Screensavers Missing

Nukem · 01-13-2004, 08:25 PM

Once I decided to change my menu style from Mandrake default and to KDE. And then, after I switched it back to Mandrake default style using, "menudrake" and selecting the style, I noticed that all the screensavers that I had before are missing. I can't install them, because it says, packege already installed.
How can I get my screensavers back???

I have also found the same problem. I initially loaded KDE as my only gui... but I have no screensavers to select from. Where is the package taht is supposed to include them? I chose every one of them from the KDE list.

Got this from the mandrakusers.org a while back

"And if you want your screensavers working (mine did not):

In a terminal su to root, cd to /usr/share, then type:

ln -s ./applnk-mdk/.hidden ./applnk-mdk.hidden

Go to the KDE settings, (configure your desktop), look and feel, screensavers, there they are!
"

try that.

didn't work here either... it looks like Mandrake doesn't like screensavers. But in my case, first when I switched to KDE from Mandrake, I still had my screensavers. Then when I switched back to Mandrake, they were gone..

they are included
the fix worked for me

try
uprmi kdeartwork xscreensaver
to make sure they are installed
also there is one in kdetoys (the tux in the spaceship one)
