This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. Hi Luca, Have you gotten this working in the mean time, by any chance? I don't really know how to help you debug this, but we should reassign the ticket to the graphics stack instead -- the gnome-backgrounds package probably has nothing to do with the issue, it just ships the .jpg files. Hi, no: the bug is still there. I believe it has to do with texture size, as the only backgrounds which work are those whose size is approx. less or equal to 1920x1200 pixels. e.g. among the standard wallpapers, bee-and-the-sunflower.jpg, diamantina.jpg and water-flower.jpg work; cherry-2.jpg or wine-in-the-morning.jpg do not. If I manually resize an image, by downscaling it, then it appears it can be loaded. [I tried this with wine-in-the-morning.jpg with a convert /usr/share/backgrounds/schroedinger-cat/extras/wine-in-the-morning.jpg ~/wine-in-the-morning-resized.jpg and then I could manage to load it] I reckon that the proper fix would be to downscale the image before loading it when the screen resolution is low, but I do not know how manageable this might be with the current stack. Reassigning to Mutter that draws the background. This is likely already fixed upstream with https://git.gnome.org/browse/mutter/commit/?id=15e01152da335f5a9e7617674ffa54cb1bdef957 I've seen this issue as well on a fully updated F-19 machine. I don't believe it's an issue due to memory as the machine I saw this on had 3Gb. I tried to down scale the image and it didn't have much effect, I think it might also be more related to the image format as there's one image that I can consistently set as the background on this machine and others that I can't. Interestingly I've seen something similar of late on F-20 where the screen lock image disappears and I get a blue background. So far, I have not seen the problem anymore on F20, at least for what concerns the desktop background. This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. |
