Package: xscreensaver Version: 5.15-3 Severity: normal As reported elsewhere (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/1116006 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827771), it's somewhat difficult to convince xscreensaver to use an image feed URL as an image source (one needs to edit .xscreensaver and never run xscreensaver-settings).
eg. it turns http://www.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=84141057@N00 into http:/www.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=84141057@N00 ...and then complains it can't load any images: michael@toshtosh:~$ /usr/lib/xscreensaver/carousel carousel: font -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-240-* does not exist, using -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-180-* carousel: font -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-180-* does not exist, using fixed carousel: unable to load font "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-240-*", using "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-240-*" carousel: unable to load font "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-240-*", using "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-180-*" carousel: unable to load font "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-180-*", using "fixed" xscreensaver-getimage-file: not an RSS or Atom feed: http:/www.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=84141057@N00 xscreensaver-getimage-file: not an RSS or Atom feed: http:/www.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=84141057@N00 xscreensaver-getimage-file: not an RSS or Atom feed: http:/www.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=84141057@N00 xscreensaver-getimage-file: not an RSS or Atom feed: http:/www.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=84141057@N00 xscreensaver-getimage-file: not an RSS or Atom feed: http:/www.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=84141057@N00 xscreensaver-getimage-file: not an RSS or Atom feed: http:/www.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=84141057@N00 xscreensaver-getimage-file: not an RSS or Atom feed: http:/www.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=84141057@N00 (and shows a carousel full of xscreensaver logos) To be certain, I edited .xscreensaver to put the / back in, and I get my Flickr stream, which lasts until next time I run xscreensaver-settings. (As an aside, I'm tempted to suggest adding a Recommends or Suggests for the package containing xfonts matching '*-medium-r-*-140-*-m-*', or at least change the default font (eg. to 'fixed') :P) -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xscreensaver depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 2.4.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libcairo2 1.12.2-3 ii libfontconfig1 2.9.0-7.1 ii libfreetype6 2.4.9-1.1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.1-1 ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.33.12+really2.32.4-5 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.10-2 ii libice6 2:1.0.8-2 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-7.1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.0-1 ii libsm6 2:1.2.1-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.5.0-1+deb7u1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.1-2+deb7u1 ii libxi6 2:1.6.1-1+deb7u1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.2-1+deb7u1 ii libxml2 2.8.0+dfsg1-7+nmu1 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.1-1 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.10-1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.3.2-2+deb7u1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.7-1+deb7u1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.3-1+deb7u1 ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.1.2-1+deb7u1 ii xscreensaver-data 5.15-3 Versions of packages xscreensaver recommends: ii libjpeg-progs 8d-1 ii perl [perl5] 5.14.2-21 ii wamerican [wordlist] 7.1-1 Versions of packages xscreensaver suggests: ii chromium [www-browser] 27.0.1453.110-1~deb7u1 ii fortune-mod [fortune] 1:1.99.1-4 pn gdm3 | kdm-gdmcompat <none> pn qcam | streamer <none> ii xdaliclock 2.36+debian-1 ii xfishtank 2.2-26 ii xscreensaver-gl 5.15-3 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
