Screensaver plugin

[plun]

Found this URL to the great screensaver. The only time I see the cube with Beryl.. :D

git-clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~mike/screensaver

I cannot figure out how to make this to work with Compcomm.....it installs OK
but how to handle the schema ?

I have not seen Storm for a while so maybe he abandon this project ?

Thanks !

[SmSpillaz]

Well it doesnt work because there is not metadata for it and hence it will not activate

As for storm - I dont know really

[plun]

Thanks for answer.

I found Storms mailadress and asked him about this.
Hopefully he have time to rebuild this great plugin.

The screensaver is one of the highlights with the cude... :D

[Storm]

Thanks for your mail plun

I had planned to rework the whole plugin,
as far as the first official version of compcomm is available.
(at the moment, I still use beryl ;) ).

But now I changed my mind.
I think I will install compiz/compcomm and
see where are the differences to beryl.
Then I will try to port the plugin (give me some days,
I think at the weekend I have some time)

Note: Do you understand my English? :)

[plun]

Well, that was great news !!! .... :D

I really hope that this plugin can be handle
as an official plugin... 8O

I hope you also understand my "swenglish".... 8)

I'm using your plugin with compiz fusion (thanks to telperion's script :) ), it is awesome!
I have a suggestion for you: would it be possible to have a background to the screensaver in a future development?

For example the same of the skydome background, so when the screensaver is active, the windows rotate in the same background of the cube when it rotates.

Hi

Do you mean Storms original Screensaver..... a rotating cube, not flying windows. :shock:

This one (also some Xwinwrap)

Storm seems to have abandon this project.

[Attila]

no i mean the flying windows screensaver. I'd like to have the possibility to setup a wallpaper background to the flying windows or at least use the skydome wallpaper during the screensaver. i hope it will be in the future! :)

Thanks Pafy :D

The cube is automagic rotating again..... :D :shock: :lol:


EDIT Something is wrong .... after a screensaver inititate and a return to normal
my screen is "blur"..... :(

The screensaver needs these packages

x11proto-scrnsaver-dev

libxss-dev


:)

[shame]

For building or just to run it?
I have the packages you mentioned and it builds and runs for me but a couple of users of my repos gave the error in the previous post.

OK... something seems wrong with the "automagic" timer trigger.

The Screensaver only starts with a manual trigger for me.

I have a manual binding to F2 for a start.

Something for Pafy to maybe look at... ;)

[annoia]

Ok, this is really cool! If only I could make this work on my main workstation!

I do, however, sometimes get an error, where the space on the desktop, that the windows cover disappears when the windows fly away. I get the skydome in the "holes".

Fixed with todays GIT updates :)

Also "the blur" when the screensaver stops, Thanks Devs ! probably Pafy

[shame]

It does now autostart for me but one issue is I would like to have screensaver plugin start up, then after 10 minutes xscreensaver startup and replace screensaver plugin.
At the moment, at the point xscreensaver starts, both screensaver plugin and xscreensaver sort of fight for a second or 2 then xscreensaver fades away and screensaver plugin continues.
Any way around this?

[annoia]

The plugin is not very dualscreen friendly, and it also seems to mess up when using the Desktop Wall plugin (instead of the cube). For one, the cube effect doesn't work, but the flying windows also look horrible!

[annoia]

Ok, to illustrate the problem with dualscreen I made a small video. Due to the large area, it's not entirely smooth at times, which is especially annoying, since the problem is the most evident at first. Anyway, the problem should still be somewhat obvious (namely that the screens overlap, the farther you get from the camera). Not sure if this is a compiz-core problem, actually....

Here's the nice video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yg9hy3igvY

Ah, and here's a working video of the cubes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckh8ox7n5uw

Why? Because I can! :)

[Forlong]

Can I exclude screenlets from flying windows?
Don't know what has been changed in latest git but now they are flying away too...

[Attila]

thank you, now the plugin looks awesome with skydome and also the alternative with rotating cube!

thx its works now
great plugin :D

[jug]

Any chance of “random” mode?
So that it chosses flying windows or rotating cube randomly each time? :mrgreen:

[origin of]

But this plugin allow to set a password ?? Like when we block the screen, then we need to enter the password for unblock it.

Sry for english :roll:

[roderikk]

Hi,

Very nice plugin. The only thing is that it still doesn't completely function with a dual screen setup. I am using Trevino's repo. When I use the cube rotate option it is just as if the two screens overlap a little. Should I file a bug report somewhere, or do you want more info?

Keep up the good work, thanks!

[Forlong]

Don't know what has been changed in latest git but now they are flying away too...
CCSM ? Screen Saver ? Flying Windows ? ScreenSaver Windows ? [code:93799](type=Normal | Dialog | ModalDialog | Utility | Unknown) & !(name=screenletsd.py)[/code:93799]
(won't probably work with the latest Screenlets version)

[Glauco]

Screensaver does not autostart every time in my computer. I'm using plugins from Trevino's repo, if this info make any difference.

[Wait...What?]

I'd love to get this plugin working - here's the error I'm getting though:

Anything I can do?

[Gettinther]

This has been fixed in the latest build from Git. Once you have updated your packages to git, it should compile properly.

[Wait...What?]

[quote:423ee]Once you have updated your packages to git, [/quote:423ee]Thanks - I'm reading the git manual now. Totally new ground for me. While I'm looking, can I ask a super noob question - How do I update packages to git? Do you mean the rest of the fusion packages?

[Gettinther]

Yes, once you have updated compiz-core to the latest git, you'll need to rebuild the other packages against it so that all packages use the same API. There is also an order to install the packages (first bcop, then the compiz packages). Look it up also. I'm away this week so I don't have this information at hand

If you look on this site you'll find the various git locations.

[Wait...What?]

Thanks! I've seen the list, now I just have to wait until after work to get started.

edit: I've got it working now! Just had to re emerge bcop and then pulled screensaver from git. Thanks! :D

[jdeslip]

The screensaver only seems to work the first time after deactivating it and reactivating it. After the first time it doesn't seem to autostart after the alloted time. I am using the latest version from git and compiz-fusion 0.5.2

[tiftof]

A little remark: it doesn't do much when there are no windows open... it should start the rotating cube screensaver then instead. Else there isn't anything moving, so no screensaver.

[Moncader]

screensaver needs to be updated to the new object code so keybindings work again....

[jdeslip]

A little remark: it doesn't do much when there are no windows open... it should start the rotating cube screensaver then instead. Else there isn't anything moving, so no screensaver.

Ya, even with windows open, though, it only seems to auto-start the first time after activation. After that, I wait and wait but it never activates.

[OreiA]

Hi. Where can I get the source of this plugin ?
I'm have some c++ knowledge and want to help. My first try will be a option to lock the screen (I really miss that).

thanks..

PS. sorry for my poor english, I'm brazilian. =D

[jdeslip]

By the way, I notice that the problem with screensaver not autostarting after the first time, seems to not affect starting the screensaver from the hotkeys - that always seems to work. Perhaps there is a bug in the way the plugin counts time after being started and activated once? Maybe the count doesn't restart.

I notice that the git date is 6 weeks old - I wonder if developers are still working on this.

This is "pafyś" project and perhaps he is occupied with other work.

I dont know if CFs devs have a contact list if something is broken.

Thanks!
I already haved found this page, my doubt was with the GIT, but I already find the way. (Reading the manual is a good start xD)

I will start my studies in plugin development and when its ready (what can take some long time since my small amount of "free time") I post here the diffs.

Thanks again!

[NoSkill]

Just doing some testing and this is something I've noticed...

The ScreenSaver does work sometimes but a test I did produced this result:

1. Enable the ScreenSaver, wait for the time-out, and if there are windows to "fly around" then it will work.

2. Then if you remove any windows to "fly" and wait for the time-out, and if the ScreenSaver is set to "Start Automatically", then it will not activate (of course).

3. But then giving it a window to "fly" and waiting for the next time-out cycle to activate and... nothing, it does not activate - even with the "Start Automatically" checkbox ticked.

You have to "reset" it by unticking and ticking the "Start Automatically" checkbox or resetting the time-out before it works again.

There may be other ways to trip it up too, but this is the most obvious one to me at the moment.

Hope this helps someone debugging it ;)

[DaveRM]

If you are using Ubuntu/gnome, this worked for me.

sudo killall gnome-screensaver

then

gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/screensaver/start_screensaver false

No - I'm using Fedora 7.

sudo killall gnome-screensaver
then
gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/screensaver/start_screensaver false

I didn't even need to do the "sudo killall..."! Strangely, I only had to untick the "start_screensaver" setting using gconf-editor and it worked anyway. Well, seems to be so far. The "Start Automatically" symptom has been so erratic in nailing the fault that I'll do a "wait'n'see" for a few days.

And the downside to changing this setting? No login bootscreen screensaver :( Always something else, isn't it? :rolleyes: But at least we've got another clue to the problem. ;)

Thanks for the tip, though, matey :)

[edit: It stopped working again after I made the changes, so I did the "sudo killall..." bit as well and rebooted. Looks like it's working automatically now - been doing it all day today :D I had one strange glitch with it, but I won't go into that yet until I can reproduce it consistently ;) ]

i have problem with compilation on new compiz-fusion. Developers introduce many changes in core compiz. When it will be repaired? I can create patch on screensaver plugin if you want.

Has anyone heard from the author as to if he wishes to continue maintaining it?

If you knows the code, is it possible to "tilt" a Compiz cube ? z-direction ?

The old Screensaver for Beryl worked so.

Anyone got a screen lock working with this plugin?

I use screen lock from kde but screen lock with this plugin can be possible, please write to developer because i dont like double somebody`s work. Second idea simple to implement: i want select rotate way. I implement this in my version plugin but somebody else develop screensaver plugin :-D

[shame]

Incidentally, pafy has now updated the plugin in git.

[berylog]

I don't know if this is the best to say it: I want the keyboard/mouse config of screensaver again!!!! now I can't start screensaver manually, and it's a little annoying wait 0.1 minutes (sometimes it doesn't start!!).

Sorry for my English! Do you know if screensaver will be launched manually again? thx

[shame]

The latest update (in git) has mouse/keyboard/screen edge bindings to launch it manually.

[jdeslip]

I would like to say that the fix of turning gnome-screensaver off completely does seem to solve the autostart problem. However, this causes my monitor to also not auto turn off (to save power). So, I don't think this is really a good solution. I think it would be better to have compiz-screensaver and gnome power management work together nicer.

No, I don't like the need to use "hacks" to other seemingly non-related systems in order for this to work either :( But, having said that (:rolleyes:), can you post the output from this console command please:

And also what is your timeout setting for the ScreenSaver?

My timeout is 30 minutes but for testing puproses I brought it down to 3 minutes.
The line in red shows me the problem. The xorg.conf file has somehow been reset to prevent allowing the X-server signal to progressively shutdown your monitor. Do you have the following lines in your etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
EndSection
If you have the above lines in your xorg.conf file, then they are disabling the associated X-Server signal. See the SERVERFFLAGS section in man xorg.conf for details.

The line in blue is highlighted because I found that once you apply the "fix" for the ScreenSaver plugin your screen goes blank based on the time (in seconds) of that timeout value. The associated option in ServerFlags will stop this (again see the SERVERFFLAGS section in man xorg.conf for details) :
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "on"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
EndSection

Hope this helps...

I think I am beginning to understand - or at least understand why I am confused. It's because there are two different screensaver daemons - one for X and one for Gnome. Which, if any, is compatible with the compiz screensaver?? Which one are we turning off by editing gconf as suggested above?

There was no problem with my xorg.conf - however the X (not gnome) screensaver daemon was off and I turned it on. Then my monitor successfully turned off (after the alotted time) but the compiz screensaver stopped autostarting!

EDIT - Oh maybe I am wrong about their being two daemons - perhaps it is just two gui config programs for the same thing.... *Confused

[NoSkill]

Yes, it confused me too (two screensaver daemons).
Which, if any, is compatible with the compiz screensaver?? Which one are we turning off by editing gconf as suggested above?
As far as I know, we are turning off the login screensaver (the one where you enter your username/password). Well, that is from the description I get from GConf when I click on that variable/value.:confused:

There was no problem with my xorg.conf - however the X (not gnome) screensaver daemon was off and I turned it on. Then my monitor successfully turned off (after the alotted time)...
There is a daemon for that? This is getting messy :o
but the compiz screensaver stopped autostarting!
:confused:
Can you repost your new configuration please (xset q)? I'll compare it to mine and note the diffs for you (perhaps the difference might be there).

Also, you don't have the Gnome screensaver activated do you? I don't, and I don't think you do either, but...

Grrr... Now I'm confused! :mad:
My timeout value should have been 0 because I have this in my xorg.conf file to stop the screen blanking/blackout problem I had:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "on"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
EndSection

No, gnome screensaver is completely off.
I thought so ;)

I've attached a snaphot of my ScreenSaver settings, but in light of my discovery of the timeout value being 600 instead of 0 I am going to have to make sure the screensaver plugin is working properly again. And now I have to find out why the timeout value from xset q is matching my ScreenSaver setting, which should have been 5 minutes (was yesterday) - not 10 minutes.

(You're messing with my head... You know that don't you :p)

[jdeslip]

Ok, now somehow it is magically working. Both CF screensaver and the x turning off the monitor is working... But screensaver daemons (gnome and X if they are actually separate) are turned off.

additionally doing "ps -u user" and "ps -u root" show no sign of any screensaver working. Apparently turning off the monitor after so long is not done through either screensaver application.

[NoSkill]

Ah, good ;)
I just figured out (I think) what is going on... When you change the After (min) value for the ScreenSaver plugin, it changes the value for the timeout value in the X server.

What I think is going on with that entry in my xorg.conf file is that when it sets the BlankTime to 0, it flips the prefer blanking value (the default is yes) in the X-server from yes to no. But the trick is that you must use the Option "BlankTime" "0" line to do it. Note that this trick is only needed for those whose monitors display a blank screen with the monitor still at full power, before or while the ScreenSaver plugin is displaying.

[NoSkill]

additionally doing "ps -u user" and "ps -u root" show no sign of any screensaver working. Apparently turning off the monitor after so long is not done through either screensaver application.
No, it should be the X-server handling it and not necessarily with a visible daemon. You may see an occasional spike when using ps but it is so quick that it may be missed when using ps. On my humble PC, I see a 1% usage spike from Xorg about once in 15-60 seconds.

[edit: Also, most monitors are waiting for the signal to standby. When they get it, they go to standby and then monitor the video signal from your Gfx card. When you move the mouse, tap the keyboard, etc., a signal is sent to the video card to take the monitor out of standby/turn on. Most Gfx cards will turn off hsync or vblank (I think it is) to put the monitor into standby mode, and turn off the video to make the monitor switch off (if your monitor supports it).]

[jdeslip]

Yes, you are right about that timeout value. Cool thanks for the help.

Now onto a new complaint ;) Do you notice when the screensaver is active the relative positioning of the windows is fixed. In other words, when the windows swirl around, you'd expect a window that is in the background to be behind a window in the foreground. However, this is not the case - it is based on their old relative positions on the desktop. I.e. if a window was above another window on the desktop it shows up infront in the screensaver - even if it is swirling in the background and the other is in the foreground.

This is a very minor detail. But, I thought I would mention it - because it is a bit bizarre.

[NoSkill]

Yes, you are right about that timeout value. Cool thanks for the help.

Now onto a new complaint ;) Do you notice when the screensaver is active the relative positioning of the windows is fixed...
Yes. I notice that too. Sometimes I expect a window to bounce off another, but instead it bi-sects it instead (the effect looks like a + ).

Another strange one I get is sometimes if I have one, two, or more apps that are maximised to a full-screen and another that is not maximised to full-screen, then I'll get one or two of them zipping around all over the place - sort of looks like they are in a tornado (but eventually they settle down to a swirl), but the one that is not maximised just swirls around gently.
This is a very minor detail. But, I thought I would mention it - because it is a bit bizarre.
You are such a perfectionist :p

[shame]

Is the screensaver plugin still being maintained?
I notice in the git directory that changes made in the last week were by Guillaume Seguin, rather than pafy.
Also, the latest version causes compiz to segfault.

[wodor]

this version screensaver plugin dont segfault compiz.
ps. sorry but i`m very illing now so i dont have a time. :(

[Pafy]

Hello dear community,

I have been moving from France to USA this past month and now school has started, and I have a lot of homeworks.
I am now prioritizing the development of the screensaver plugin among my other projets.

I will implement thoses features / bugfixes in a near future:
- Locking feature
- external interface for shell scripting
- dual screen fix
- auto activation/reactivation fix
- full C++ wrapper around compiz events to provide a better interface in order to add new effects, overlays, ...

I'll keep you posted.

[jdeslip]

Hey Pafy,

Thanks for the message - i look to forward to the new screensaver plugin when it is ready with the fixes you mentioned.

You must upgrade your compiz to newest compiz git from repo and next compile this plugin(last version from this topic). I have 0.5.5 compiz version.

[abanerjee]

i am not able to find compiz-0.5.5...can u send me link...is it available for fc7

[abanerjee]

actually im behind proxy server so i can't use repo. i have to download it direct...do u have compiled version

[Jox]

I'm using OpenSuSE 10.2 and compiling the screensaver plugin stops with the following error:

compiling : effect.cpp -> build/effect.loIn file included from effect.h:4,
from effect.cpp:1:
screensaver_internal.h:4:25: error: compiz-core.h: No such file or directory

vector.h:34: error: 'CompScreen' has not been declared
vector.h:43: error: 'CompScreen' has not been declared
etc. etc.

I read in another post somewhere in the www that it's because of a split of the libs or something like that.
How can I manage to make the plugin work?

Does anybody know why it was deleted of the unsupported package of the distribution ?

[wodor]

You have too old compiz - core . You must compile from repo or find compiz-git in packages ( version 0.5.5 ).

[maniac]

Screensaver is now adapted to latest Compiz Git, so it won't segfault compiz anymore when activated :)

[vadi]

Yay, nice. Can't wait to try it out.

[shame]

Working fine here now.

You need these packages for building

x11proto-scrnsaver-dev

libxss-dev

:)

[jyneo]

this might be a stupid question, but how do i get those packages >_< ;)
i'm using opensuse 10.2

Well.... every dist must have a search function for packages.... Open Suse
must have one...;)

You can also use Synaptic and search for packages.

[jyneo]

i tried using yast to search for the packages and nothing came up, i guess i don't have the installation source. do you know a zypper command or url link to the package dir? <== if that makes any sense ?_?

i'm gonna try looking for synaptics

Well... Synatic is Gnomes tool for packages...

Perhaps this url can help you how to add repos

http://en.opensuse.org/Documentation/Package_Management

x11proto-scrnsaver-dev libxss-dev and split searches, for example just search for libxss

:)

[jyneo]

i think the plugin was removed from the opensuse repository until its updated more... o well, i guess i'll have to wait. thanks anyway

If you are using Ubuntu/gnome, this worked for me.

sudo killall gnome-screensaver

then

gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/screensaver/start_screensaver false

Thanks, that seems to have worked. I had the gnome-screensaver dissabled (in its settings) but I guess it was still getting in the way somehow. How annoying and useless of gnome to do that. Anyway, after stopping it from even starting up the compiz-fusion screensaver now works all the time. Thanks

but how to handle the schema ?

I have not seen Storm for a while so maybe he abandon this project ?

The git:// URL must be passed to the git revision control utility. But maybe you won't have to worry about that... Which Linux distribution are you using? There may be other ways you can get at this plugin.

And yes, this is the flying windows screensaver.

The Linux distribution i am currently on is Ubuntu Feisty Fawn
What way is the less complicated to installing this Plug-in. I heard this plugin is unstable. What is to go wrong?

[Deciare]

Ah. Did you install Compiz from packages (whose repository?), or build it yourself? If you built it yourself, which version did you install?

In the best case, you'd have the git version, so you'll be able to use the screensaver plugin from git unmodified.

Hello again and thanx for your help!!:D

Well i posted a Forum about how to install it and this person posted this site:
http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/8/26/The-best-way-to-install-Compiz-Fusion-on-Ubuntu-Feisty
and i followed the steps

the repository url or deb address was:

[NineseveN]

Anyone got a screen lock working with this plugin?

I got xtrlock to work easily enough, just installed it via the synaptic package manager in Ubuntu 7.10.

If you're still here and still haven't figured it out ^^;, there are pretty good instructions to be found on installing additional plugins at http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=5303. The guide is written with Ubuntu Gutsy in mind, but the same instructions should also apply to Ubuntu Feisty.[/late]

Is there a way for the screensaver to be disabled automatically when your using a specific program. If there isn't, then I guess this would be a feature request :p. Is that part of xscreensaver's Job?

Hi guys,

I have a small problem I cant seem to figure out. I am posting here as it seems the best place.

I use Fedora 8 and thanks to Leigh123@linux, over at the Fedora forums, who keeps us Fedora geeks supplied with the latest RPMs through his repo, I am running git head.

I have to compile Atlantis2 and screensaver myself, which is no problem. I have noticed that in the latest few versions of screensaver the desktop wallpaper no longer goes opaque when the screensaver starts with the rotating cube option. This is a new behavior, and as I like to see my Atlantis2 instead of my wallpaper I am a little put out. :(

My settings in desktop cube seem correct, 100% when not rotating and 0% when rotating. I have the transparency only on mouse rotate box unchecked, though this seems to make no difference either way. When rotating cube with mouse everything works as advertised.

This is a small matter, but It has bothered me now for weeks. It used to work perfectly, what am I missing? I miss my aquarium. :)

Hi All

Same problem for me too (as JN4OldSchool) where there is no transparency on rotation of the screensaver plugin using Cyberorg's latest git RPMS for Suse 10.3. Hope you guys can fix that one in the future ?

Compiz just gets better and more stable, really appreciate the work you folks put in.

it's like that here too, seems that screensaver needs to be updated...

Hm, it appears that rotating cube mode in general is broken. I'll have a look at this

Now that we're talking about this, it seems that flying windows is broken for me too. The windows fly perfectly, but only the front side of the cube disappears. The other three walls stay visible.

same, to solve it I have to set the distance to a large amount, but they're still initially there...

I just fixed rotating cube, fixing flying windows + cube is over my head, though. Flying windows also works fine with wall.

Works great! Thanks guys, great work. Just when I think Compiz cant get any better y'all come out with something new like the cylinder. Some folks might just call it eye-candy and a resource hog but this is cutting edge stuff and open source is trouncing the big manufacturers here. Once again, thanks to everyone who plays a part.

Hello,

I am using this plugin for Hardy, however, I am having difficulties with its display of flying windows (although, Rotating Cube works perfectly). It seems that nautalis (the background) disappears and as all windows start to swirl around, they disappear into the background (which disappears itself after a second). When I move the cursor, the background fades back in and windows suddenly pop up.

Strange thing is, if I set the ScreenSaver Window from "type=Normal | Dialog | ModalDialog | Utility | Unknown" to "class= Ccsm", the Ccsm displays perfectly while everything fades. If I try to add additional things, such as "class=Ccsm | Firefox", everything just fades.

Anyone have this as well? Anyone can recommend a video capturing software so I can post a video of this on YouTube?
