I am seeing the following error:

$ python main.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 21, in <module>
    gi.require_version('Notify', '0.7')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 102, in require_version
    raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace Notify not available

A fix/solution would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is an issue with this program, or if I should even post it here, but I'm not able to run it. Whenever I run it I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Nedlastinger/bing-desktop-wallpaper-changer-master/main.py", line 20, in <module>
    gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'require_version'

Does anyone know a solution for this?

The script does not seem to be able to run as a user crontab:

$ crontab -e
> 57 * * * * /usr/bin/python /home/wtower/.local/share/bing-desktop-wallpaper-changer-master/main.py

The log does not show anything wrong:

$ tail /var/log/syslog
> Aug  8 12:57:01 rodope CRON[20519]: (wtower) CMD (/usr/bin/python /home/wtower/.local/share/bing-desktop-wallpaper-changer-master/main.py)

It runs beautifully standalone. Running Ubuntu 16.04.

Any ideas?

Hi there!

Interesting script! I have a peculiar problem, I've installed python-lxml and python-bs4, but when I run the script, the file that is created in the BingWallpapers directory is empty.

Currently there is a file there called "20160805.jpg", but it is 0 bytes. When I delete the file and run the script again, the same thing happens. (I've tried this several times.)

Any ideas?

I run Gnome 3.20/Debian Stretch (testing), my resolution is 1920*1080 and I have two monitors. I'll be happy to provide more information upon request!

Cheers!

I was able to install it successfully, the images get downloaded, the problem is that the desktop does not change.

I installed anaconda in my system and later removed it, this script doesn't run after that.
I tried importing gi manually it worked.
but gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') gives error as below
Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 28, in <module> gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'require_version'.
I tried a lot online but i dint find any fix, all other modules in python works file except this
is there a problem in my packages or do we need to change the code?

Running this script on two different machines, and on one of them, the downloaded images almost always seem to have Bing watermarks.

It downloads 0kb size JPG and correct image-details.txt

Din't see any errors.

crontab -e

* * * * * /opt/bing-desktop-wallpaper-changer/main.py

Please, help me to figure out how to set it via cron properly

PS: manual and start afret reboot works perfectly

See the attached screenshot for the exact error message (notification is at the upper right).

Please fix this :)

I have just found a bug and I have fixed it for me.
When I installed the program it didn't work, but when I ran the main.py from the terminal, it worked.
Investigating even more, if I executed: "python main.py" it worked correctly but if I did it with "sudo python main.py" not
I discovered that it was a problem with the permits.

My solution:

• Keep the "bing-desktop-wallpaper-changer-master" folder inside the /home/$USER folder.

• Replace the /usr/bin/binwallpaper code with:

#!/bin/bash
python /home/roberto/bing-desktop-wallpaper-changer-master/bin/main.py

The script is working nicely, but it would be handy to have the download path as a configurable item.

For instance via command line argument or via a configuration item in the .ini file (or both).

After midnight, wallpaper is updated but the description in the menu bar is not updated and show description of yesterday's wallpaper.

Script runs successfully but a notification pops u saying wallpaper unchanged

Installed as instructed, runs manually, doesn't change on startup, or the next day, wallpaper remains the same.

Using Fedora 25 and gnome.

Not working with for some resolution.
If 1366x768 < screen resolution < 1920x1080 the script not working, the program download 0 bytes image. In this case, try download 1920x1080 version ;)

Hi there. I just read about your script and installed it on Fedora (24). Works great so far. Thank! I do like to keep my screensaver background the same as my desktop wallpaper. I tried to hack your script to make it also change that, but have failed so far. I know no Python. Could you help me? I don't think it is very difficult when you know a little Python (which I don't) . I think it should use something like:

SCHEMA = 'org.gnome.desktop.screensaver'
KEY = 'picture-uri'

Hope you can help. Pointers as what you think needs to be changed are also appreciated. I am more than willing to do it, but I have failed so far...

regards,
Rolf

Works fine before, but fail when these day I upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04
It echos:

rm: cannot remove '/opt/bing-desktop-wallpaper-changer/.gitignore': No such file or directory

Executing bing-desktop-wallpaper-changer...

Hi I know it says "wallpaper" on its name, but could it be possible to add the funtionality to change the lock screen picture?

I am getting the following error when I run the script manually.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "./main.py", line 21, in <module> gi.require_version('Notify', '0.7') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 102, in require_version raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace) ValueError: Namespace Notify not available

Hey,
My wallpaper didnt change this morning and when I run main.py manually I received the below :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 378, in
main()
File "main.py", line 370, in main
with open(download_path + "/image-details.txt", "a+") as myfile:
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'download_path' referenced before assignment

If I run it as root I receive a popup saying wallpaper unchaged, because it exists in wallpapers directory, but atm my BIng Wallpaper directory is empty.

The startup script does not work as well.
Is there something I can do to ammend this?

Installer: Error 2 (Binary folder not found)!
how to fix it

Script seems to be configured successfully, notification "bing wallpaper changed" appears, as well as the downloaded wallpaper in the directory, however the wallpaper isn't actually changed

Why not make the same script in shell 👍

Here is a start and it works fine in ubuntu gnome.

I manually execute BDWC first using sudo /opt/bing-desktop-wallpaper-changer/main.py and then /opt/bing-desktop-wallpaper-changer/main.py after which the desktop wallpaper changes. But it's not scheduled to run daily. I've tried crontab with DISPLAY:0 added and see that main.py is being executed but neither notification nor any wallpaper change occurs. How do I set it to run daily, say, at 2pm?

The downloaded image is not set as wallpaper automatically so the user have to use other meanings in order to select it as the current wallpaper. While this might not be the purpose of this software it could help here by simply leaving into the downloaded directory only the last fetched image. This could be also made configurable within ~/.config/bing-desktop-wallpaper-changer/config.ini with a property e.g. keep_only_last_count; then the user could simply set keep_only_last_count=1 in order to keep only the last downloaded image (dir_max_size won't help here).

App works fine whenever os boots but it doesn't change wallpaper daily or hourly

Hi

Having some issue, it immediatly fails upon call with an errno 104 (Connection reset by peer).

My guess, as being behind a corporate firewall, it does not handle my proxy settings. Is there a way, I could define them in the script?

Good afternoon,

Well, with default installation, I always get error:
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/"/home/eko/Pictures/BingWallpapers/"/20171001.jpg'

But, after I change get_download_path(), it has no such problem again. Here is the get_download_path():
def get_download_path():
default_path = "/home/eko/Pictures/BingWallpapers/"
return default_path

I have some permission issues when launching Bing Desktop Wallpaper Changer in Ubuntu. It appears a notification stating "[Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/home/user/Pictures/BingWallpapers/20180223.jpg". I tried to give permission to bingwallpaper executable in /usr/bin via sudo chmod 777 bingwallpaper but the problems persists. Any clue? Thx
