Hello.
I am assigning a background image to ROOT user’s desktop.
I have added two images from my personal folder, but one is wrong.
How to remove the wrong image in the menu “Desktop folder setting”/wallpaper of the user ROOT ?
I could not find any reference to the wrong picture file in /root nor in /usr/share…

Any help is welcome.

My 2 cents: You should not have a root user desktop at all. And never talk about security issues as long as you have. :slight_smile:

I agree.

(Just giving a second opinion).

If you have installed a stock wallpaper, they are all in /usr/share. The only ones in a user’s folder are ones which are not stock wallpapers.

Hello.
That is not my question.
And your 2 cents is too more expensive.
You don’t help me.

That’s does not help.

Hello.
I have a folder with wallpapers and icons.
Relative to my question, from desktop configuration menu I have click on the ADD button and choose the file from my folder; Then I selected the relevant wallpaper. As I made a wrong choice, I selected a new file from my folder then selected the relevant wallpaper.
Now I want to remove the choice and the file of the first file I added wrongly.

What do you mean by installing a stock wallpaper.

Any help is welcome.

IMNSHO I do help you. That is, to avoid you creating and having one of the biggest security and breakage risks. This one is about Ubuntu, but explains it quite nicely https://www.howtogeek.com/124950/htg-explains-why-you-shouldnt-log-into-your-linux-system-as-root/

Hi
I would suggest looking for a thumbnail cache in either .cache, .config, .kdeN? (I’m not a KDE user). I doubt you will get much help (It’s all guess work) since you have decided to run a desktop session as root. Can you find the file(s) locations/contents in your user directory. I would suggest fgrep and the name of the file to see if it’s in a cache, for example;


cd
fgrep -r <your_filename_no extension> *

I suppose your are too much busy, but you don’t read carefully my question. The question is not how to run or not as root.
It is a general question :

Desktop Folder Setting - Wallpaper : where is the configuration file ?

You don’t help me one second.

Thank you. I have a try.

Before I post I try with

find . -type f -iname "*part_of_my_file_name*"

But did not get any things

It is surprising that the configuration menu give you a way to add a file but you cannot remove the file ?

On the icon of the all pictures which are not opensuse initial, if you move the mouse in the upper right angle, a small ‘remove symbol’ appear.

Thread is closed.

Thank you very much to everybody.
