- PedleZelnip, on 01/10/2008, -0/+43Now where's the screensaver that shows the Windows source code. Oh wait.....
- jerrylin, on 01/10/2008, -1/+43This one is bound to make me more awesome to the ladies. Chika chika yeaa
- inactive, on 01/10/2008, -1/+33That makes it a NSFW screensaver I guess, with the profanity throughout the code.
- inactive, on 01/10/2008, -1/+29If I leave this on while I'm sleeping will I learn how to code?
- canthraxp, on 01/10/2008, -1/+25I have the windows source code. Next to my copy of Duke Nukem Forever, and my optimus keyboard.
- sirhomer, on 01/10/2008, -0/+18"There is no Windows version of xscreensaver, and there never will be. Please stop asking. Microsoft killed my company, and I hold a personal grudge. I don't use any Microsoft products and neither should you."
- joolz, on 01/10/2008, -0/+15to bad gnome-screensaver does not support custom settings. people could get confused.
- mavroprovato, on 01/10/2008, -1/+14It would be nice if someone uploaded a video
- joolz, on 01/10/2008, -0/+12Thanks, but it's still ridiculous that i can't do even some basic configurations by default.

Knock yourself out. - thotpoizn, on 01/10/2008, -1/+11Pretty cool stuff. Now I'm thinking, this might be nice to use on log files, perhaps running `tail -f` against a logfile chosen semi-randomly... Need to figure out a halfway clever method of ensuring an "active" log file gets chosen though so it's not super boring and has at least marginal usefulness...
- bherring, on 01/10/2008, -0/+9I want to know more about this story.
- falafelkiosken, on 01/10/2008, -0/+9with the NT source code? ;)
- Urusai, on 01/10/2008, -0/+8/* This is a kludge */
/* ***** ***** *****! Fix this some day. */
/* Stupid code warning */ - yoshifan, on 01/10/2008, -0/+8Same thing, but half the hassle, and a lot faster. Just save it somewhere, and use it as the text program in the xscreensaver preferences. Edit the dirs variable to add other directories.
#!/bin/bash
dirs="/media/sdb1/screen-src/ /usr/src/linux-source/arch/i386/kernel/"
declare -a files
declare -i counter=0
for dirname in $dirs; do
for filename in `ls $dirname`; do
files[${counter}]=$dirname$filename
((counter++))
done
done
rand=$(($RANDOM % $counter))
cat ${files[${rand}]} - mavroprovato, on 01/10/2008, -0/+8Company = Netscape
Me = jwz ( http://jwz.org ) - falafelkiosken, on 01/10/2008, -0/+8no, you just wake up with a headache
- Ademan, on 01/10/2008, -0/+7I'd rather see the existing gnome-screensaver preference dialog improved, it's rather nice except for the fact you can't configure anything...
- AdHaR, on 01/10/2008, -0/+7Try this instead

- cozb, on 01/10/2008, -0/+7and you keep gloves in your glovebox too?
- mahdaeng, on 01/11/2008, -0/+5@mavroprovato:
Nice site design! - Nossie, on 01/10/2008, -0/+5its linux.... if someone ***** you - ***** em back :D
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-198809 ... - Giga, on 01/10/2008, -0/+5Why? His idea was somewhat practical.
- mrxenon15999, on 01/10/2008, -1/+5Is there a version of this that runs on Windows? Not a joke, I actually want an XP version for work.
- hilts50, on 01/11/2008, -0/+4How about how you park in your driveway, and drive on the parkway.
- Bonzodog, on 01/10/2008, -1/+5OMG A TROLL.
Am I surprised? Nooooooo.
Welcome to my blocklist Luser. - chaoswings, on 01/10/2008, -0/+3doesn't everyone?
- plizard, on 01/10/2008, -2/+5i wish it works in windows - i have to use windows at work :(
- ltkerr0r, on 01/11/2008, -0/+3Is anyone else getting "Cool matrix screensaver" from people?
- toarn, on 01/11/2008, -0/+3Since I have dual monitors it would be super cool to get this to display different source code files to each monitor separately.
- Giga, on 01/10/2008, -0/+3SCO's dead.
- thotpoizn, on 01/11/2008, -0/+3How's about an "advanced" button for people who want to see more than just the playschool safety options...
- jban4US, on 01/10/2008, -1/+4This will work under OSX as well, but takes a little bit of work.
First grab the darwin kernel source from here:
http://kernel.macosforge.org/?p=4
Then grab xscreensaver from here:
http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/
Put the darwin source wherever you would like. Download the argshuf program linked in the article. Run make in the directory to make argshuf. Put it wherever you would like.
Install Phosphor. Now for some reason, phosphor for osx doesn't give you the option to run a program in the options pane in systemprefs:screensavers:phosphor. No worries.
Go to [User]:Library:Screensavers and show the package contents of phosphor. Open up Contents:resources:xscreensaver-text in a text editor. Find the function called "output". Inside will be a block of code that starts "elsif ($text_mode eq 'url') {" Replace the contents of the block with:
my ($prog, $args) = ($text_url =~ m/^([^s]+)(.*)$/);
$text_url = which ($prog) . $args;
print STDERR "$progname: running $text_programn" if ($verbose);
if ($wrap_columns && $wrap_columns > 0) {
# read it, then reformat it.
my $body = `( $text_url ) 2>&1`;
reformat_text ($body);
} else {
# stream it
safe_system ("$text_url");
}
Save. Open up the preferences panel and go to the options for phosphor. In the space that says "url" put something like this (it will be different depending on where you put your source/ where you put argshuf) "cat `find /usr/src/xnu-792.13.8/ -name *.c | /usr/local/bin/argshuf`"
It should work now :) - daradib, on 01/11/2008, -0/+2This may be better: http://eddie.niese.net/20080110/cool-linux-screens ...
- bherring, on 01/10/2008, -1/+3side effects may include but are limited to headaches, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, lower sex drive, upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, dry skin, rashes, dry mouth, muscle aches, joint pain, irregular bowels, explosive diarrhea, blindness or leprosy
- balazsbela, on 01/10/2008, -0/+2I did even better, I used the Star Wars plugin instead of phosphor.
No I have my own code rolling down in star wars style. Kewl. - din100, on 01/10/2008, -0/+2is their any similar looking screen saver for vista ?
- Dunnix, on 01/13/2008, -0/+2linux source is downloaded to the /usr/src/ most of the time =)
- Darkhacker, on 01/11/2008, -0/+2Windows source code isn't like some super top secret thing that is locked in a vault. They give out CDs with source to companies that want to make modifications. Obviously you need a special (read: expensive) license to do so, but the Windows source is out there.
- Nossie, on 01/11/2008, -0/+2In all honesty though, there is no reason why this couldn't be an option in gnome.. OS X is minimalist and at least in that you can turn on 'advanced features'
- brettalton, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1Alright, this is how I actually got it working in Ubuntu Hardy:
$ sudo aptitude install xscreensaver
$ sudo aptitude install linux-source && cd /usr/src && sudo tar -xpjf linux-source-2.6.22.tar.bz2 && sudo ln -sf linux-source-2.6.22 linux-source # notice 2.6.22 is for Gutsy, in Hardy it's 2.6.24, in Feisty it's 2.6.20 (I THINK)
$ xscreensaver # open xscreensaver
(1) Click settings (if a splash page pops up)
(2) Click the 'advanced' tab
(3) In 'text munipulation' there is a radio button that says 'program'. Select that and past:
cat `find /usr/src/linux-source/ -name '*.c' | perl -e '@a=; print $a[rand(@a)];'`
(4) Go back to the 'display modes' tab and mess around with the settings -- either make Phosphor the default, change the Phosphor display settings -- whatever
Good luck :) - andycr512, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1Someone should make the screensaver display its own source code. It would be a pretty simple modification of this.
- brettalton, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1NOTE: what he means for you to type in is this...
$ sudo apt-get install linux-source && cd /usr/src && sudo tar -xpjf linux-source-*.tar.bz2 && sudo ln -sf linux-source-* linux-source
(he never told you to change directories to /usr/src) - Valermos, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1Thats strange... on my system it fails without the quotes....
- spydon, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1Don't feed the trolls ;)
- nakio, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1Awesome!
- sinatosk, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1cool
- brettalton, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1Yeah, I don't get it.
And when you run
$ sudo apt-get install linux-source
how can you then run:
$ sudo tar -xpjf linux-source-2.6.22.tar.bz2
$ sudo ln -sf linux-source-2.6.22 linux-source
??? It doesn't download linux source to your home folder.
This HOWTO has some serious problems. - ChiRolla, on 01/10/2008, -0/+1Very clever! Gonna do this right now.
