Hi,

I upgraded from 16.10 to 17.04. I had 16.10 set to use the community wallpapers that cycle throughout the day. When I upgraded to 17.04, it reverted back to the default Ubuntu 17.04 background.

When I went to Appearance and chose one of the Ubuntu wallpapers in there, it wouldn't change. I've had a look in dconf-editor searching for "background", but I can't find the relevant property to set.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

The path in dconf editor is shown in the screen shot , but that doesn't explain why the background setting isn't working. To get to the screen shown in the picture right click the wallpaper path shown in picture-uri and select custom.
