As mentioned at

, it just doesn't seem to do anything other than spawn some processes
that strace show doing nothing but waiting. This is on Hardy.

On Feisty, if I use 'exec' in the script, everything works fine, but
moving the mouse or hitting a key does not bring up the password dialog.
I have to switch to a console and manually kill the process. If I

I just noticed that if I turn compiz off (I had it enabled before), I
don't get the black boxes on screen, so it's probably not related to the
'exec' line.

Loki: There's no easy way to get electricsheep running on edgy. Sorry.
About that beryl idea: You should direct that idea to the original
electricsheep developers.

gnome-screensaver restarts the thing every 10 minutes - this setting can
be changed with gconftool in
/apps/gnome-screensaver/cycle_delay
Also, make sure that you 'exec' the electricsheep process in the
esheep.sh script - termination will be handled properly.

Well, it does work for the most part, but it stacks up over time. It's
almost like gnome-screensaver is firing off the esheep.sh script every
10 minutes (the current limit I have set) and the result is ultimately
several iterations of electricsheep running on top of one another. After

I'm the current flam3 developer, working with Spot on the screensaver
stuff. I'm sure he'd be interested if you've been able to get this
working - I followed your instructions (currently running Dapper) but I
couldn't get it work - esheep.sh isn't in the path if it's in gnome-

I was able to get the screensaver running under Dapper by putting the
esheep.sh file above into the /usr/lib/xscreensaver directory. I'm
curious if Edgy moves these files into gnome-screensaver/gnome-

Many thanks for this information. Other than the
I took the time to sit down and work through this on relatively clean
installs of Ubuntu 6.10 and Debian Etch.
Currently the Edgy electricsheep package puts .desktop files in the following
locations
/usr/share/control-center/Desktop/
/usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/
/usr/share/gnome-screensaver/themes was dropped upstream with the start of the
2.15 development version, the generic place for all screensavers is now
/usr/share/applications/screensavers
(debian etch has an older gnome than edgy)
the electrisheep package needs updating to use that path

Got it working. What's I missed before was that the executable in
electricsheep.desktop has to be in /usr/lib/gnome-screensaver/gnome-
screensaver/. When drawing on the root window you don't need

cat /usr/lib/gnome-screensaver/gnome-screensaver/esheep.sh

Hi,
Tried:
XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 /usr/bin/electricsheep --zoom 1 --root 1
but it doesn't work for me.
I've got an ATI X1600 and running gnome-screensaver. I get the sheep in
the top left hand corner as a box, bu the rest of the screen is black.
I've also got

I emailed the developer a link to this bug report and received this
reply:
thanks for the email -- unless someone tells me i don't
see these things. i don't have ubuntu, and so i can't
really debug this. i think it's a problem with the X
server or something, as electric sheep hasn't changed

The same workaround proposed for bug #14911 works for electricsheep
To get it working, I created a wrapper script at
/usr/local/bin/sheepterm with the contents XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
/usr/bin/electricsheep.
I created another one for the screensaver XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
I'm experiencing this on a Radeon 9200 and 9700 with 2.6.8-2ubuntu1.
There is only a blank screen when electricsheep is run by gnome-
screensaver regardless of whether the --root 1 or --mplayer 1 flags are
included in the .desktop file. Electricsheep runs from a terminal if the

Got the same problem. electricsheep runs just fine, but the

BUMP: still seeing this exact same issue on Dapper Drake, system up to
date 08/27/06.
I have an NVIDIA FX 5200 using Ubuntu binary nvidia package.
I have this problem (blank screen nothing renders) regardless of whether
I use the ubuntu electricsheep pkg (2.6.6) or download and compile my
own
More info:
Was reading on another a href=http://fuxoft.blogspot.com/2006/06
/nvidia-and-mplayer-dont-like-electric.htmlthread/a... One way I was
able to get ElectricSheep working was:
1. apt-get install mplayer
2.open mplayer in my X session manually and leave it running
3. start electricsheep
Is this still a problem? (i merged electricsheep yesterday)

Yes, this has continued to be a problem ever since Dapper work started.
Warty and Breezy worked wonderfully for me but Dapper and now Edgy continue
to fail. It's related, I believe, to ATI cards... though again, xscreensaver
worked perfectly with it, and gnome-screensaver does not, and like this
Sarah: I'm not running edgy, so I haven't seen any updated packages.
Matt: I'm definitely seeing this on an ATi card, but I think I've seen it on my
home machine too (nVidia). I'll check.

I am seeing this too. if I run electricsheep on its own it appears fine
in a window, if I pass it --root 1 I just see some flickering on the
desktop, but no errors from it. When it is launched from gnome-
screensaver I see this in ~/.xsession-errors:
