Can't set my background

This is mystifying me. I have tried all other solutions that I could find and none seem to work. The 'appearance' menu has disappeared from settings. I'm using gnome-classic. Here's what I've tried so far:

1) Right click -> Change desktop background This just brings up settings

2) gnome-control-center background Same as above which is annoying. It also brings up this:

[_LOG_LEVEL_FATAL 12:41:31.369606] Switchboard.vala:201: Couldn't find background.plug among the loaded settings.

[_LOG_LEVEL_FATAL 12:41:31.369641] Switchboard will not function properly.

3) apt-get install gnome-control-center-unity to which I get E: Unable to locate package gnome-control-center-unity

Just to followup: I never managed to fix the problem concerning the wallpaper dialog but I found a workaround to change it from the command line with this little script:

#! /bin/bash



path=$(cd $(dirname $1); pwd)/$(basename $1)

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri file://$path
