The first things to check are:
- XPlanet is installed
Yes, the default works
- After you copied the script you made it executable ("chmod +x ...")
Done
- Make sure that the correct entry is left selected in the "Background Program" section of the "Advanced Background Settings" dialog of KDE Background Control Center section.
Yes, checked a couple times
- Make sure xplanet-local script is being executed by examining the log file it creates ($HOME/.xplanet-local-invocations).
File does not exist
Then xplanet-local is not getting executed. Based on this, I'm guessing the preview does not show XPlanet output, either. Another entry for the check list: - $HOME/bin (or whatever directory holds the xplanet-local script) is in your PATH variable. In particular, it must be in the PATH that's in effect for KDE. Did you select "No picture" in the main panel of the Background Control Center module? If not, my experience was that the selected picture obscures the dynamically generated desktop image. You might want to look for clues in $HOME/.xsession-errors.
i am at the end of my knowledge, I checked this in the first place and after you wrote, I checked again and --just a black screen!
