Package: gnome-screensaver Version: 2.26.1-2 Severity: normal I tried your suggestion.
It's a bit odd, but apparently xdg-user-dirs isn't installed by default. So, by default, this extra config is not done at all. Anyway, according to the config file, my images dir is ~/Pictures. That directory existed. So, in there I added a symlink to my ~/photos directory, where I store my personal photos. A day later (after a reboot), the photos were still not shown in the slideshow screensaver, only the place-holder images were. So, it's not working by default and if you try to let it work with xdg-user-dirs, it's still not working? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-screensaver depends on: ii dbus-x11 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii gconf2 2.26.2-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii gnome-icon-theme 2.26.0-1 GNOME Desktop icon theme ii gnome-session 2.26.2-1 The GNOME Session Manager ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.82-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgconf2-4 2.26.2-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 7.5.1-1 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.20.5-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-desktop-2-11 2.26.1-1 Utility library for loading .deskt ii libgnome-menu2 2.26.1-2 an implementation of the freedeskt ii libgnomekbd3 2.26.0-1 GNOME library to manage keyboard c ii libgtk2.0-0 2.16.6-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libnotify1 [libnotify1-gtk2.1 0.4.5-1 sends desktop notifications to a n ii libpam0g 1.0.1-10 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpango1.0-0 1.24.5-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxklavier12 3.9-1 X Keyboard Extension high-level AP ii libxxf86misc1 1:1.0.1-3 X11 XFree86 miscellaneous extensio ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 XFree86 video mode extension l Versions of packages gnome-screensaver recommends: ii gnome-power-manager 2.24.4-3 power management tool for the GNOM pn libpam-gnome-keyring <none> (no description available) ii rss-glx 0.9.0-2 Really Slick Screensavers GLX Port Versions of packages gnome-screensaver suggests: ii xscreensaver-data 5.05-3+nmu1 data files to be shared among scre -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
