Description of problem: Picture folder does not work, even if there is an ati or nvidia card, selinux enabled or disabled or pictures are inside or a symlink to pictures. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-screensaver-2.18.2-2.fc7 How reproducible: Try to use "Picture folder" in gnome-screensaver. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Should be working Additional info:
Do you have a binary named /usr/bin/slideshow ? If yes, that may be the cause of the problem, and a possible fix is to edit /usr/share/applications/screensaver/personal-slideshow.desktop and replace the line TryExec=slideshow by TryExec=/usr/libexec/gnome-screensaver/slideshow Can you try that and report if it helps ?
No, i don't have slideshow in my system.
If i execute /usr/libexec/gnome-screensaver/slideshow, there comes a black window and the cpu goe's high.
how many pictures do you have in ~/Pictures ? How big are they on average?
It doesn't matter if they are 20 pictures or a symlink with 10'000 pictures, there is just no screen saver.
Before, in rawhide, with a symlink with about 10'000 pictures in there, it was working.
can you run strace -s512 -f -o slideshow.log /usr/libexec/gnome-screensaver/slideshow and attach slideshow.log ?
I can not send the log of my machine because it contains too much personal information. it it reading my whole archive with more then 500gb data. i send you the log from rawhide which is also not working. hope it helps.

has is something to do with WINE? when i execute: $ strace -s512 -f -o slideshow.log /usr/libexec/gnome-screensaver/slideshow after two minutes, the terminal output looks like this and the size of the slideshow.log is about 200mb: ** (slideshow:5612): WARNING **: Could not open directory: /home/sysop/.dbus ** (slideshow:5612): WARNING **: Could not open directory: /home/sysop/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.dbus ** (slideshow:5612): WARNING **: Could not open directory: /home/sysop/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.dbus ** (slideshow:5612): WARNING **: Could not open directory: /home/sysop/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.dbus ** (slideshow:5612): WARNING **: Could not open directory: /home/sysop/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.dbus ** (slideshow:5612): WARNING **: Could not open directory: /home/sysop/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.dbus ** (slideshow:5612): WARNING **: Could not open directory: /home/sysop/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/sysop/My Music/.dbus
I deinstalled wine and the problem still exists. I reinstalled gnome-screensaver and the problem still exists. I disabled selinux and the problem still exists. I changed some permissions and the errors was gone, but still no pictures and the cpu is still of 100%.
