I am looking for something like this, please to see more
Great I tried it in ubuntu 12.04 just had to chance the name of the output file to precise and worked
Awesome thanks, I am busy downloading 12.04 now.
You can also try Variety Wallpaper Changer - a new application that I recently created. Is supports changing wallpapers from local sources, fetching from various online sources, applying effects on the fly and has many more nice features. You'll need Ubuntu 12.04 or newer for it, or a new version of Mint.
Screenshots, video demo and installation instructions are all here: https://launchpad.net/variety
To make it work on 12.04 (probably 12.10 to) you need to run the following commands.
Then select the community wallpapers.Code:sudo mv /usr/share/backgrounds/contest/precise.xml /usr/share/backgrounds/contest/precise.xml.backup # sudo mv /usr/share/backgrounds/contest/background-1.xml /usr/share/backgrounds/contest/precise.xml
Works great for me after changing the filename!
If anyone was still watching this forum for Ubuntu 12.10 wallpaper changing, you don't need to have the exact name and location of quantal.xml.
Just make your xml file wherever you want (e.g. animals.xml).
Go to /usr/share/gnome-background-properties and make a copy e.g. of the ubuntu xml. Leave as many wallpaper records as you need, just fill the <name> and full path to <filename>.
cd /usr/share/gnome-background-properties
sudo cp ubuntu-wallpapers.xml my-wallpapers.xml
sudo vim my-wallpapers.xml ...
...
<wallpaper>
<name>Animals</name>
<filename>/home/meggie/animals.xml</filename>
...
Enjoy!
