The option to"Choose Wallpaper" in Control Center is disabled. Everything else seems to work fine. My desktop is an ugly grey but everything works OK.

Did you move (remove) the wallpaper file that you had set?
If so you can either
A) move another to the same location with the same name
B) open ~/.antix-session/wallpaper-list (~/.desktop-session/wallpaper-list) and change the file name to a valid picture for the session you are running.

If either option above does not work could you specify what version you are using and try running wallpaper.py in terminal posting anything that shows up here?

Dave:
I am using AntiX 13.2 stable.

This is what I got:

wallpaper.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File"/usr/local/bin/wallpaper.py", line 523, in <module>
Var().read()
File"/usr/local/bin/wallpaper.py", line 68, in read
with open(var.USER_HOME+"/.antix-session/desktop-code"+var.DISPLAY,"r") as f:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/root/.antix-session/desktop-code:0.0'

If I attempt solution B), exactly how do I do that, in terminal?

Ah okay in the output if says you are missing the configuration file. However it also says that you are running as root ... Is there a reason for this?

If you really must run as root for some reason or another you will need for copy / etc / skel /.antix-session to root's home folder.

If you really must run as root for some reason or another you will need for copy / etc / skel /.antix-session to root's home folder.

Perhaps if the previous wallpaper files were saved in a user home folder and this work is being done from root, that accounts for the difference.

Another question to ask would be to run the same program from the user account and see if the result is the same or different, and that may help figure out what is really going on.

Here is the comments without running in root:

glib.GError: Failed to open file '/media/KINGSTON-2/mount-fuji.jpg': No such file or directory

Re: last line"Failed to open file '/media/KINGSTON-2/mount-fuji.jpg': No such file or directory"
That may have something to do with the fact that just before my wallpaperpers crashed I had loaded up an image of Mount Fuji as wallpaper from my usb. Next time I booted up- no wallpaper.

Is there any way I can re-enable my"Choose Wallpaper" option in my CC, or is that dead and gone?
I reloaded my two favorite wallpapers into the Desktop/wallpapers file but I still don't get anywhere.

Open rox-filer as user, go to the hidden .antix-session/wallpaper-list (~/.desktop-session/wallpaper-list) and change the name of the wallpaper to a valid picture for the session you are running. Or make sure they all point to /usr/share/wallpaper/AntiX-Delight.jpg and then logout and login again.
