See the new bug description.
** Changed in: xscreensaver (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => Confirmed
** Summary changed:
- popsquares screensaver missing/not found - accidentally removed from
xscreensaver-data prior to 5.10-3ubuntu4?
+ please enable popsquares screensaver
** Description changed:
+ It was disabled because of the name clash with the one in gnome-
+ screensaver. It has now been removed in Ubuntu gnome-screensaver, so it
+ can be put back in xscreensaver again (only the .desktop file is
+ missing).
+
+ This will not happen in Debian yet, since the gnome-screensaver there
+ (and upstream) still ships its own popsquares.
+
+
+ ORIGINAL REPORT:
+
Binary package hint: xscreensaver
On a new install of Lucid, I can't find the popsquares screensaver,
which was previously part of xscreensaver.
The changelog for the gnome-screensaver package shows that it was
recently removed from there because the developers thought it was part
of the xscreensaver-extra package (see
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/gnome-screensaver/+changelog
for gnome-screensaver 2.28.0-1ubuntu1). However, the popsquares
screensaver is not currently listed as part of the xscreensaver-extra
package.
This particular screensaver was a favorite of my son. Any chance it can
be restored? If not, any suggestions on how to add it manually?
