E17 and xscreensaver
Posted: 2014-02-09 Filed under: desktop | Tags: e17, electricsheep, enlightenment, xscreensaver 1 CommentI decided to try E17 on my multimedia PC. I have built Enlightenment from SBo, but there were some glitches. In stead, I decided to give Slacke17 a try. I got the packages for my architecture and installed everything as it is recommended:
./slacke17-install.sh max
I then logged out, run xwmconfig
and selected e17.
I wanted to continue using xscreensaver
, because electricsheep is just amazing. Unfortunately, I was not able to select xscreensaver
from the settings menus… I googled around and came across this tutorial about it. So, following exactly what they say there, I created a file ~/.local/share/applications/screensaver-e17.desktop
with the following contents:
[Desktop Entry] Exec=xscreensaver -nosplash Icon=xscreensaver.svg Terminal=false StartupNotify=true Name=Screensaver e17 Comment=Start screensaver daemon Type=Application Categories=Settings;DesktopSettings;Security; X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=xscreensaver
Then I selected it as follows: Main Menu > Settings > All > Apps > Startup Application > Screensaver e17
Logged out and in and it just works :)
