Linux, cannot set background

[codemonkeybr]

using the background example, gives me an error about setting up the background, because it downloads but the wallpaper doesnt change.

`~ reddit-background --download-directory /home/tesso/reddit-backgrounds/images/
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/reddit-background", line 1009, in main() File "/usr/bin/reddit-background", line 1006, in main desktop.set_background(paths[0]) File "/usr/bin/reddit-background", line 507, in set_background _OS_HANDLER.set_background(path, num=self.num) File "/usr/bin/reddit-background", line 190, in set_background if subprocess.call(cmd): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 523, in call return Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs).wait() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 711, in init errread, errwrite) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1343, in _execute_child raise child_exception OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I have the exact same issue on ubuntu 17.10

Install the feh package. On Ubuntu run sudo apt install feh and on Arch it should be sudo pacman -S feh but it's been a while since I've been on Arch.

Note that doing that made the error go away for me but it still doesn't change the background for me on Ubuntu 18.04.
