I suspect that imagemagick is not drawing on the right X11 layer but I (and google) cannot figure out what the right option is.Ĭould the problem be with either the xorg configuration or with window composition?Įdit: Added a bounty since either no one is interested or no one knows.įinally, here is the full command I use in debug mode: $ display -window root -geometry '-0-0' -resize '1920x1080>' -debug X11 /media/MediaVault/Images/Wallpapers//347852_1257250176_large.jpg Note that the same problem exists if I run gnome-terminal and set its transparency. When I use the transparancy (-tr) option on urxvt, I get the Ubuntu X login screen background (The pink/purple one) and not the image that is currently on the root window. So we can do the edits in the accepted answer and start using ghostscript again to convert to pdf with ImageMagick convert.I use Ubuntu Natty, urxvt (with 256 colours), and Imagemagick (display -window root ) to set the root window to a picture. There are details for fine tuning in the manual man img2pdfĮdit: There is a solution now, ghostscript is new enough in my computers, and I think in most up to date Linux operating systems:Īdditional info: be sure, you have installed GhostScript >= 9.26.Īfter that you can play around with policy.xml

Install img2pdf from the repository 'universe' sudo apt install img2pdfĪnd run the following command line to create a pdf file with several pictures corresponding to the question or something similar for other cases, img2pdf -out out.pdf Blatt1.jpg Blatt2.jpg Blatt3.jpg Blatt4.jpg

Import the pictures into LibreOfffice and save the document.I suggest that you work around the problem,

Because of a known bug with security implications, the conversion to pdf is disabled in ImageMagick convert.
