Fisrt, you need to clone this repository :

On the next step, you have to edit wallpaper_scheduler.py :

wallpapers_path = "/absolute/path/to/your/wallpaper/folder"
seconds_interval = 5 # number of seconds before change wallpaper
minutes_interval = 0 # number of minutes before change wallpaper

On the last step, add this code on you're ~/.bashrc file and be sure to use the right path :

if pgrep -f "wallpaper_scheduler.py" &>/dev/null; then
    python3 /absolute/path/to/your/ubuntu-wallpaper-slideshow/folder/synchronize_terminal.py
else
    nohup python3 /absolute/path/to/your/ubuntu-wallpaper-slideshow/folder/wallpaper_scheduler.py >/dev/null 2>&1 &
fi

Now, you can open a new shell and let the magic happen :)
