 |
|
I've emerge setathome and it is crunching away happily. My question is, how can I view the process via the xsetiathome screen saver?
I tried running xsetiathome and received this error:
| Code: | /opt/setiathome $ ./xsetiathome
Warning: Cannot convert string "doneB" to type Widget
Shared memory segment doesn't exist. errno=2
Couldn't attach to the science process!
|
Also, does anyone know how to use xautolock to make this all automatic?

neilhwatson,
Start seti with the -graphics switch so that it generates the shared memory segment.
setiathome -graphics &
Run it in the background to get your prompt back
now run
xsetiathome
to draw the pictures.
xsetiathome will quit as soon as you move the mouse.
Check out ksetispy. Its much less CPU intensive bit it will want a lot of KDE installed.

| Neddy is correct. You must specify the -graphics option when starting setiathome. To have this done using the gentoo startup script just edit the options variable in the /etc/conf.d/setiathome file. |
