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
-

Things to do after installation

  • Choosing the right font: This is more of a personal choice actually. Any monospace font would do the job. You can refer to Dan’s article or Jeff’s Blog for more details.
  • 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
    • -
    (setq redisplay-dont-pause t
-  scroll-margin 1
-  scroll-step 1
-  scroll-conservatively 10000
-  scroll-preserve-screen-position 1)
-

    Well these are some basic customization which should be done by everyone using Emacs. You can add more features to Emacs by simply searching the package archive.

    If you’re a confused with the basic key-bindings for navigation, you may refer to the Emacs Wiki page.

    Finally, once you really get the hang of Emacs, it’s basically like dark magic. Check out some videos on the Emacs rocks page to see this magic in action.

    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.

+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.

    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.

    Option II: Using Tramp

    the problems with tramp started to appear.

    Tramp was a bit sluggish when opening and saving files. There were some optimizations that could be done with tramp settings

-(setq tramp-chunksize 2000)

    Option III: Mounting Rem

    One of the options I found was mounting a remote file system locally via sshfs. It did have a few problems with connection stability, but it worked fine overall.

    I solved a few problems with some optimizations via command-line parameters. The final command looked somewhat like this.

    -
    sshfs remotehost:/remote/directory/ ~/local/directory -oauto_cache,reconnect,Ciphers=arcfour,Compression=no
-

    This increased the overall speed and removed sluggishness while editing.

    This increased the overall speed and removed sluggishness while editing.

    The problem with sshfs is it’s speed. Any operation requiring a disk scan was unbearably slow. So I couldn’t run commands like locate, grep, and magit via Emacs.

    Projectile was usable after (setq projectile-enable-caching t) though.

    Option III: Mounting Rem It works by executing all commands which ran inside a directory mounted on sshfs on the remote host directly. So, heavy disk operations become very fast as the remote server is doing all the heavy lifting.

    To run any command such as git directly on remote all I had to do was

    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: .
