This behaviour is experienced in other image getting screensavers such as carousel etc. glslideshow is parsing .xscreensaver correctly as is evident if bogus lines are ammended etc. imageDirectory: /blah is set correctly Adding -images to line 77 of glslideshow.c st that the line is: "*desktopGrabber: xscreensaver-getimage -no-desktop -images %s\n" \ solves the problem for windowed display: /usr/lib/xscreensaver/glslideshow -duration 8 -pan 8 -fade 4 -zoom 100 -letterbox With -root as: /usr/lib/xscreensaver/glslideshow -duration 8 -pan 8 -fade 4 -zoom 100 -letterbox -root no image is displayed in with unity/copiz manager With xwinwrap glslideshow fails with: xwinwrap -ni -argb -fs -o 1 -s -st -sp -b -nf -- /usr/lib/xscreensaver/glslideshow -duration 8 -pan 8 -fade 4 -zoom 100 -letterbox -window-id WID -root with error: X error in xscreensaver-getimage: X Error of farsion from xscreensaveriled request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 72 (X_PutImage) Serial number of failed request: 30 Current serial number in output stream: 35 Tried with latest vanilla from www.jwz.org, same issues 0 i.e upstream.

self External User Posts: 1 xscreensaver error: usage: xscreensaver-getimage window-id I'm seeing several xscreensaver hacks, among them antspotlight and gflux, which should either grab a screenshot or use an image from a specified directory, display the following error: usage: xscreensaver-getimage [ -display host:dpy.screen ] [ -v ] window-id This program puts an image of the desktop on the given window. It is used by those xscreensaver demos that operate on images. (e.g.: in ~/.xsession-errors or stdout when run from terminal). No Google hits, strace doesn't help much. Sounds like someone got their args wrong. Suggestions? Peace. -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1192022 Karsten M. Self
2013, 05:36 PMPutting together https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2141745.html an all-encompassing matrix theme (yeah, go ahead https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=175985 and boo :P ) for my xubuntu install, even creating a custom x11 cursor theme based on the icons from StarCraft (look pretty nice too, I've smoothed the default animations error in alot, expect it to be on gnome-look et all). And as a bit of a vanity shot I've rewrote the xmatrix.c source code to reference my handle instead of Neo. Problem is I'm having hell compiling it. error in xscreensaver I got the code from github, ./configure, make, make install etc. But its not working with the gdk-pixbuf.

I'd imaging I should install one of the listed tools, but I can't seem to find info on them. What package should I install?
