OK, I'm guessing you already have installed and configured slrn newsreader. Next step is to install slrnface:
sudo apt-get install slrnface and put this in your $HOME/.slrnrc: interpret “/usr/share/slrn/macros/slrnface.sl” this will load slrnface macro at slrn startup. Next, open gnome-terminal and start your slrn newsreader, open any newsgroup and browse to one article that has X-Face header (press 't' key to display headers). If article has X-Face header than small window opens and X-Face picture is displayed. Without this litle patch it doesn't display anything and there is no error output. Here are two pics, one showing how it looks when slrnface is working and as you can see on second one nothing is displayed (that is if you are using slrnface from repository). It is easy to reproduce this, if slrnface is working as expected and you are using proper terminal i.e. gnome-terminal than picture is displayed and that's it. I've got hint for this patch from slrnface author. If you don't use slrn and need help installing and configuring it, let me know, or if you need any additional info about this issue. P.S. slrnface doesn't work if you are using compiz or any other 3D window managers, it was written to work on normal window managers like metacity, kwin, etc ... -- slrnface doesn't display X-Face header https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184261 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
