: xrandr: not found
--- End code ---

Is xrandr a missing dependency?
