Re: [ubuntu-uk] 3D OpenGL screensaver (or running Picassa screensaver on Gnome)
Hi there, under System/preferences/screensaver there is a screen saver called F-Spot Photos. Within F-Spot photo manager tag some photos as favorites... These will be shown in the screensaver Hope this helps :) irc: selinuxium 2009/2/25 Rob Beard > On 25/02/2009 17:09, Mark Fraser wrote: > > On Wednesday 25 February 2009 16:58:24 Rob Beard wrote: > > > >> Hi folks, > >> > >> A client of mine (a radio station) has got a PC attached to a plasma TV > >> which goes through a collection of pictures of events that they have > >> been to.

Not really a screensaver, but DigiKam has an advanced slideshow tool which allows all sorts of OpenGL transitions between photos and can be set to loop and shuffle photos. -- Registered Linux User #466407 http://counter.li.org -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] 3D OpenGL screensaver (or running Picassa screensaver on Gnome)
Hi folks, A client of mine (a radio station) has got a PC attached to a plasma TV which goes through a collection of pictures of events that they have been to. At the moment they are using the basic pictures screensaver which just works apart from the fact it doesn't have any fancy effects. Now the programme controller is really into anything and everything Google (Chrome, Picassa, etc) and he's asked if it's possible to setup some fancy transitions between the pictures (the Google Screensaver zooms in and fades nicely between the pictures). I just wondered if anyone know if there was anything for Ubuntu (or Kubuntu) that did the same? If not, does anyone know how to get the xscreensavers working instead of the built in Gnome screen savers (I see there is an OpenGL pictures screensaver built in), or if it's possible to tell the Gnome Screensaver to run a script as a screensaver (from what I gather this is the only way apart from using the xscreensaver to get the Picassa screensaver with OpenGL working on Ubuntu).
