apt-get install hollywood returns error: Unable to locate package hollywood

Any ideas?

no comits sience 2020

gentoo

how to run it as well

This software is too awesome.

The YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVMn3xk5mcY shows a suitably-impressive changing display of panes. This doesn't happen when I run hollywood on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine. Did I miss something?

I looked at the code and it looks like the panels are built up and then left, so I wonder if this was removed or from an unreleased version or some other trick? Would be great to have it!

ccze keeps crashing for me on Ubuntu Xenial. It would be nice if it wasn't required.

(ccze crashed with SIGSEGV in __GI___tsearch() from getpwnam)

Hello,

I'm trying to add the repo to a Raspbian jessie install and it's understandably throwing errors, "Error: could not find a distribution template". Since it works on debian, I'm sure it'll work fine on Raspbian as well. Is there any way you could edit the distro template or tell me how to build from source? I tried all the normal commands "sudo qmake && make", but the make files are not included.

Thanks in any event

Bug on line

It would be insanely cool if there was a option to use this program as a screensaver.

1. I was able to get it working, but I would like to have a package for cleaner installation. Is there a vanilla Debian package?
2. Is there a way to configure the number of panes? I get a lot of really skinny panes that I cannot read anything or only six characters wide on my monitor.

For maximum Hollywood-ness, I should be able to mash the keyboard randomly without accidentally pulling up desktop widgets or the byobu command line.

Ctrl+C should still work, of course!

Github releases provide a tarball which could be easily downloaded and used on packages without needing to clone the project, also makes it easier to have version downgrade in case of breakage or dependency change

It will be cool to run it on macOS as well.

After installation I get logged out and shown a black screen for a few minute before showing the actual lock screen. I noticed that the network manager wasn't running. Fortunately I was able to restart it.

sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager start

Hi,

The locate package dependancy is missing.

it would be cool if it was available as a pkg from homebrew or macports

This would be a really cool application to show as a snap.

I made an initial attempt, but I'm getting this error with devmode:
open terminal failed: not a terminal

devmode is supposed to let anything work, so I suppose there is bug in there, somewhere. I won't have time to keep playing with it today, so I'm leaving it here in case somebody else wants to give it a try. The file was renamed from .yaml to .txt to be able to upload it to github.

TODO:

• make it work in devmode.
• use less stage packages.
• talk to security about the "Bad system call" when installed without devmode.

nms is quite fun

• #63

It starts "While…", then the dependent clause has no main clause, and the sentence has no period.

It would be fine just to remove "While" and add a period at the end.

"Widgets" lack any sort of sanity checking. I suggest at minimum that the command exists in the PATH.

For example:

exists=$(which bmon 2>/dev/null)
[ -z "$exists" ] && exit 1

If you take a look at the htop in this screenshot, you can see that my CPU is going completely crazy:

It seems like tmux, mplayer and ccze are responsible.

OS: Ubuntu 18.04
hollywood version: 1.20

I think I had the same problem with 1.19.

Hi, I love this app but it would be great if you could have a settings file to set how many widgets are shown because it opens way too much on my screen and you can´t see anything since they are so small.
Also it would be great if the music could be set to be on a loop.

Thanks and great job!

When a tmux session is already running, hollywood is unable to tile and subdivide and just creates a single output

I'm on linux mint 20.2 uma, mpv can open soundwave.mp4 but only waves on video but no sound. Other mp4 on my pc are fine.
I also tried it on the online player www.hlsplayer.net, which gave the same result.

Package: hollywood
Version: 1.14-0ubuntu1

File path = /usr/lib/hollywood/mplayer

command -v mplayer >/dev/null 2>&1 || exit 1
trap "pkill -f -9 lib/hollywood/ >/dev/null 2>&1; exit" HUP INT QUIT TERM
PKG=hollywood
dir="$(dirname $0)/../../share/$PKG"
DISPLAY= mplayer -vo caca $MPLAYER_OPTS $dir/mi.mp4

Fix:

DISPLAY= mplayer -vo caca -loop 0 $MPLAYER_OPTS $dir/mi.mp4

the repo lacks a license file, which is inconvenient if I want to fork and submit a pull request or something like that

Hi,

It seems that hollywood is crashing after quiting terminal with Ctrl+C. Infact, after doing this, I have a report error, and music of Mission Impossible doesn't stop.
I don't know how I can give you more information about this problem.

I've installed the snap and it's not launching. Tried running snap run hollywood rendered no output and I'm not seeing logs. This a lame issue/bug report I know but I got nothing.

I'm happy to keep checking back as I find more logs/output. Just wanted you to be aware.

I think hollywood is used in Paint it Green - A SUSE Music Parody, at 0:40, 0:53, 1:09, 1:33.

Thought I'd let you know, maybe add this to screenshots 🤷‍♂️

I have an old laptop with Lubuntu (Ubuntu 18.04.5) where hollywood works fine.
In my Debian computer (11 Bullseye amd64) however, hollywood doesn't produce any sound. The script is fine and works as intended, but pulseaudio doesn't play anything. I have MPlayer and VLC installed.

I could use something to ween my kid off of Minecraft when it's time to eat, so popping up hollywood would be great! Working on that right now. In addition though, the more hollywood slows down his laptop, the better, so any chance we could get an option to remove the renicing, or even give it more priority?

Hey Dustin,

I've seen your talk about byobu and hollywood at UbuCon Europe in Paris last week and I've decided to try the snap :)

Unfortunately, I'm getting this when I try to start it:

marius@Lenovo-Carbon-X1-3rd ~ $ hollywood
/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: __vdso_time: invalid mode for dlopen(): Invalid argument

marius@Lenovo-Carbon-X1-3rd ~ $ snap --version
snap 2.27
snapd 2.27
series 16
solus 3
kernel 4.12.12-19.current

marius@Lenovo-Carbon-X1-3rd ~ $ lsb_release -a
LSB Version: 1.4
Distributor ID: Solus
Description: Solus
Release: 3
Codename: shannon

It would be really nice if Readme was made more clear, with screenshots and description of the project.

Hi,

thanks for your great script.
I love it and use it as a kind of screensaver sometimes....

But I had on a new client no sound...

Reason is that your script depends on mplayer:
https://github.com/dustinkirkland/hollywood/blob/master/lib/hollywood/mplayer

Please mention / set mplayer as dependency

Thanks,

ramon

There are a few hollywood Docker images out there, but they are all either outdated (on the one hand because nobody is releasing a new one when a new version of hollywood comes out, but also because the repositories on Ubuntu are updated way too rarely. Not to mention that they are all buggy).
It would be nice to have a Dockerfile in this repository that could always create an image for the latest hollywood version and in addition to that it would be nice to always have the latest Docker image available on Docker Hub.

I can provide the appropriate Dockerfile if you're interested and guide you through the simple process of building/publishing the Docker image if necessary.

Support for Docker would be really nice to get better cross-platform support, especially for Windows.

Hello,
I am new to Linux and running Manjaro-KDE. I tried to git clone this project and works fine, but after that i tried to 'cd' into the hollywood directory and i could'nt find my way after that. Can anyone please help me out with installing this?

Hi,
While Hollywood starts normally (all possible space is occupied with different widgets) after about several seconds most windows tend to occupy as less as possible space.
Seems like after all widgets started the space relocation algorithm tend to make all equal except one (randomly selected).

It actually never reverts or reorder windows again. Both on physical and virtual screens.

Ubuntu 16.04
Version: 1.8-0ubuntu1~16.04

I love your scripts/program!
Is there a way though to get the music out of it?
Or can I turn it off?
Thanks in advance!

Some screensavers

• pipes.sh (cpipes is probably more efficient, but less likely to be in repos)
• pipesX.sh
• weave.sh's sample-screensaver.sh
• nyancat (source)
• termsaver
  • has a clock
  • has a programming animation (types out text files from a directory)
  • has several network connected options: ascii starwars, typing animation of url source or rfc, rss feeds, quotes, jokes, and asciiaetfarts.
  • places text in random places
  • (if you use this, I recommend installing from git; requires pillow)
• gh-screensaver
• tscrnsvr
• search GitHub for terminal screensaver for more...there's many

Various system information fetchers - they're not noisy, but they would still add to the effect, and wouldn't use cpu. Would lookg good in the middle of you have a 3x3 grid.

• neofetch, though there's maybe a bit too much output
• nerdfetch is bash, doesn't have a big display, looks cool
• many alternatives listed https://github.com/beucismis/awesome-fetch

Maybe I misunderstood how to use it or something, but when I launch hollywood in a terminal all I get is this:

I tried with -d 2 but nothing either. I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 and using the version installed through the package manager (1.20 according to the changelog).

--help because it's only fair to users, and --silent so that I can run it on two monitors without messing up the sound. Or perhaps do an SFW demo.

There is no option to mute the music!
I want to make a joke, not to transform my computer in a discoteque

The script does not close whatever it starts, I haven't tested if it ever closes whatever it starts, but it probably does.

I thought snaps were platform agnostic?!! ;)

It is true though, just tried it on an Artful install and it core dumps.

OS: Ubuntu 18.04
hollywood version: 1.19 (the one that's currently in the master)

One of the widgets is just spamming the following error:

Any ideas what's wrong here?

Hi,

I have tried hollywood (and think it is rather funny) but I found a bug:
The parameter for the SPLITS seems to be ignoriered (so it always takes exactly as many splits, as there are widgets)

I played a little bit with bin/hollywood and the problem seems to be in line 45
$tmux_launcher send-keys -t $PKG "$0"
Here the hollywood script is called again, without the SPLITS parameter, so it uses the count of the widgets.

So long,

sudo dnf install hollywood does not work. Please provide support for fedora

It over load the system
btw here is arch package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hollywood/

I'm interested to know which cinematic activities this project has been used in, please.
