I developed this KDE screensaver which monitors a running Linux CLI client.
READ the README file very careful, and check the KSetiSaver homepage if you run into problems***
-------------------------------------- If you have questions feel free to mail: sebastian@frozenlight.de ---------------------------------------Last changelog:
A small bugfix release. This time all the fame should go to Sebastian Muszynski (basti@linkt.de) because he has done all fixes.
KSetiSaver - is now able to handle client & data in different directories correctly (this was quite messed up) - the error messages are more descriptive in some cases
On Debian 3.+ I can't compile this. First there were some errors with QT (installing libqt3-mt-dev helps to pass some configure tests), but I got the following error:

If u want KSetiSaver in FreeBSD:
There is a port in the FreeBSD Ports system! Just use that one.
Also there is a port of the linux setiathome client there!
Using both of them KSetiSaver runs fine on my BSD Box. If I compile it from the original sources it don't..
cheers

hi, I have a problem when runing ./configure. after it says checking for X... it gives me the error: can't find X includes. What's it looking for? many thanks for helping a newbie.
Finally i got it!
A very good and cool work, i especially like that it shows me lots of thing that seti does and that in the winzozz client there arent.
The funny thing is that it took me 2 days to compile and install it...boring bug, i need to do a 'make distclean' after ./configure, or else make report an error...(compiling from .tar.gz 0.3.4)
sorry but there's a little misfunction in your packages.
you have'nt correctly set some params of the rpm like rpm cat.
So you can download officials GPG signed packages on my site:
http://b1project.com
I am not sure your rpms are correctly setup either. When I reboot the system the screensave is gone. Does some type of enter need to be in /usr/lib/menu?

I just grabbed 3.2, but it still complains on startup that it can't find the data in /usr/bin. The user data, etc is there. I'm running RH 8/KDE 3.0.5-1. Any suggestions? Thanks!
there is 2 ways to set the data directory.
first you have data and seti client in the same dir, so you have to check the "same data and client dir" option and to set the correct path of the client eg:
/usr/local/seti/
else, don't check the option and set the two corrects paths.
I do have both the data and bin in the same directory (/usr/bin), and have the box checked indicating that they are in the same directory/path, but I still get that error. I see an earlier tip about deleting the rc file for ksetisaver and starting over. I'll give that a try. Thanks.
It (ksetisaver) is indicating that it can't access state.sah. I just confirmed the file is in the /usr/bin directory along with setiathome and ksetisaver, so I'm stumped once again. I did delete the ksetisaverrc file, and configured it again, but still, the same problem.
My profound apologies if this is a "RTFM" issue, but it was as simple as me not using the trailing "/" at the end of the paths! Man thanks for a great app, it's working!! :)
I cant get it to run under Mandrake 9.0. Seti works fine at a command prompt, but kseti complains about not being able to open file.
Here is what is says.
Couldn't open state.sah in directory /files/multimedia/seti
RETURNDED 0
The file is in the dir and has rw perms for my current user.
Not sure. Thanks for any help
I downloaded the latest command line
client ,and it comes with a xsetiathome,when I run the setiathome with a -graphics parameter,the xsetiathome works just fine.
but the screensaver just thow out a "cann't locate /opt/setiathome/state.sah ".and that file is exactly at the right place and the permission is rw for everyone(I changed to this after I saw this error ),but,not work at all.
you should change setiparse.cpp.
the following is diffrences between the old (setiparse.cpp) and the new (setiparse1.cpp).

I modified setiparse, got it to compile fine, but still, I get the error with respect to the .sah file. Setiathome works fine from the console, but KSetiSaver can't seem to find the .sah files. I'm running KDE 3.0.5-1 w/Redhat 8.0
running SuSE with KDE 3.02, all from approved RPM packages. installed all the files (ran make and make install, without incident) to a subdirectory of ~, and then softlinked the .desktop file to my screensavers directory. it shows up on my list of screensavers, but i can't get to any settings, and it won't run at all.
any ideas? want any .log files? did i screw something up?
(wish SuSE would make an RPM, cause i can't)

Well, the link-s broken... :(
You can find it here: http://b1project.com/ksetisaver.html but I have also problem with compiling it.

Yes, I have the same problem. And another Question... Does it work with BOINC, too? Alex
and i am (( can't conpile under FC4

is out! you can download the new version with KDE3 bugfixe on Sebastian's site and MDK9.0 rpms on my site.
