Here are the results:
[Lee@localhost Lee]$ rm -f /home/Lee/.kde/share/applnk-redhat/System/ScreenSavers/KMatrix.desktop [Lee@localhost Lee]$ cd /home/Lee/.kde/share/applnk-redhat/System/ScreenSavers [Lee@localhost ScreenSavers]$ cp /usr/share/apps/kscreensaver/ScreenSavers/KMatrix.desktop ./KMatrix.desktop [Lee@localhost ScreenSavers]$ It's Working:D Thank you all for your help and patience. |
Also, take a look at the KMatrix.desktop file in /usr/share/apps/kscreensaver/ScreenSavers. You're entering the commands alright now, but you might have over-write it with a link.
First do: ls -al If you see an "l" at the beginning of the KMatrix.desktop line like this: lrw-r--r-- 1 root root 6801 Jun 24 2002 KMatrix.desktop->(some path) then that's bad. If it looks like this, then you're alright: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6801 Jun 24 2002 KMatrix.desktop |
Scratch that. Looks like you got it to work. Congrats.

I got him to delete the existing file before the last copy command to overcome that.

I would like to thank.
david_ross, Capt_Caveman and cpv2o4 for all your advice. :D Can I use the following commands to get the remainder of the screensavers working just by changing 'KMatrix.desktop' for say kscience, etc. Code:
cd /home/Lee/.kde/share/applnk-redhat/System/ScreenSavers |
Hi Mutley,
Glad you got things figured out. Was away for the weekend and just caught up this morning. It looks like a lot of your grief may have been caused by case-sensitivity in Linux. You wrote this back on page 1: Quote:
Again, glad things work now, but this is something to remember for future forays. |
Yes Mutley101 just change the names.
Good luck! |
