basically lost all the wallpapers that i've downloaded using desktop settings in kubuntu. does anyone know where they install to as i want to create a slideshow of the wallpapers instead of having to change the image manually.

thanks

btw: have tried using the search app

If they're not in /usr/share/backgrounds, right-click on your background to get the filename, then:

Code:
sudo updatedb ; locate filename.jpg


It may take a while...
