[18:44] <jrwren> I ended up with this as my poor man's random photo frame: `find /run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=server,share=photos | sort -R | while read file ; do timeout 24h eog --fullscreen --disable-gallery $file ; done`
[18:44] <jrwren> learned about sort -R
[18:47] <cmaloney> Have you looked at Feh?
[18:47] <cmaloney> sort -R is awesome
[18:48] <jrwren> maybe feh was the one I was using 2 weeks ago and forgot about. hehehe. I couldn't remember its name and it was gone from bash history :(
[18:48] <cmaloney> nice
[18:48] <jrwren> yup, feh was it. it was close, but not what I wanted.
[18:48] <cmaloney> feh iswhat I used when wv wasn't cuting it anymore
[18:49] <jrwren> i'll give it another look.
[18:49] <jrwren> maybe I should checkout wv too
[18:49] <cmaloney> xv is too old
[18:50] <cmaloney> iirc it had colomap issues
[23:10] <Scary_Guy> feh is good, there are a few others too that do the same thing
[23:11] <Scary_Guy> nitrogen is what I was thinking of
[23:12] <Scary_Guy> https://urukrama.wordpress.com/2007/12/05/desktop-backgrounds-in-window-managers/ has a pretty large list, though it's over 10 years old now
[23:13] <Scary_Guy> it's not like this tech changes all that much though
[23:16] <jrwren> not anymore anyway.
[23:20] <Scary_Guy> what WM do you use?
[23:20] <Scary_Guy> and/or DE
[23:21] <jrwren> 100% defaults.
[23:22] <Scary_Guy> defaults of what?
[23:22] <Scary_Guy> oh, lol
[23:22] <Scary_Guy> not everyone in here uses Ubuntu, but I guess most probably do
[23:25] <jrwren> I barely use desktop linux, so I really have no idea what it is called. Its not KDE or enlightenment.
[23:27] <Scary_Guy> try typing screenfetch / neofetch into a terminal
[23:27] <Scary_Guy> I like those for quick info
[23:27] <Scary_Guy> neofetch is basically an updated more robust screenfetch
[23:28] <jrwren> intersting
[23:29] <Scary_Guy> Hardinfo is great too, it reminds me of AIDA32/64 and whatever that other one was on Windows, but it isn't CLI
[23:29] <jrwren> neither installed by default.
[23:29] <Scary_Guy> https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch
[23:31] <jrwren> i think it would find it as gnome
[23:32] <jrwren> https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/blob/master/neofetch#L702
[23:34] <Scary_Guy> well, I know Ubuntu was using Unity, but that's ending in favor of Gnome.  I just haven't been keeping up on that so I don't know what it is now
[23:35] <jrwren> i don't see how neofetch would ever return Unity as a result.  https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/blob/master/neofetch#L1811
