Easier: Let's test both changes, that would be great. Here is the potential new izulu version: https://gist.github.com/onli/7d4fe397ab004075890c7ebc40af7563. Could you test that file? It should work from everywhere, just start in in the terminal with the params you used before, -p and -t especially
from izulu.
Thanks for the report.
It seems that Helvetica is not available on your system. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ephifonts/ mentions some problems with the Helvetica-font, maybe that is related. Could you show me the output of convert -list font
?

Wow I didn't know I have so many fonts available, so I put it in pastebin instead:
from izulu.
Aha, this particular problem isn't causing the malfunctioning. I use mate as my window environment and it seems like your script cannot find out the right command for setting the background. When I enter the wpcommand manually in the config, than it seems to work as expected.
Unfortunatly I couldn't figure out the default mate command for setting a wallpaper, I don't even know if there is one. So I installed feh, but how do I tell feh to set the background and not opening up a new window?
from izulu.
Finally found out how to deal with this in mate. Maybe you want to incorporate this in your script as well:
gsettings set org.mate.background picture-filename
from izulu.
Are you certain the imagemagick error message does not matter? He succeeds in writing the forecast day names and the temperature to the image anyway? If not, that should be fixable by switching to DejaVu.
gsettings set org.mate.background picture-filename
Thanks for that. Izulu indeed did not know about mate yet. Now all that is missing is to detect that mate is running. Could you test for me whether echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
outputs anything?
PS:
So I installed feh, but how do I tell feh to set the background and not opening up a new window?
Izulu made feh open a window? That should not happen. The command to set a background image is feh --bg-scale
(or one of the other background scale ratios).

Hmm I guess then it's not working. I don't see any information on my desktop. But I'm already happy to get random images from flickr ;) And how do I tell izulu to use Dejavu?
Anyway, the output of my env var is this:
> echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
> MATE
I tried feh with this option as well, but unfortunatly it did not set my background like this. Same for xsetroot when using the right options. I don't know what mate is doing in the background that this is not possible.

If Mate behaves like the old gnome nautilus is taking the desktop for its own, to paint the desktop icons and the background image.
And how do I tell izulu to use Dejavu?
We would have to patch the file izulu. It is a bash script, so it is easy to do manually. There are two instances where imagemagick is called with -font Helvetica
, both are in setImage()
, Line 201 and Line 211. Please change both to -font DejaVu-Sans-Condensed
.
If that works for you I'll make a new bugfix release with the font change and support for mate :)
from izulu.
It seems like this command:
gsettings set org.mate.desktop.background picture-options "stretched"
is not working. It tells me there is no schema org.mate.desktop.background.
I'd guess you copy pasted from gnome ;) Maybe it should be org.mate.background.
But apart from that it looks good now
from izulu.
Thanks :) Yes, I copied that badly. org.mate.background picture-options "stretched"
worked?
from izulu.
Yes awesome :D
Now I only need to find out how to shift the weather icons up. They are currently behind my bar. But that's not anymore case of this ticket
from izulu.
Thank you for your testing!

Right, not part of that ticket. Pointer anyway: --compat unity
. If that does not work feel free to open a new ticket to add a new compat setting for mate.
