I just download 3.7.0 i586 version. I am having trouble getting the screensaver to work. While running the wizard and testing the screensaver, it works just fine. What am I missing? The only thing I can think is the network card takes about a minute to connect to the network and the screensaver couldn't load the images.zip file. When does the screensaver download the images.zip file?

Re: Screensaver
Hello dwthornton,
"The only thing I can think is the network card takes about a minute to connect to the network and the screensaver couldn't load the images.zip file. When does the screensaver download the images.zip file?"
Before launching the browser.
Please use 'run_command=sleep 60' parameter to wait longer before downloading the archive:

Please let us know if that helped.
Thank you.

Re: Screensaver
SSH into machine. typed run_command=sleep 60
-bash: 60: not found
So apparently I need to change a config file of some sort. Can you tell me the filename and where it is located?

Re: [Solved] Screensaver
Hello Darrell,
Any idea why it takes so long to establish connection?
Is it client specific or rather your network/dhcpcd server fault?
If client then perhaps we could do something about it ...
Thank you.
