Ahoy sailors,

My ambiance is stuck, I can't change them, when it happen, I've got a "unhandled page fault".

That's boring.

I know it's only a configuration issue, because when switch my $HOME to a default configuration I can change ambiance.

As I REALLY don't want to reconfigure all my apps and all my accounts, I wanted to know how I can reset the ambiance configuration.

What I tried :

  • reinstall Snow White (because I see it mentioned before the page fault) but it only wipe all non-favourite ambiance from the gallery

  • Move my .local/share/system/privileged/Ambienced to another location to force create a new one. The "Ambiance" section in Gallery disapear. I try create a few ones but only the first one is created, automaticaly applied and now I'm stuck with an ugly album cover as Ambiance. The Ambiance section in gallery only appear after a reboot

  • use the default .local/share/system/privileged/Ambienced in my $HOME. But it doesn't work. It simply don't. I still have an ugly album cover as ambiance and still no possibility to change it. But I was able to create a new ambiance with another ugly album cover (yes....). Just once. I can't edit it or remove it but I can add it to favourite and change settings of all my favourite.

Any idea ?

If I can go back to default config with the ones in /usr/share/, I'll be happy.

I know this is an easy answer to give, but a full reset may be better than spending hours trying to diagnose and fix the fault.

It's seems better to me to spend hours to fix a problem than loose data and take days trying to have a fully fonctionnal smartphone.
