Gimp should work. You can install with sudo apt-get install gimp. I can't think of any reason it would not work other than you are dealing with some weird proprietary file format in which case, just make a screenshot of the wallpaper and bring it up in gimp.

  • Doesn't get much eaiser than gimp. You could pay someone I suppose. Oh, there is ImageMagick, but the command line options to annotate an image will likely leave you with a headache.

flock() on closed filehandle LOCK_FILE at /usr/bin/apt-mirror

Image
0 I recently upgraded an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine to 18.04. I regularly use this VM to run apt-mirror at school on their high-speed internet, then rsync these files to my rack-mount server at home for updating multiple computers at home without wasting the tiny amount of bandwidth I have there. Since updating I can't get apt-mirror to run on my VM. It keeps giving the error: flock() on closed filehandle LOCK_FILE at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 214 immediately followed by: apt-mirror is already running, exiting at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 217 apt-mirror is NOT running, and does not have a cron job.
