V2.8 - Background image does not load.

[gerald_clark]

I set a background image via cpanel.
I deleted .xsession to make sure I got the default one.
I rebooted with a backup.
After X loads, the background image is not set.
If i run './.setbackground' the background image is loaded.

/opt/backgrounds is symlinked to persistent storage in bootlocal.sh
I did not have this problem with rc3.

It works for me.

I use persistent opt (not backup, but backup should also work).

I copy background images to /opt/backgrounds.

Then select a background image with cpanel.

It works.


What you are doing seems overly complicated.

I am using TCL2.6. I do this:
Delete /home/tc/.logo.xpm
copy any .jpg file to /home/tc/ with the name .logo.xpm
With the next reboot , my TCL background is set to this new .jpg file.
Hope this helps !

Problem solved.
It was a race condition in bootlocal.sh
I create the link for backgrounds earlier in the script, and it now works.
