Setting the desktop background (wallpaper) in Linux Kodachi Live


Does anybody know how to set a custom desktop background programmatically with a bash script?

That is not "programmatically" from a terminal.
I've tried the command "gsettings" which works with other live OS but not with Linux Kodachi.
I would welcome any command or script that could achieve that goal.

So you have a command that works in one Linux-based OS, but not in Kodachi?

Then raise an issue with Kodachi.

More info about your Kodachi setup?
Or are you just waiting for an experienced Kodachi user to chime in?
