I wrongly deleted some ambiences from Gallery instead of removing them from Ambience pane (left/right swipe). I also tried reinstalling this two packages
devel-su pkcon install jolla-gallery-ambience jolla-preload-ambiences
but I could not see original ambiences anymore. Is there a way to restore them (I do not want to download the images in my gallery)? I looked through TJO but didn't find any mention.
Thanks

I also unintentionally deleted one ambience and wanted to restore it. Trying to reinstall the packages didn't work.
However, removing and installing again the packages worked! In terminal (devel-su):
pkcon remove jolla-gallery-ambience jolla-preload-ambiences
pkcon install jolla-gallery-ambience jolla-preload-ambiences
At this point, the gallery ambiences is empy. Also had to shutdown the phone.
shutdown -h now
After restarting the phone, the ambiences were back! Hope that it will work for you.
Your don't need to reinstall ambience packages. To restore an ambience who is still present in /usr/share/ambience but removed from the Gallery app, you just have to delete your ambience config. Before removing files, you can keep a backup if you want and then, do as root with terminal in nemo home directory: rm .local/share/system/privileged/Ambienced/ambienced.sqlite*Someone shared this link here https://together.jolla.com/question/36946/how-to-list-custom-ambiences/#comment-36947, then reboot to refresh Gallery ambiences.

Did you try reboot after reinstallation ? or run tjid command as root: systemctl-user restart ambienced.service
and you be able to see them in gallery.

magullo ( 2014-11-19 11:23:54 +0200 )editI guess it is some problem with a configuration. I accidentally deleted a default ambience (via Gallery) too, but it still was in the /usr/share/ambience/ folder. Unfortunatly I could not make it reappear either, yet.

Here's what I did to get all the preloaded ambiences back (which I purposely deleted some time ago).
I did this just now and it works for me on Uitukka 1.1.0.39;
In Terminal, (devel-su)
pkcon install jolla-preload-ambiencesenterthen;
pkcon updateenter - this one may take a while, it may not, let it do its thing, follow any prompts.After you have closed Terminal, shut the phone OFF, not reboot, but OFF (I tried rebooting, but it didn't work, so to power off is best) - Power back on, go to Ambience in Gallery and the preloaded ambiences should be present, they are for me.
