How can I fix my desktop background setting?

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 581 / 3 Years ago, mon, july 12, 2021, 6:12:21

I am running Ubuntu 13.10. I installed gnome3 out of curiosity a few days back, from then my desktop background just went black. It won't change no matter what I do. I removed gnome completely and reinstalled Unity. But the problem persists. Hoping to find some help here. Thanks in advance.

I had a similar issue:

I turned the desktop icons off using Ubuntu Tweak and from the following restart I had a black wallpaper.
To get my wallpaper back I turned desktop icons on using Ubuntu Tweak again.

Downoad Ubuntu Tweak: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/

Ubuntu Tweak->Tweaks->Desktop icon settings->Show icons on the desktop->ON

enter image description here
Restart then.

If you don't have the desktop icons in addition to the wallpaper then you can give this a try.
