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.

  • 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 :)

I was wondering how could get the newest Sun’s JDK on my Ubuntu as debian package. Found a solution from Martin Fowler’s website as article named DebianJava. You need to make the package yourself but it was quite simple and the article is thoroughl. So go have fun with your JDK install \o/
