Description John Duchek 2014-03-31 14:57:30 CEST
Description of problem:
Note: I am running Fedora 20 linux.

About 3-4 weeks ago (now Mar 31) my desktop on a multiple monitor system went black.  Each monitor used to display a separate image as wallpaper, changing every 2 hours.  One can run the program and it accepts the settings, but the screens never change.  If I log out then log back in the screens show the blue pattern that was shown on the login screen.  Other than that, black. I feel like I have unauthenticated Windoze running ;-)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.10.2


How reproducible:
every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot up computer
2.both monitors show black screen
3.

Actual results:
black screen

Expected results:
chosen wallpaper for each monitor

Is xfdesktop running? Maybe it crashed at startup? Can you check your log files from messages about xfdesktop?

Marking resolved due to lack of response. Feel free to reopen if it happens again.
