I am not sure what additional info I could give to reproduce the problem, except maybe: - I did a fresh install with beta5, no system files changed manually besides xorg.conf (to enable an intel graphics card). - First used KDE4, then KDE3. - Created a new test user, problem persists. - reinstalled all packages that involve screensavers, no change in the symptom. - Gnome and KDE4 screensaver selection works fine. Anyhow, I will check back if the problem persists in RC1, maybe it's obsolete by then already. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In the KDesktop screensaver settings, it is only the list box which is empty. It seems the 'start automatically after' and 'require password to stop' options work. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

On my Notebook, running 11.0, I updated KDE to 3.5.10 and everything about screensavers worked fine. Additionally I set up a new user on my system and logged it into KDE 3. But also there where no screensavers in the list. Maybe this is some kind of configuration problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have two systems which are both running the latest KDE:KDE3, KDE:Backports, KDE:KDE4:STABLE. One of them is fine and the other is showing this bug. On the working system, the search order of kcm_screensaver is /var/lib/kde-profiles/default/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers /var/lib/kde-profiles/default/share/applnk/apps/ScreenSavers /etc/opt/kde3/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers /etc/opt/kde3/share/applnk/apps/ScreenSavers /opt/kde3/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers /opt/kde3/share/applnk/apps/ScreenSavers ~/.kde/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers ~/.kde/share/applnk/apps/ScreenSavers On the buggy system, I get the search order /var/lib/kde-profiles/default/share/applnk/GNOME Settings/System/ScreenSavers /var/lib/kde-profiles/default/share/applnk/apps/ScreenSavers /etc/opt/kde3/share/applnk/GNOME Settings/System/ScreenSavers /etc/opt/kde3/share/applnk/apps/ScreenSavers /opt/kde3/share/applnk/GNOME Settings/System/ScreenSavers /opt/kde3/share/applnk/apps/ScreenSavers ~/.kde/share/applnk/GNOME Settings/System/ScreenSavers ~/.kde/share/applnk/apps/ScreenSavers/ kcm_screensaver has the suffixes "apps/ScreenSavers/" and "System/ScreenSavers/" compiled into its binary file. The prefixes must be coming from somewhere else, especially the buggy prefixes containing "GNOME Settings". And that's where the two systems differ: The buggy one has a GNOME desktop installed. After installing gnu-control-center and its dependencies on the bug-free system it was buggy too. Until a proper fix is available, you can temporarily fix this issue by adding a directory and a symlink: # mkdir /opt/kde3/share/applnk/apps # ln -s ../System/ScreenSavers /opt/kde3/share/applnk/apps/ -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
