Hello and welcome.

Run the following command in a terminal window:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -m

...and then change the background using the Settings Manager > Desktop.

Note the information that is displayed in the terninal window. This will let you know the path that you need to use instead of "/backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-path". The command you've typed in is for an earlier version of xfdesktop.

Hi Toz thank you much , this works really well the new command with your help looks like this:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/workspace0/last-image -s path/image


works perfectly thanks
