Why? Just make backup using built-in software, re-flash and then restore the backup. Takes about 30mins and nothing is lost

I would be very interested how OP got that swipe theme on his/hers N900.

Installing package from extras OR installing packages from testing/devel.

Can't see where you did ls...

Maybe try it one dir-depth after another like
Code:
keysat:/opt/usr/share/themes$ ls -a
.                   Default             MurrinaNightOrange  alpha               beta
..                  Emacs               Raleigh             array               default
keysat:/opt/usr/share/themes$ cd array
keysat:/opt/usr/share/themes/array$ cd backgrounds
keysat:/opt/usr/share/themes/array/backgrounds$
If that still doesn't work, try ls as well in dthemeunderc... It should show backgrounds there.

Cheers,

mikki-kun

P.S.: Also, another way could be to reinstall the theme. Deinstall, turn off (Am not sure if that really helps, but I'd do it), turn on, reinstall, turn off (so that certain theme-files are loaded), turn on, voilá.

Mikku:

i am really thankfull to you for trying to help me out with this prob. but as you know im totally a noob with linux. so i did ls-a and this is what i got. i am pasting it here, so jus tell me command line which i shud follow from typing 'root' in terminal. Btw i tried uninstalling and reinstalling but doesnt work btw the page for the swipe does appear sometimes the way the theme swipe page should look like but sometimes it doesn't. its a weird prob man...anyway after doing ls-a

i have a similar problem:
since PR1.2, the swipe-screen-background is that of the default 1.2-wallpaper (that blurred out green scenery)

but when i check the lockslider.png, its the blue water-splash nokia one!
thats a problem!!

Could you find a solution for that MSA?

zaedej:

Please try in /opt/usr/share/themes/

Code:

cd dthemeunderc-themedir

That should do the trick from what I see. It is important to also include everything you can see there, even after dthemeunderc. One small trick is to use "TAB" which autocompletes either commands or directory/file-names. Sometimes you need to press Tab twice fast in a row so that it works.
So you could do it like:

Code:

 cd dthemeu[TAB]

and that should complete your directory's name. Tab should be located on the lower bar of the xterm where you should also see Esc, Ctrl and so on

Don't loose your cool and I am happy to see you try different approaches. Trust me, if you progress like that you will get better after time

*Remembers his first tries with Linux back a few years*

If you really wanna give Linux a shot and see it in full operation mode (The N900 is like a premade package for me, still I love it) you should try a LiveDVD of one of the Lunuxdistributions around. A nice collection of the major ones can be found here.

Thanks alot for your support Mikki- Kun.

Ok tell me if I am getting this wrong. So, should I put the comman

/opt/usr/share/themes/

Then put "cd dthemeunderc-themedir" Or do I have to put 'root' first.
Secondly when i put "/opt/usr/share/themes/" command after opening terminal it shows "permission denied."

Let me know. I wanna nail it down.

Code:

sudo gainroot
cd /opt/usr/share/themes/
cd dthemeunderc-themedir
cd backgrounds
mv lockslider.png lockslider.png.orig
cp wallpaper1.png lockslider.png

That should do the trick

A small sidenote... If you only put a path without anything else it will assume you want that "executed" but there is nothing to execute, therefore it can't get it done.

Hopefully that helps

Thank you so much. Can you please explain what I just did? And do I need to do it for all themes, whenever I change them?
