[newbie] missing screensavers
I just installed ML 9.2 with medium security and most defaults. When I go to choose a screensaver, the list is blank. Where did they go? How do I get them back? While I'm writing, how do I get rid of the Edutainment applications? Thanks, hackhound __ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!

How do I get them back? First, open a console and see if you have xscreensaver installed. To do this, type xscreensaver-demo and hit enter. Otherwise, become root and type urpmi xscreensaver. Then run xscreensaver-demo again and make your choices among scores of options. Now, to have f.x. KDE to run it permanently, uncheck the screensaver in look and Feel -- screensaver. Then, still in a console, cd to /home/john/.kde/Autostart when in the Autostart directory, type : ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/xscreensaver screensaver (the last screensaver can be anything you want to call it, thereby creating a symbolic link to the actual application). Next time you log into KDE you'll have it running. Enjoy. Kaj Haulrich. -- ** Sent from a 100 % Microsoft-free computer ** Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

There are a lot of important bug fixes available. Go here and follow the instructions http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/index.php but do not follow the advice about urpmi.removemedia -a Add online sources for 'updates', 'plf' and 'contrib' and you will be able to install 100s of cool apps not on the CDs using your Mandrake software installer. derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
