[SOLVED] No wallpaper -Black background

Post by ramjet1953 »

Hi, Guys!

Something has obviously gone wrong with a config file here. :(

1. I cannot invoke wallpapers and have a black background.

2. The characters are not smoothed and character spacing is uneven.

3. Icon set is the default GNOME icons.

I created a new user and all is OK.

So, obviously it must be a config file for my usual login that is causing the problem.
I had a look in the ./config folder and couldn't see anything obvious.

A solution to this would be appreciated.

Regards,
Roger

Managed to correct the problem. :D

What I did was:

1. Back up the .config folder in my home directory and re-named it.
2. Copied across the .config folder from the new user that previously created.
3. Copied the application specific folders from the backed up .config folder to the new .config folder.

All now working OK.

I still don't know which was the offending file/folder and would like to know, so that just that file/folder could be backed up.
That way, if the problem surfaces again, it could be easily rectified.

Regards,
Roger :D
