Reviewing previous customizations
I´m going through many of the previous customizations from the previous stable release:
- Day two - Configuring Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 "squeeze"
- Day three - Configuring Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 "squeeze"
- Day five - Configuring Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 "squeeze"
- Errata - Configuring Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 "squeeze"
Looks like XFCE ships without the cosmos screensaver...
- Unfortunately, gnome-screensaver, which has the cosmos screensaver, requires gnome-session
- Just for fun, I installed all the xscreensaver options:
- sudo apt-get install xscreensaver-data xscreensaver-data-extra xscreensaver-gl xscreensaver-gl-extra rss-glx
- To configure xscreensaver to display a slideshow of images:
- Applications Menu > Settings > Screensaver
- Mode = Only One Screen Saver
- Screen Saver = GLSlideshow
- Blank After = 30 minutes
- Cycle After = 3 minutes
- Select button ¨Settings¨
- Select button "Advanced"
- Command Line =
glslideshow -root -delay 84615 -duration 17 -zoom 100 -pan 17 -fade 3 -fps - Letterbox = Checked, everything else unchecked
- Select button ¨OK¨ to return to the main window
- Select tab ¨Advanced¨
- Select checkbox ¨Choose Random Image¨ and set to
/usr/share/backgrounds/cosmos - Uncheck ¨Grab Desktop Images¨
- It appears all my old cosmos images got deleted though...so I chose to get them back manually:
- cd /usr/share/backgrounds/cosmos
- sudo wget https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-screensaver/plain/data/images/cosmos/blue-marble-west.jpg?id=2.91.90 -O blue-marble-west.jpg
- sudo wget https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-screensaver/plain/data/images/cosmos/cloud.jpg?id=2.91.90 -O cloud.jpg
- sudo wget https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-screensaver/plain/data/images/cosmos/comet.jpg?id=2.91.90 -O comet.jpg
- sudo wget https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-screensaver/plain/data/images/cosmos/earth-horizon.jpg?id=2.91.90 -O earth-horizon.jpg
- sudo wget https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-screensaver/plain/data/images/cosmos/galaxy-ngc3370.jpg?id=2.91.90 -O galaxy-ngc3370.jpg
- sudo wget https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-screensaver/plain/data/images/cosmos/helix-nebula.jpg?id=2.91.90 -O helix-nebula.jpg
- sudo wget https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-screensaver/plain/data/images/cosmos/jupiter.jpg?id=2.91.90 -O jupiter.jpg
- sudo wget https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-screensaver/plain/data/images/cosmos/sombrero.jpg?id=2.91.90 -O sombrero.jpg
- sudo wget https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-screensaver/plain/data/images/cosmos/whirlpool.jpg?id=2.91.90 -O whirlpool.jpg
- All that work, because, as I said before, ...Carl Sagan...Cosmos
