Forgot which wallpaper this was...

Can someone remember which wallpaper is on this screenshot? I had it some time ago, I want to use it again, but I was unable to find it anywhere on my N900 (even checked themes folders). It's some snowy mountains, and it spans all 4 desktops very smoothly.

It's called alpine. The problem is that CSSU has another program called alpine (a mail reader I think), which is over-riding it. It may or may not be in the repos any more. :P

Seems to be a cropped version of this image:

Wasn't there an app with this in it (along with a bunch of other panoramas)?
If I get around to pulling mine out, I think it has it. Prizm or something like that. I might have a .deb of it somewhere. I think the owners of it gave it away for free after a while.

No.. really folks.. It's alpine. It's even in the OVI store.

But as noted, alpine is also the name of a mail reader that's now in extras repos, so there's a name conflict. I know this because I have the theme installed, and all the app update tools keep wanting me to "upgrade" it to the more recent version, which is in fact a mail reader and not a theme...

So probably
Code:

sudo gainroot
apt-get install alpine=1.0.1

should fetch it. But then no more automatic upgrades for you :( You will always have to upgrade the packages one by one.

Interesting. Guess the Alpine mail client did indeed override it when I installed it. So if I get the theme back, the theme will overwrite the client? :) (frankly I'm just looking for the wallpaper, I'm satisfied with my current theme otherwise)

in FAM you have a "ban" functionality
simply ban the version(s) of alpine that are that #@$%& mail program
like there aren't 'nough other mail programs around :rolleyes:

in HAM you have to add a file
Code:

block.list
just not sure where that would have to go :eek:

Download the file to your device extract it to some folder, then copy the image to use as your backgrouund.
Code:

sudo gainroot
apt-get install alpine=1.0.1 -dy
mkdir /home/user/MyDocs/alpine
dpkg -x /var/cache/apt/archives/alpine_1.0.1.deb /home/user/MyDocs/alpine
cp  /home/user/MyDocs/alpine/opt/themes/alpine/backgrounds/wallpaper*.jpg /home/user/MyDocs/alpine

Then clean up
Code:

rm -rf /home/user/MyDocs/alpine/opt
rm /home/user/MyDocs/alpine/wallpaper.jpg

Configure your desktops to use the wallpaper, which you might want to rename to reflect the origin, to not remove them accidentally.

Successful til dpkg line, as /var/cache/apt/archives doesn't contain alpine_1.0.1.deb. Where did it put it?
