Crashes on GNOME

See original GitHub issue

I get this error when I run

wallpaper.get().then(console.log)

Error:

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error: Command failed: gsettings get org.cinnamon.desktop.background picture-uri
No such schema 'org.cinnamon.desktop.background'

First I thought it was a bug on my fork, so I tried pulling from your repo, and then I tried installing the package from npm again. Same problem, my guess is that the command for Cinnamon somehow replaces the command for GNOME (probably because they both use gsettings).

@fa7ad As you may have already figured out, it iterates over the list and picks the last valid cmd. Moving the block would break it for “cinnamon” environment.

Your “feature proposal” is a valid workaround but wouldn’t make it an out of the box solution (environment agnostic).

Just a few ideas:

gsettings list-schemas | grep desktop.background to list all possibilities.
gsettings writable org.(gnome|cinnamon).desktop.background picture-uri with an expected stdout of true.
