Fails to set the background image: Settings schema 'org.gnome.desktop.background' does not contain a key named 'draw-background'

It worked before, but then began to fail like this for no apparent reason:

$ /usr/local/bin/nitrogen --set-zoom /home/yuri/.cache/goesimage/latest.jpg

(nitrogen:82417): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 19:27:04.937: Settings schema 'org.gnome.desktop.background' does not contain a key named 'draw-background'
Trace/BPT trap

It looks like some package upgrades triggered the problem.

nitrogen-1.6.1 on FreeBSD 12 amd64

The current version 1.6.1-36-g545376e just crashes.

Same here, on manjaro, gnome.

$ nitrogen --set-zoom --random ~/Pictures/wallpapers/

(nitrogen:148209): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 17:29:19.790: Settings schema 'org.gnome.desktop.background' does not contain a key named 'draw-background'
fish: “nitrogen --set-zoom --random ~/…” terminated by signal SIGTRAP (Trace or breakpoint trap)

Sometimes it will set the wallpaper, sometimes it won't

First time trying to use, same issue

Ubuntu 21.10 GNOME

Gtk-Message: 14:34:44.413: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

I am experiencing the same issue. I have to change the desired wallpaper's name to that of the default one and copy it into the directory (/usr/share/wallpapers/deepin/). Need to make a script for that. Moreover, you need to re-login for this to work.

You can also directly send your wallpaper to /usr/share/backgrounds/deepin/desktop.jpg and relogin.

Same issue, but I am booted into XFCE (i have both, gnome and xfce installed)

[MrReplikant]

can confirm this issue also exists in XFCE in Debian 12
