Use your favorite video as an animated background in Ubuntu | Howto
This is a gallery where you will find nature and landscape dreamscene loops, like animated Waterfalles, Mountains, Beaches, Cities and more, you can also use your favorite video`s. so, What about using videos as animated background in your ubuntu? (Videos are in .wmv format , to use them as a background first convert them to .avi or mpg format using ffmpeg)

Now, to add a video s as animated background you will need to install a script called a-desk.
1- First we need to have some dependecies installed for a-desk like Zenity, Mplayer, unrar and rar
sudo apt-get install zenity mplayer unrar rar
2- Now download a-desk and decompress it to your home directory or other location you want
3- Now you will have this folder (Screenshot bellow) ,enter into a-desk and install xwinwrapcvs.deb or xwinwrap64.deb (Double click on the file)
![]()
4- Now execute adesk.installer
Double CLICK’S on “a-desk-installer” and choose in which language and system (32 or 64 bit) you want to install a-desk
![]()
![]()
When the installation is finished you can start the script by a right click of your mouse and choose scripts–>a-desk

Now you can run the default video “Atomic-city” or choose the video you want to use as animated background, you can also choose other videos from a-desk author
![]()
I tested this script and worked fine for me, see my Video :

After install as above, run shell script /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh manually and note lib errors still occur. I had the x64 motif loaded but had to manually install the x86 too. Got that from http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libXm.so.4 Even after that, I still had to do a “yum install alsa-lib.i686 alsa-lib.x86_64″ to resolve any additional libasound.so.2 errors. Once those two lib issues were resolved, Citix Web Interface launched apps fine by telling browser to open launch.ica using /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh. Good luck Ernesto!
