TC 8.0 no wallpaper after boot (sometimes)

(1/5) > >>

thane:
I'm having an intermittent issue in TC 8.0 with there being no wallpaper after boot. Wbar is there but the rest of the screen is black. If I go to the Control Panel/Wallpaper and select the jpg, it works fine. Maybe some sort of timing issue? There don't appear to be any other problems associated with it.

I'll be away from TC for a few days so no rush. Thanks.

Uncle Warthog:
I'm seeing the same thing on my end with the same fix.

curaga:
I booted TC 8.0 in Qemu 10 times, every time the core logo showed. Try to redirect the messages into a file in /tmp (in .setbackground, add >/tmp/bg.log 2>&1 at the end).

I've had a couple recurrences of this, but it's very infrequent, maybe once every 100 boots at most. I haven't been able to capture any info on it in the log. However a possible clue is that I get the same screen if opt/background is pointing to a non-existent file (i.e. you set opt/background to a file and then delete it).

After upgrading to TC 9.0, there is consistently no wallpaper after boot. Control Panel/Wallpaper works fine. Was there a change to .setbackground or .xsession that might account for this? I've seen this in some earlier upgrades but IIRC it hasn't been a factor recently. Note that what I did was an actual upgrade (installed TC from CD to existing USB partition, then rebooted and updated extensions). Everything else seems to work right. Suggestions?
