Public bug reported: I installed XScreensaver using Synaptic Package Manager, which shows the installed version and latest version at 4.15-3ubuntu1.
In Screensaver Preferences ... Advanced ... Image Manipulation ... Choose Random Image ... I have pasted a URL from my public web site as ... >> http://daviding.com/webphotos/index.php?rss=gallery&lang= ... and then change tabs over to "Display Mode" and then back to "Advanced". The URL now reads http:/daviding.cm/weebphotos/index.php?rss=gallery&lagg= ... so the RSS images don't seem to be downloaded. The problem was noted on Bug #1116006 for Ubuntu 12.10, but appears to still be a problem with Ubuntu 14.04. There, on 2014-05-14 it says ... >> This bug was fixed in the package xscreensaver - 5.26-1ubuntu1 ... but that doesn't be included as the current release.
