%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ gnome-screensaver The gnome-screensaver package contains a screen saver and locker designed to have simple, sane, secure defaults and be well integrated with the desktop. It supports locking down of configuration settings, has translations into many languages and convenient user switching.

If you have XScreenSaver installed and wish to import any or all of the hacks into gnome-screensaver themes, set the following environment variable (modify it if XScreenSaver is installed in a non-standard location): XSAVERDIR=/usr/share/xscreensaver/config Also add the following parameter to the configure script below: --with-xscreensaverdir=$XSAVERDIR 2. If you have GDM installed and wish to provide user-switching from the gnome-screensaver unlock-screen dialog box, add the following parameter to the configure script below: --with-gdm-config=&gnome-etc-dir;/gdm/custom.conf Install gnome-screensaver by running the following commands: sed -i 's|etc/pam\.d"|etc"|' data/Makefile.in && ./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) \ --sysconfdir=&gnome-etc-dir; \ --libexecdir=$(pkg-config \ --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/lib/gnome-screensaver \ --with-pam-prefix=/etc && make If you have XScreenSaver installed and wish to import any or all of the hacks into gnome-screensaver themes, you'll need to identify which hacks you wish to import. The commands below will import all of them. If you want to import less than all of them, modify the setting of the XSAVERLIST environment variable below (listing the desired hacks by filename without the extension, space delimited) and issue the following commands: mkdir xscreensavers && cd xscreensavers && XSAVERLIST="*" && for SAVERLIST in $(ls ${XSAVERDIR}/${XSAVERLIST}.xml); do ../data/migrate-xscreensaver-config.sh $SAVERLIST done && unset XSAVERDIR unset XSAVERLIST unset SAVERLIST cd .. This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install && GNOMEDOCDIR="$(pkg-config \ --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/share/doc/gnome-screensaver-&gnome-screensaver-version;" && install -v -m644 -D doc/gnome-screensaver.html \ ${GNOMEDOCDIR}/gnome-screensaver.html && unset GNOMEDOCDIR If you identified some, or all, XScreenSaver hacks to be imported into gnome-screensaver, install them by issuing the following commands as the root user: install -v -m755 -d $(pkg-config --variable=prefix \ ORBit-2.0)/share/gnome-screensaver/themes/xscreensaver && install -v -m644 xscreensavers/*.desktop \ $(pkg-config --variable=prefix \ ORBit-2.0)/share/gnome-screensaver/themes/xscreensaver sed -i 's|etc/pam\.d"|etc|' data/Makefile.in: This command is used so that an erroneous message to copy the PAM configuration file is not displayed. --libexecdir=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/lib/gnome-screensaver: This parameter causes the libexec files to be installed in the preferred location of $GNOME_PREFIX/lib/gnome-screensaver instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/libexec. --with-pam-prefix=/etc: This parameter is used so that the Linux-PAM configuration file for the gnome-screensaver application is installed in the correct location. You may omit this parameter if you don't have Linux-PAM installed, though it won't affect the build if you don't. /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver, &gnome-etc-dir;/gdm/custom.conf /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver &gnome-etc-dir;/gdm/custom.conf Most of the gnome-screensaver configuration parameters can be modified using the Screensaver menu item from the Desktop—Preferences drop-down menu. Some of the fine-tuning parameters are only available using . If you have Linux-PAM installed, the just-installed gnome-screensaver configuration file does not work with a BLFS system. Replace the existing file with one that can be used on a BLFS system by issuing the following command as the root user: cat > /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver << "EOF" # File: /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver auth required pam_unix.so account required pam_unix.so session required pam_unix.so password required pam_unix.so EOF chmod -v 644 /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver If you have GDM installed and you passed the --with-gdm-config= option to the configure script, the screen-unlocking dialog box will contain an option to Switch Users. This user switching option uses the same configuration as GDM to determine what users are displayed in this dialog. You can use the GDM configuration option from the GDM login screen, or you can directly edit the &gnome-etc-dir;/gdm/custom.conf file to modify the settings.
