SUSE has been around almost since the dawn of consumer-level desktop Linux, and openSUSE 11 upholds the SUSE reputation for having not just a wide range of available applications, but also excellent documentation and a fine user-to-user support community. For this video we chose the KDE 4.x desktop option. KDE 3.5x and GNOME are also available as defaults in openSUSE.
Hi,
I installed OpenSuse 12.1 on my Dell 690 (X2 dual core Xeon 2.66GHZ, 8G RAM 667 FBDIMM quad channel, 500G at striping RAID (2X 250G SATA), nVidia Quadro FX 3400).
All installation was smooth, took less than 15 minutes. But when I'm trying to login, instead of showing me the desktop... (1 Reply)
please i would like to uninstall the KDE desktop in my fedora 11,previously i was using the default gnome desktop,i want to revert to gnome desktop (2 Replies)
xscreensaver-getimage(1) XScreenSaver manual xscreensaver-getimage(1)NAME
xscreensaver-getimage - put some randomly-selected image on the root window
SYNOPSIS
xscreensaver-getimage [-display host:display.screen] [--verbose] window-id [pixmap-id]
DESCRIPTION
The xscreensaver-getimage program is a helper program for the xscreensaver hacks that manipulate images. This is not a user-level command.
This program selects a random image, and puts it on the specified window or pixmap. This image might be a snapshot of the desktop; or a
frame captured from the system's video input; or a randomly-selected image from disk.
If only a window ID is specified, the image will be painted there. If both a window ID and a pixmap ID are specified, then the image will
be painted on the pixmap; and the window may be modified as a side-effect.
OPTIONS
xscreensaver-getimage reads the ~/.xscreensaver file for configuration information. It uses these settings:
grabDesktopImages
Whether it is acceptable to grab snapshots of the desktop. The security paranoid might want to turn this off, to avoid letting people
see (but not touch!) your desktop while the screen is locked.
grabVideoFrames
Whether it is acceptable to grab frames of video from the system's video input. Grabbing of video is done by invoking the xscreen-
saver-getimage-video(1) program.
chooseRandomImages
Whether it is acceptable to display random images found on disk. Selection and loading of images is done by invoking the xscreensaver-
getimage-file(1) program.
imageDirectory
When loading images from disk, this is the directory to find them in. The directory will be searched recursively for images.
It may also be the URL of an RSS or Atom feed, in which case a random image from that feed will be selected instead. The contents of
the feed will be cached locally and refreshed periodically as needed.
If none of the three options are set to True, then video colorbars will be displayed instead.
BUGS
When grabbing desktop images, the window argument will be unmapped and have its contents modified, causing flicker. (This does not happen
when loading image files or video frames.)
