    Hi,

    After Deepin 15.6 upgrade, isn't possible set or change wallpapers, the only possible way to change the wallpaper is with the right mouse button on the desktop, but from there I can only choose the official wallpapers.

    I use Variety Wallpaper to get images from the web and change the wallpaper automatically. Variety is working perfectly, I know this because when I type the command gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri in the terminal, it returns the same image path that is set to current in Variety.

    If I Define an image as wallpaper via Deepin File Manager, it is in the same situation as Variety.

    I reinstalled Variety several times, including removal using --purge and deleting the ~/.config/variety folder for clean install.

    I don't believe that the problem is with Variety, because, as mentioned, it's changing the wallpaper, but apparently there is some bug with DDE which causes him to ignore the changes.

    If I try to set an image as wallpaper via file manager, nothing happens either, so I think that really has bug in DDE.

    OK, I got a partial solution.

    The correct command to return the wallpaper path in DDE is gsettings get com.deepin.dde.appearance background-uris and not gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri as I mentioned earlier.
    I can set as wallpaper via terminal with the following command:
    1. gsettings set com.deepin.dde.appearance background-uris "['file:///path/to/img.jpg']"
    Copy the Code
    I know the wallpaper has changed seeing the launcher's background, but the change is only applied to the desktop when I restart the computer.

    In Variety I made a small change to the set_wallpaper file from the ~/.config/variety/scripts folder. In the following part:
    1. # Deepin
    2. if [ "$(gsettings list-schemas | grep com.deepin.wrap.gnome.desktop.background | wc -l)" -ge 1 ]; then
    3.        gsettings set com.deepin.wrap.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri "file://$WP"
    4.        if [ "`gsettings get com.deepin.wrap.gnome.desktop.background picture-options`" == "'none'" ]; then
    5.               gsettings set com.deepin.wrap.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'zoom'
    6.        fi
    7. fi
    Copy the Code



    I changed to:
    1. # Deepin
    2. if [ "$(gsettings list-schemas | grep com.deepin.dde.appearance | wc -l)" -ge 1 ]; then
    3.         gsettings set com.deepin.dde.appearance background-uris "['file://$WP']"
    4.         if [ "`gsettings get com.deepin.wrap.gnome.desktop.background picture-options`" == "'none'" ]; then
    5.                gsettings set com.deepin.wrap.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'zoom'
    6.         fi
    7. fi
    Copy the Code

    Now I just need to find a way to clear the desktop cache so that everything works fine .
