*grins* This one took some time today… It has dependencies which aren’t told you before you run it from the console *shrug*. This is how I got it to work in Ubuntu Breezy Badger (installed the preview, but now I’ve updating it from the devel repo):
- At first, it uses /usr/dict/words as its default source for search words: In Ubuntu the one is in /usr/share/dict , but no it’s not the words file you are looking for. It’s either /usr/share/dict/british-english , /usr/share/dict/american-english or what ever language you want it to use.
- You can set this one from the System->Preferences->Screensaver->Select WebCollage screensaver->Settings…->Advanced >>->Command line
- It propably says: webcollage -root . Replace it with: webcollage -root -dictionary /usr/share/dict/british-english (or whatever language you want it to use).
- After this click OK
- Then go to System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager
- Install netpbm and libjpeg-progs packages
- There you should be set to go if you have internet connection
Now you can just click preview and if images start to appear, you were succesful.
