Automatically Changing desktop background on gnome-shell

This is the problem I had. I cancelled out each wallpaper from my list of all wallpapers I had, after I completely sucked out the goodness of a wallpaper with my eyes.

I came up with the idea of automatically changing the wallpaper randomly via some sort of shell script. It’s implementation used gsettings to change the desktop wallpaper. It was supposed to run automatically as a cron-job but I couldn’t make the cron work. The current implementation uses sleep to get the delay

So a simple wall paper changing script looked like:

-

-#!/bin/bash
-image_path=$1
-# Setting up a path for local storage
-
-if [ ! -d "$image_path" ]; then
-  echo "Path doesn't exist (Pass absolute path as parameter)" 1>&2
-  exit
-fi
-local_dir="/home/$(whoami)/.local/wall_change"
-# creating local directory
-mkdir -p $local_dir
-# getting name of the picture
-pic=$(find $image_path -regextype posix-extended -regex "(.*\.jpg)|(.*\.png)"|shuf -n1)
-echo $pic
-
-# Storing image in local_dir
-filename=$(basename "$pic")
-extension=".${filename##*.}"
-local_wallpaper=$local_dir/mywallpaper$extension
-# setting the wallpaper
-cp "$pic" $local_wallpaper
-# echo $local_wallpaper
-# Adding bogus wallpaper (don't know if this is a gsettings bug or i'm doing some basic flaw)
-gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri file:/$local_wallpaper
-# try increasing the sleep if wallpaper doesn't change
-sleep 1;
-gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri file://$local_wallpaper
-

  • Making your scroll smooth: Emacs Scroll will seem a bit weird to some people who are new to it. To remove the jumpy effect of scroll you can add following lines in your .emacs file
    • -

-  scroll-conservatively 10000

    Using Aliases and Autocompletion

    Aliases greatly improve the productivity by assigning short names to complex commands and for commands you use a lot and need a shorter version of them. This can be done by using alias builtin. The aliases are normally created inside .bashrc or .bash_profile. Some of the aliases I use are:

    -
    alias dr='drush'
-alias drcc='drush cache-clear all'
-alias drdb='drush updb && drush cc all'
-alias dren='drush pm-enable'
-alias drdis='drush pm-disable'
-

    You may add other aliases depending on the other commands you frequently use.

+

    You may add other aliases depending on the other commands you frequently use.

    The Autocompletion is also another great option bash. This option requires you to only partially enter the commands and pressing TAB to complete it.

    There is already a script for autocompletion on a drupal issue page which simply needs to be added in your /etc/bash_completion.d/ directory.

    You might find this textbook for bash completions helpful if you want a farther insight.

    Method I : Editing the brightness

    and changing them with root access changes the brightness. The problem here was that I wasn’t able to give a script root access without it prompting for a password. I moved the other way since I couldn’t figure that out.

    Recently, I figured out the way to give the scripts root access by editing /etc/sudoers/ file and adding

    -
    $user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: $path_to_script
-

    where $user is the user-name and $path_to_script is what it says it is!

    $user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: $path_to_script

    Method II: Making a Python Script

    After some researching I found out about the dbus module of python, which basically could help me get or set the brightness. Using this and a little argument parsing I was successfully able to make a script which changed the brightness. Update: This method doesn’t work on Gnome-Shell v3.10 :worried: . I will update a patch soon.
