All dvd-slideshow and co. do is to resize images (that's a one liner with
imagemagick's convert tool) and then join them to compose a video file,
muxing it with the chosen audio tracks. You can easily do that with ffmpeg,

Is it possible to create slide show (pictures) on USB stick and play on a TV?
In the past I've used "dvd-slideshow" but that is a bit of work. I had to
re-size the pictures add background music etc.
DVD only holds 4GB
USB sticks have larger capacity.

Thanks for you reply Mark.
The way you put it makes sense. I guess the option is whether I would like

Hi all,
I'm having an issue with the Slim Login Manager and it's AutoLogin feature.
With the AutoLogin flag set to "no", when I login, gnome-keyring unlocks

However, when the AutoLogin flag is set to "yes", Evolution invokes
gnome-keyring to a
