Hi,

I use KDE on VERSION=“Tumbleweed”
VERSION_ID=“20160105”

I have been using variety for backgrounds for a month.

zypper info variety

Hi
Would appear to be a common bug at the moment;

Malcom, thanks for making this available in OpenSuse.
I checked the bugzilla report and it says this is fixed in the latest Tumbleweed update, but for me it’s not.

Repository: @System
Name: variety
Version: 0.5.5-18.1
Arch: noarch
Vendor: obs://build.opensuse.org/home:simotek
Installed: Yes
Status: up-to-date
Installed Size: 2.1 MiB
Summary: Wallpaper changer
Description:
Variety changes the desktop wallpaper on a regular basis, using user-specified
or automatically downloaded images.

Variety sits conveniently as an indicator in the panel and can be easily
paused
and resumed. The mouse wheel can be used to scroll wallpapers back and forth
until you find the perfect one for your current mood.

Apart from displaying images from local folders, several different online
sources
can be used to fetch wallpapers according to user-specified criteria.

I’ve installed python-pillow as I found in a blog post but after I had installed Variety.
So I did sudo aptitude install variety and it recommended an updated version 0.5.5-18.1 which I installed.

Any ideas on what I’m missing? I know it requires Imagemagic on Ubuntu and I think the X11 screensaver package on Fedora.
Not too swift on Python editing but I can follow directions rotfl!

I’m using Gnome desktop

Hi
I only built the initial package, it’s not maintained by me anymore

I would recommend switch back to the tumbleweed released version, rather than the current maintainers home directory.

These are the required packages, also make sure these are from Tumbleweed repos;


Requires:       ImageMagick
Requires:       dbus-1-python
Requires:       libnotify4
Requires:       python-beautifulsoup4
Requires:       python-configobj
Requires:       python-httplib2
Requires:       python-lxml
Requires:       python-Pillow
Requires:       python-pycurl
Requires:       python-pyexiv2
Requires:       python-webkitgtk
Requires:       yelp

beameup · February 15, 2016, 11:16pm

ok thanks. I’ll give that a shot and let y’all know how it goes.

beameup · February 15, 2016, 11:57pm

I removed my version, then removed the 2 extra repositories that were added when I did that 1 click install from the website.
Then I rebooted and used Yast to install the Tumbleweed version.
That didn’t change the error. The developer is only issuing Debian releases so I guess I’ll have to wait and try to sort this out.
Really not anything else similar at the moment.

Thanks.

Hi
One wonders if the bug has crept back in?

If you duplicating it, then I would suggest re-opening it indicating
the error…

Sorry for late update. Been a little busy on this end.

They asked me to file a new bug. After thinking about it, I decided to grab the latest greatest Tumbleweed ISO and do a clean install.
Then, if the bug reappeared, I’d file it.
Gnome desktop, 64bit. Added Variety via Yast and it’s worked well. No issues.
I realize that’s not the ideal solution for everyone, but I had to rule out anything I might have self-inflicted
