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 /usr/bin/electricsheep --zoom 1 --root 1" at /usr/local/bin/sheepscreen. In /usr/share/applications/screensavers/electricsheep.desktop/electricsheep.desktop I changed the values to "TryExec=sheepscreen Exec=sheepscreen" sheepterm runs fine from a terminal. However, sheepscreen launched from gnome-screensaver is still blank. -- Recent changes seem to have broken electricsheep https://launchpad.net/bugs/5823 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
