It would be nice to have this with termsaver:

When installing on a raspberry pi running Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64 bit) [Debian Bullseye] the following occurs.

Hello, today I tried to install your app to Ubuntu Server 20.04, I have last version of pip installed here, how you're saying in README.md, i ran sudo pip install termsaver . And got that output:

I'm not Python developer, (more i know in golang), but how i can undersatnd, it have Syntax Error. And pip i ssaying, that note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip..
So, if you can, please, explain to me, that i did wrong, or fix that error.
Thank you for putting your time in this post.

The figlet application is a complete ascii text formatter with a huge diversity in fonts and sizes, a perfect match to termsaver.

Currently available there are the figlet and pyfiglet, which is the python implementation of the original application.

Still considering which way to go:

• use figlet as it is and force users to install it
• use pyfiget by installing (then I think I would prefer the above option)
• use pyfiglet embedded to termsaver code so for the end-user is just transparent functionality

Hi!
When I try to install using sudo python /home/dexter/termsaver/setup.py install, it says the following:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'locale'

I'm on Fedora 36.

What's would be the clean way to execute this screensaver after x seconds of idle time in terminal? Thanks.

Hi team,
Regarding to the clock, could you please make it be colored?
That's great if the clock is able to be colorized/glowed.

Although set as "all" in debian packaging, I received a message about problems when running the debian package in older Ubuntu versions (Ubuntu 10 uses python 2.6). Since there are no fancy stuff done in the code, it should be, for maximum reach of users, accepted under python 2.4.

As of this moment, the script is not working properly. Searching for alternatives.

Produces: the result:
termsaver -hv
Oops! Invalid use of option. It seems you chose an invalid option.. See --help for details.

To be able to release on apt-get stream, we need to provide a deb package and submit it to debian.

I ran the sysmon (both sudo and reg. level), and I got this error message from the verbose output:

I think something is wrong with the current setup file on pypi?

I am trying to install termsaver on my raspberry pi 4 running ubuntu server 21.04.

I tried sudo apt update and sudo apt install termsaver, but it says no such package.

I tried to add ppa:bruno-braga/termsaver but it doesn't work.

I also tried to pip install but theres an error.

Is there a way to do it?

What is the simplest way to add a screen saver to my local termsaver?

I've seen the figlet plugin and it is a little bulky. I wrote a screen but I'm having difficulty getting termsaver to pick it up. Here is my plugin.

import time
import sys

from termsaverlib.screen.base import ScreenBase
from termsaverlib.screen.helper.typing import TypingHelperBase
from termsaverlib.screen.helper.position import PositionHelperBase
from termsaverlib import common, exception, constants
from termsaverlib.i18n import _


class LocalQuotesScreen(ScreenBase, TypingHelperBase, PositionHelperBase):

    sleep_between_items = 0
    char_delay = 0.15
    line_delay = 1.5
    data = None

    def __init__(self):
        ScreenBase.__init__(self, "quotes", "display quotes from local file", {
            'opts': ':p:',
            'long_opts': ['path='],
        })

    def _usage_options_example(self):
        print _(""" """)

    def _parse_args(self, prepared_args):
        for option, arg in prepared_args[0]:
            if option in ("-p", "--path"):
                self._read_file_into_data(arg)

    def _read_file_into_data(self, path):
        with open(path, 'r') as content_file:
            self.data = content_file.read().split("\n\n")

    def _run_cycle(self):
        self.clear_screen()

        for item in self.data:
            self.get_terminal_size()
            item = self.center_text_vertically(item)
            item = self.center_text_horizontally(item)

            ##
            lines = item.split('\n')
            for index, line in enumerate(lines):
                for char in line:
                    sys.stdout.write(char)
                    if char != ' ':
                        time.sleep(self.char_delay)
                    sys.stdout.flush()
                sys.stdout.write('\n')
                if not line.isspace():
                    time.sleep(self.line_delay)
            ##

            time.sleep(self.sleep_between_items)

            self.clear_screen()

Once #61 and #56 are both merged, the functionality from #61 needs to be assured to work with #56's functionality.

Another great addition would be the ability to quit termsaver with any input, like cmatrix -s, instead of necessarily having to SIGINT out of it.

By running:

$ termsaver quotes4all -v

When it comes time for the loop to reconnect to the internet, it throws the following error:

termsaver.quotes4all: Connecting to http://quotes4all.net/rss/360010110/quotes.xml ... (this could take a while)

A series of interactive screensavers maybe?

hi - SW is busted pls can you remove and update for debian / pi ?

When I run the matrix screensaver on the RPi I do not see any of the japanese characters :(

I am trying to integrate termsaver in nnn as the default termsaver. I am facing 2 problems:

• nnn disables ^C at start. Would it be possible to support an additional keybind to exit termsaver? Perhaps ^Q?

• termsaver clears the terminal on exit. However, I need to restore the nnn window.

After having downloaded the source files and running "sudo python setup.py install" it returns a SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print' in setup.py, Line 100.

I am running the latest release of Arch Linux and Python.

Is there a Way, maybe in the near future to run asciiquarium as an screensaver.
Thanks,

In TermSaver v.0.3, if you run termsaver programmer without a path, part of the error message states:

    If you have access to subversion, you may download it at:
        svn co https://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/ django-trunk

However, Django no longer uses subversion, so the it should be updated to read:

    If you have access to git, you may download it at:
        git clone https://github.com/django/django.git

Cheers and thanks for the awesome tools,
Zzyzx

Using text stdout alone, find a way to output a matrix look-alike screensaver.

Would be cool if possible to password-protect, similar to xscreensaver-command -lock.

Perhaps integrate with vlock?

crtl-c doenst work in start wars screensaver. Couldn't even disconnect with the usual telnet sequence. Hat to sigkill termserver.

Source: http://www.asciimation.co.nz/

https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in

Small script that generates weather forecasts on a set location, might be useful to integrate as an additional screensaver option in termsaver?

I really think RFC and Programmer modules would be more comfortable if they were slower, but I think it would not be much harder to implement a speed setting.

As of now, the scroll speed is way too fast for an idle screen who would stay in sight while working on another screen, and is very distractive.

Since asciiartfarts is dead since 2014 could we have a randomization option to start farts display at different offset each time?

The clock says Friday, 11st March 2016.

Is this a bug on the system clock termsaver uses, or something in termsaver? 'st' works fine for 1st, 21st, 31st, but 11st just sounds weird.

It would be kinda nice to have the terminal cursor hidden when termsaver is running and back to normal on exit.

I am currently running this:

$ setterm --cursor off && termsaver clock && setterm --cursor on

But if there's any way to make this an option or a default it would be great.

Thanks :)

It comes always upper-left.

The plugin system needs to be adjusted to align with new changes and updates to how plugins can be handled in Python 3.
