Flickr

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.

return to the console, and press "Enter" as specified.
