I've been trying "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-wallpapers-oneiric", using natty, maverick, lucid and karmic as shown in

How do I install wallpapers from older releases?

but I keep getting "can't locate the package ubuntu-wallpapers-oneiric"

Also used the info here: Where can I find all the wallpapers ever included? but there is no package to be installed and the pics are a little low res for me.

Thanks in advance!

  • You can't.. The wallpaper package is only available for Precise and Quantal. If someone possibly packages it into PPA, then you might be in for some luck. – jokerdino Aug 09 '12 at 06:56
  • Thanks! I was thinking this might be an answer since I saw the answers I posted before. Thanks for your answer and your time. – chasiscorto Aug 18 '12 at 03:05

As jokerdino mentioned , it is only available for Precise and Quantal. You can download the .deb package here.

ubuntu-wallpapers (0.31.3) lucid

  • The wallpaper package is only available for Precise and Quantal. Sorry.. – jokerdino Aug 09 '12 at 06:53
  • Than you! I've downloaded and tried to install this but, Ubuntu software center says that I have a newer version installed already... I've installed some screensavers, not wall papers. I'll try to figure it out. Thans for your answer and for your time. – chasiscorto Aug 18 '12 at 03:10

Very Easy, Booting any old version go to /user/share/backgrounds and you will find release Wallpapers of that version. Copy to USB drive and use it.

  • Thanks! This is pretty "obvious" but i did NEVER think about this. I've the boot CD's, so I'll give it a try. Thanks Ketan,for your answer and time, this seems to be the way to go for me. – chasiscorto Aug 18 '12 at 03:12
