Is there anything native to Linux like that? I see Live Wallpaper[2] 
but it may not do the floating watermark.


OP, sorry I don't know anything about WINE. Hopefully someone who does 
can answer your question. You'll probably get more help on 
ubuntuforums.org  since your question is more

the distros.



Mark:

I use a package called: gphotoframe

You can get it at:

https://code.google.com/archive/p/gphotoframe/

This provides an automatic picture on my desktop, showing pictures from 
my photo collection at random (configured to change every 8 seconds).  
It doesn't do a watermark that I know of.  I do auto-start it.


I use the Kindle reader on Linux, using Wine.  It doesn't auto-start (I 
double-click the launcher when I want it).


The command part of the desktop launcher for the Kindle reader (the 
exec=  part), is:


env WINEPREFIX="/home/aere/.wine" wine C:Program\\ 
FilesAmazonKindleKindle.exe


The path part of the launcher is:

/home/aere/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Amazon/Kindle/content

Maybe that will give you some clues to use in making it auto-start.

Hi Mark,

There are screenlets in linux. They need a compositor in the graphics 
system. This works well in newer computers, while many old computers, 
that we keep alive with Lubuntu cannot manage it.


I may be wrong, but I don't think screenlets work well with Lubuntu's 
LXDE desktop environment as it is. I think you need to add some program 
package like compiz or something like that for that purpose.


Best regards
Nio

Hello,
I am new to Lubuntu have read as much as I can about this but
still have not mastered it. I understand very little.
Custom Desktop Logo is a little app that does not install as far
as I can work out ,just runs from the exe when I want to use it.
I would like it to run on start up.
I include a couple of pics to show where it is and what it looks
like when it is running.
Could someone give me the command for the terminal or tell me in
simple language what I need to do please to get it to start when
I boot so I can just click the little lemon icon when I need to
use it.
I am a recent escapee from microsoft and find Lubuntu for me by
far the best replacent for widows which when I have learned a
little more I am looking forward to booting into touch.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist.

Hi All,

The bug where "man mkdir" failed has now gone. man is on the path and I can
access the mkdir man page. Looks like someone has fixed it.

TTFN,

[lubuntu-users] Fwd: [lubuntu-devel] [Lubuntu-admins] Lubuntu Yakkety Yak Beta 1 has been released!

[Ian Bruntlett]

Hi All,

In the heat of the moment, I neglected to send this message to pretty much
everyone. Here it is, just to keep you informed...

has been released!
To: Nio Wiklund 


Hi Nio & Walter,

Note: If someone is testing an iso, should it be a requirement that they
run Software Updater, just in case they spot bugs that have been recently
fixed?

Walter: I agree - only reproducible problems should be logged as bugs. Is
this page the right page for me to file bugs - https://bugs.launchpad.net/
lubuntu ?

Nio,
I've been doing more testing. I'm currently running memtest86+ to make sure
the hardware is OK. It has been OK in the past, I'm just checking. Will do
a bit more testing and then see what reproducible bugs I have spotted and
then file them on the above mentioned launchpad page. A friend wants me to
type up and print a letter for him tomorrow. Will see how that turns out on
this test system :)

Yes.

Started SPM again & it opened OK.

A mystery.

Maybe the hplip libraries are not yet updated for Yakkety.

The crash information mentioned a .py file. That file extension is what a
Windows developer would give to a Python script file. Not a big Python
expert but I believe Python 3 is a breaking change from v2 to v3. On my
Ubuntu laptop I get this:-

ian@turing:~$ which python python2 python3
/usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/python2
/usr/bin/python3
ian@turing:~$

So if someone is doing a #!/usr/bin/python in a script requiring a
particular version (e.g. 3) then they use this as the first line of their
script:-
#!/usr/bin/python3

OK, memtest86+ 5.01 has finished testing the Netbook and there are no
memory errors.

Off to do more testing :)

BW,


Ian

Hi there,

Decided to keep testing Bata 1 today.

This is what I set out to do:-
Install LibreOffice package
Install hp-gui package
Install HP LaserJet printer
Print a letter from LibreOffice Writer

Needless to say, it didn't go according to plan. I have one A5 page
worth of notes in a logbook. Would those notes be of interest? If so,
I'll type them up and post them here.

TIA,


Ian

Yes please, Ian :-)

It would be even better if you can also identify existing bug reports or 
create new bug reports, if necessary.


Hi everybody,

I suggest that we all can help with this task.
