Original Breezy Lagoon Wallpaper for Dapper

Hi,
I would like to use again as my wallpaper in Dapper (which I love) the dark, lugubrious 'original' Ubuntu Lagoon available in Breezy.... but I cannot find it anywhere. Can someone tell me where it is? (It's not in ..../share/wallpapers)
Thanks in advance,
Ant

/usr/share/backgrounds
Also, it should be available just by right clicking the desktop going to change background and selecting it in the list.

Thanks but that location (/usr/share/backgrounds) does not contain the version of the lagoon which I would like to have back....it was what I meant when I said /usr/share/wallpapers by mistake. Right clicking also brings up the same choice which does not contain the lagoon I am looking for..
Can anybody help here please? I have been looking ever since Dapper came out!
Thanks

Maybe in the ubuntu-artwork package from the breezy repo?

Thank you (and in Flemish ook dank je wel ) Ramses....please could you tell me how to access this repo (what commands to use). Am not much good at stuff like that

Do
Code:
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/ubuntu-artwork/ubuntu-artwork_0.2.27-1_all.deb
file-roller ubuntu-artwork_0.2.27-1_all.deb
Click on "data.tar.gz" (this will open a new window), then on ".", then keep clicking untill you're in "share" and there choose "backgrounds", you will then hopefully see the desired wallpapers, richt click them select extract and choose an appropriate location.

En neig om nog belgen op het forum te zien

Thank you very much once again : I will try this as soon as I can, in a few days' time (when back home in Belgium - am at present in Malta).

Hi Ramses,
Back now in Belgium
Am unable to do the second line of the code you suggested : I am told
"Could not open file-roller ubuntu-artwork_0.2.27-1_all.deb ARCHIVE TYPE NOT SUPPORTED
Could you possibly help me again?
Thanks in advance

That's strange.. it works here.

This will do it too:
Code:
dpkg-deb --extract ubuntu-artwork_0.2.27-1_all.deb lagoon
cd lagoon/usr/share/backgrounds/
mv warty-final-* ~/
cd
rm -rf lagoon
You now have two files in your home dir, warty-final-ubuntu.png and warty-final-ws-ubuntu.png (wide screen version).
I hope these are the wallpapers you were looking for.
