Bing Wallpapers For Linux
This enables bing wallpaper on linux, specifically debian based distros.
Supported Desktop Environments
- Gnome
- Cinnamon
- Unity
- Xfce
Installation Instruction (Ubuntu, Mint and other Debian based distros)
This should be simple.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:whizzzkid/bingwallpaper
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bingwallpaper
Using Script directly.
Just download or clone this repo. Run:
$ bingwallpaper
But this would keep on running as we check every 3 hours for new wallpaper. So it's better to do it this way:
$ bingwallpaper &>/dev/null &
Run Once
To update the wallpaper only once (Instead of checking every 3 hours), Run:
$ bingwallpaper -1
Setting Up Cron
To setup regular checks for new wallapers, edit crontab for the current user, using:
$ crontab -u $USER -e
, and add this line:
0 */6 * * * bingwallpaper -1 > /dev/null 2>&1
This will run every 6 hours. You can use this link for reference.
Note: If you installed this package from apt, then disable the startup script setup by default. Go to startup applications and remove 'bingwallpaper'
