Details

Description:

It appears that sway was compiled without gdk_pixbuf support. Therefore, it is impossible to use JPG images as wallpapers. When trying to do so, the following message is written to stderr:

> [common/background-image.c:49] Failed to read background image: out of memory.
> Sway was compiled without gdk_pixbuf support, so only
> PNG images can be loaded. This is the likely cause.

Additional info:

I am using the most recent package version, namely 1.0-1.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add 'output * bg ~/my_wallpaper.jpg fill' to your sway config.
2. Start sway.
