Bleadof’s world of tinkering

*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.

There’s a bug(15932) in it which inflicts these problems:

• Some devices aren’t created on the boot. Like /dev/input/mice or /dev/psaux
• ipw2200 driver can’t load it’s firmware

Best solution is to downgrade to udev 0.060-1ubuntu12 (propably still in your /var/cache/apt/archives/udev_0.060-1ubuntu12_i386.deb)

Now I’m off to conclude my TODO list
