Exclamation GSB 2.26 screen saver


Hello,

The gsb 2.26 screen saver wont start. It tells me to run this command:

xhost +localhost

I did so, and still, when I restart the daemon, it gives me the same message. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks, cheers.

Hum, ok, so I found that the screensaver doesnt work under root. So maybe I should go ahead and make my own user then.

I would recommend this as the first thing to do on a new install. Don't run things as root it can give problems.
