Tormod, a quick response to be going on with: I added your PPA to my sources list, and in Synaptic Package Manager selected the 6 xscreensaver packages at version 5.19-1~pre for upgrade. On upgrading I get this error:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/xscreensaver-data_5.19-1~pre_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man6/distort.6x.gz', which is also in package xscreensaver-data-extra 5.15-2ubuntu1 E: /var/cache/apt/archives/xscreensaver-gl_5.19-1~pre_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man6/antinspect.6x.gz', which is also in package xscreensaver-gl-extra 5.15-2ubuntu1 The full output from Synaptic Package Manager is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1117177/ However, when I selected the two that did not upgrade, and told it to upgrade them again, it worked. A preview of the VidWhacker screensaver now works, but I have not tested any further than that yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1020575 Title: VidWhacker screensaver just gives "cannot open" "no such file" and "0-length data" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/1020575/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
