On a slimmed down installation I have installed Nitrogen.
I can launch it and it lists the backgrounds just fine. When I select an image and click apply I get this
So I reckon I am missing something.
So searching - the only answer I find is useless
rm -r ~/.config/nitrogen
Searching the packages on similar working systems gives me no clue to what I am missing.
Hm. No issue here. Are you using two screens?
Yes I am
Your question begged me to
And then I get no error
Edit
Improvement has been made as it seems the activation of two monitors using below command makes nitrogen trigger the error.
xrandr --output VIRTUAL1 --off --output DP2 --off --output DP1 --off --output HDMI2 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1920x0 --rotate normal --output HDMI1 --primary --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --output VGA1 --off
Removing the command from openbox autostart removes the error and makes nitrogen work as expected. Instead of using xrandr to set the xinerama I use xfce4-settings and then nitrogen generates no errors and it is possible to set different wallpapers for each output.
Interesting. Seems to be a bug of nitrogen - I see you have opened a bugreport there, seems the right move
