Note- The CAPTCHA currently isn't working- so I added a space after all of the "http://" that needs to be deleted to run the command, but allowed this to be posted...

Instructions for using your Flikr account to populate the photos used in LMCE 710's screensaver. I ran the following from a terminal on the Core.

First, upgrade gem:

sudo apt-get install rubygems
wget http:// rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/45905/rubygems-1.3.1.tgz
tar xvzf rubygems-1.3.1.tgz
cd rubygems-1.3.1
sudo ruby setup.rb
sudo rm /usr/bin/gem
sudo ln /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/bin/gem

Then install commandline

sudo gem install commandline

Grab flickrfetchr and install

sudo wget http:// rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/40044/flickrfetchr-0.1.0.tgz
tar xvf flickrfetchr-0.1.0.tgz
cd flickrfetchr
sudo ./setup-linuxmce

Run flickrfetchr

flickrfetchr.rb

This will prompt you to visit a site- I don't know if it is user specific, so I won't post mine here. But the website asks you to sign into your flickr account and then authorize flickrfetchr to access your account.

• Giving credit where credit is due- All of this was ctrl+c -> ctrl+v from the LMCE forums.
