Every time I try to open Ubuntu's (any version, since from 8.04 with which I started) default wallpaper, named warty-final-ubuntu.png, I get an error:


Image Viewer says it's not a PNG file


I reported this as a bug more than a year ago but it is still unresolved. Also I don't get why the default wallpaper is still named as warty-final-ubuntu.png instead of having actual code name prefix to which the wallpaper belongs eg. precise-final-ubuntu.png and so on.

You are trying to open the wrong file.



file /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png

/usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.02


The file is a JPG and not a PNG. You should open /usr/share/unity-2d/warty-final-ubuntu.jpg since it is a symlink to your file:



file /usr/share/unity-2d/warty-final-ubuntu.jpg

/usr/share/unity-2d/warty-final-ubuntu.jpg: symbolic link to `../backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png'


Example with your image (eog is the command line name of image viewer).
