Sometimes I feel like it is just one $%@(! breakage after another in Linux! I have not done anything other than ordinary updates, as they come in, and now this time one of my systems no longer has any screen savers showing in the list of the KDE -> Personal Settings -> Screen Saver. I noted it when the screen saver failed to run and so went in to see what the problem was.... The Setup and Test buttons are grayed out/inoperative and no screen savers are listed. SO WHAT HAPPENED?
Did a reinstall of all packages related to screen savers, and now I see that the screen savers are again running (randomly as I normally select) BUT still no list of screen savers is being shown in the KDE configuration tool.
Am running KDE3.5 under SuSE11.1...
This symptom is precisely what happened to me twice when I installed some Gnome packages (I, too, use KDE 3.5). ...
workaround: sudo mkdir /opt/kde3/share/applnk/apps sudo ln -s /opt/kde3/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers /opt/kde3/share/applnk/apps/ScreenSavers
i'm using opensuse11.1, x64, default kde3.5
Interesting. How did you figure out what was happening? Do you know which Gnome-related package perpetrated this corruption?
I'm running the 32-bit counterpart to you setup.
I don't know what happened :) I just "strace kcmshell screensavers" and it show where it searches screensavers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
