Nothing happens on Gnome

[adityaarun1]

I have gnome DE running on Arch Linux over wayland. When I run dwall -s firewatch, nothing happens (there is no output on the terminal).

Hmm, I've not tried it on Wayland, i can't say what's wrong here, script seems to work fine, but setter not working i guess...

Yep, gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri doesn't seem to work for some weird reason.

What about the permissions for the folder with the images?

[adityaarun1]

I think the images folder /usr/share/dynamic-wallpaper/images and its contents have proper permissions. The permissions for the jpg files are 644 and the directories are 751.

try to set 0755 for the directory

Done, it doesn't help! 😐

P.S.: I don't think this is a permission issue. seems like gsettings set does not update my background (or anything else) from anywhere. Don't know why though, using dconf as dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/background/picture-uri "'file:///<file_path>/<file_name>'" works just fine.

Finally solved it!

I use miniconda python distribution on my system which ships its own gsettings! Simply forcing the script dwall.sh to use the system /usr/bin/gsettings solves the issue.

Thanks for your support.
