GPO to set wallpapers 8 weeks 3 days ago

I'm searching for a solution to restrict my active directory users, so that they can set a desktop wallpaper from only from a selection of 5 differnt pictures.

I am to the point where I think that maybe something is not working right. Here is what I did (following logic and then confirming this with an ubuntu 12.4 help page). 1) Right click on desktop, choose "Change desktop background".

hi,I am afraid I can't help with that specific nitrogen-folder issue...but I can tell you how what works for me: I let nitrogen read files only from its default folder (~/images/wallpapers) and I just create a symlink of my new wallpaper file into that folder:ln -s /full/path/to/the/image/wall.jpg /home/yourusername/images/wallpapers/wall_symlink.jpgand than select the new wallpaper from nitr

When I select weather wallpaper option I'm able to search and find my location but once I click Apply goes back to default wallpaper. I performed searches on this but haven't found any information. Is there a plugin I'm missing?
