Using Kali Linux VMware Workstation (older version, updated using apt command line), updating the lockscreen wallpaper/background can be changed automatically. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
- First, ensure you have the necessary dependencies installed:
sudo apt-get install feh
- Next, create a new directory for your background images:
mkdir ~/Backgrounds
- Now, download your preferred background images and save them in the newly created directory. For example:
wget https://example.com/image1.jpg -P ~/Backgrounds/
wget https://example.com/image2.jpg -P ~/Backgrounds/
- Create a script to cycle through the images:
nano ~/.config/autostart/change-background.desktop
- Add the following content to the file:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=bash -c "/usr/bin/feh --randomize --bg-fill ~/Backgrounds/*"
Hidden=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name=Change Background
-
Save and close the file.
-
To make the changes take effect, restart your Kali Linux VM.
Now, your lockscreen wallpaper/background should be updated automatically, cycling through the images in the ~/Backgrounds directory.
