Hey everybody. Just need some help with desktop backgrounds, every time a change my background it works fine. But then when I restart my computer it ends up being the default brown background. When I right click> change desktop background> add. My wallpaper then magically appears before I even locate the picture. Does anyone know whats happening?

where is the wallpaper you are applying located in your filesystem? is it in your homefolder?

in that case i suspect its because ubuntu is trying to load the picture before your ntfs partition has mounted, and so is not finding it initially.

my sggestions would be to move the picture into your ubuntu home folder and set the wallpaper from there
