I have no screensaves in Suse 12.1 Clicking on the desktop icon gives the following error message.

Error box. Details: Failed to execute child process"gnome-screensavers- preferences" (No such filer or directory)

What can I do the fix this. Newbie here. Bob

Hi Bob,

Did you upgrade or perform a fresh install? Is this a 64-bit system? Have you tried to Google 'opensuse and gnome 3 and screensaver preferences' to locate others having the same issue (possibly locating a 'solved' thread in the process?) Have you confirmed all updates / patches are current? Sorry for the lack of info. Fresh install and 32 bit, version 12.1 All updates and patches are current. Did not Google what you suggested as I'm a bit timid of trying things in Google and Suse since I'm a newbie. May have to change that . The reason I ask these questions is you haven't provided any background on the system or steps that you've already taken to resolve the problem. As a self-described "newbie" these are basic kinds of things you provide to the list when asking questions.

hth& regards,

Carl Tried to install the screensavers by clicking the desktop icon (Gnome) and got the error message : Details: Failed to execute child process"gnome-screensavers- preferences" (No such filer or directory) Didn't try anything else after that cause I really don't know what it means or what to try. Rather back off and ask than mess

Hi The screensaver is deprecated in GNOME 3.x, soon one may arrive which AFAIK will be a clutter/mutter one.

Until then it's a blank screen.... OK That solves the problem for now. Maybe in version 12.4 will
