Postby LISABLUEANGEL on Sun Jan 29, 2012 12:41 am

i downloaded a wallpaper changer called desktop nova and it says my d-bus failed to connect and desktop daemon failed to start.... please help me as i really want my wallpaper to change like windows 7 does.... when i start my desktop nova daemon it does not work at all... is this because my video graphics card is not supported yet?

You might want to look at Wally as an alternative: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/wally-wa ... eased.html

Desktop Nova seems to not have been updated in almost two years...

I am not on my Mint box (uses Nova) right now but if memory serves there is a module (matched to you desktop environment) you need to download and install as well as the basic changer and tray programs. Good Luck

When you installed desktopnova you had a choice in Synaptic: desktopnova-module-gnome or desktopnova-module-xfce. Could it be you chose wrong? One will not work with the other.
