i am having problem with feh in i3 with background
backgorund is being set by feh correctly....yes
problem: it does not follow the time limits (set to 1 minute) . some images remain in bg for less time( 1 or 2 secs), some last longer (5 to 10 secs)
my settings
=======
i am using a shell script for setting timed backgrounds with feh
my ~/wallpaper.sh has:
#!/bin/bash
while true; do
find ~/.wallpaper -type f \( -name '*.jpg' -o -name '*.png' \) -print0 |
shuf -n1 -z | xargs -0 feh --no-fehbg --bg-max
sleep 1m
done
i also added following line to my ~/.i3/config
exec --no-startup-id ~/wallpaper.sh

problem is solved by just shutting down my laptop and turning it on again. i dont know the reason what was the problem before and why it was resolved like this.

What display manager are you using? I use this same script (assume it's on the wiki) and I notice that just running the process this way will leave it running even if you log out. What ended up happening is I had several sleeps going that would change the wallpaper. What I do now is have a wrapper script that calls wallpaper.sh first checking to see if the process is already running and then killing it. Probably not the cleanest way of doing it, but it works.
