Package: desktop-base Version: 6.0.6 Severity: important I rebooted this morning and noticed there was no background on the gdm signon screen (just grey), then when the gnome desktop came up everything was green instead of the nice space swirls. When I checked in Preferences/Appearance the background setting said 'Debian image missing' but the link '/usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-background' pointed to '/etc/alternatives/desktop-background' which points to '/usr/share/images/desktop-base/spacefun-wallpaper.svg' which is on my system:
240 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 240803 Feb 19 13:31 /usr/share/images/desktop-base/spacefun-wallpaper.svg A reinstall of the 'desktop-base' package did not fix the problem. Nothing pertaining to this problem appears in .xsession-errors. On another machine with this same setup, the background is present in an Xvnc session and in the real desktop (screen :0). -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-interactive-2-686-pae-atom (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages desktop-base depends on: ii librsvg2-common 2.34.0-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG desktop-base recommends no packages.
