sorry, I didn't run the command with chooseRandomImages: True changing this in the gui wasn't setting it here so I had to add the -images argument:
root@T420s:~# xscreensaver-getimage -verbose -directory /mnt/shared/pics -images root xscreensaver-getimage: grabDesktopImages: True xscreensaver-getimage: grabVideoFrames: False xscreensaver-getimage: chooseRandomImages: True xscreensaver-getimage: imageDirectory: /mnt/shared/pics xscreensaver-getimage: executing: xscreensaver-getimage-file --verbose --name /mnt/shared/pics xscreensaver-getimage-file: recursively reading /mnt/shared/pics... xscreensaver-getimage-file: f=1344; d=1; s=1; skip=10+1=11. xscreensaver-getimage-file: cached 1344 files xscreensaver-getimage-file: /mnt/shared/pics/377640JPRn_w.jpg: 500 x 699 xscreensaver-getimage: file does not exist: "/mnt/shared/pics/377640JPRn_w.jpg" xscreensaver-getimage: no image files found. xscreensaver-getimage: drawing colorbars. now my results are similar to that earlier post -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/609451 Title: xscreensaver-getimage can't find image on samba share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/609451/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
