Alas, not quite. There is a change to an "Imagemagick policy" which I needed to apply. In /etc/ImageMagick-6 there is a file called policy.xml. In there, I had to comment out this line (shown commented out): <!-- <policy domain="path" rights="none" pattern="@*"/> --> To do this requires sudo. Frankly the script seems awfully fragile / finicky and difficult to customize and debug.
OK, got it working. The problem is the font pre-selected by the script, "Verdana-Italic", is not installed. (to see the list of installed fonts, do 'convert -list font'). I changed the file IMMODE.CONF to changes these lines: FONT_HEADERFILE="Ubuntu-Italic" FONT_OUTFILE="Verdana" FONT_ALARMFILE="Ubuntu-Italic" After that, all is well.
I am using a remote desktop to connect to my Linux virtual machine (RHEL 7). I had some issues during the installation regarding permissions but solved them. Now when running BGINFO4X, I do not see the info although it did change the wallpaper. I was thinking it might had to do with the resolution but tried a few things and didn't work. Anyone that has an idea what the issue could be?
I WANT TO CREAETE AUTO RUN IN MY NETLOGON FOLDER EACH USER WILL RUN THE SCRIPT AT LOGON TO DISPLAY HOSTNAME/USERNAME/IP/ and if i can to add ping to DG - 1 each 5 min please advice how to i search for a guid to give me the first step for how to test my script and i cant find PLEASE ADVICE
Please , add the debug information logs. See the documentation. Thanks.
