[Bug 31979] Re: Screensaver should allow selective random
I've been subscribed to this bug for some time now, but I should note why I'm interested. First, I have been on systems that don't have decent OpenGL support, so many of the 3D screensavers are slow on systems that completely lack 3D, and may cause the system to crash or make the console unusable on those with old/buggy 3D support. Second, many of the screensavers are simply ugly (at least by modern standards, but has anyone ever liked NoseGuy, for instance? -- no offense to anyone who actually likes NoseGuy ;-) However, for those looking at a workaround, I should note this recent comment from Tom on the watched gnome-bug #316462: BEGIN you can also edit the gconf-entry for gnome-screensaver: 1) set screensaver to random and not on a piece of paper which ones you want 2) open gconf editor and find apps/gnome-screensaver 3) edit the themes key by removing the unwanted themes http://www.gnome.org/~bmsmith/gconf-docs/C/gnome-screensaver.html good luck tom END -- Screensaver should allow selective random https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/31979 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

there is already a random from selected in the login-window, so there is no need to reinvent the wheel, just another selection-screen to be used. -- Screensaver should allow selective random https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/31979 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I can confirm. I wasn't happy when I first saw this in Dapper.
