[opensuse-kde3] Screensavers are gone from desktop setting and control panel
Ilya, all After the latest updates, the list of screensavers is GONE from kcontrol/screensaver and from the rt-click on desktop screensaver section. Here is a screenshot: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/suse/11.4/kde3/no-screensaver.jpg What should I check? Anybody else see this? -- David C.

Yes, same here. I remember it happened some years before on 11.0 or even older. Do not remember though how it was cured, something like manually copy files. I'll try searching old archives of this list. -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help@opensuse.org

Found the thread where they recommend: sudo mkdir /opt/kde3/share/applnk/apps sudo ln -s /opt/kde3/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers /opt/kde3/share/applnk/apps/ScreenSavers But this just added "Blank" and "Random" to the list -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help@opensuse.org

Well, not surprisingly - I did not have kdeartwork3-k/xscreensaver installed. Now I see the whole bunch of screensavers. -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help@opensuse.org

Interesting question why this happens. This happened to me about a year ago, and I solved this by making a symlink. Now I will attempt to fix this for all by adding the relevant symlink to the package itself. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help@opensuse.org

Hello: I still have openSUSE 11.2 with KDE 3.5.10 and as I remember correctly this was a problem in my system too. Now I checked my /opt/kde3/share/applnk directory and I see that I have a symlink called 'apps' to 'System'. This fixed the issue for me. ls -l /opt/kde3/share/applnk/ total 64 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-12-04 02:33 Applications lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2010-01-25 11:59 apps -> System/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-12-04 02:33 Development drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-12-04 02:33 Editors drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-12-04 02:33 Edutainment drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-12-04 02:33 Games drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-12-04 02:33 Graphics drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-12-04 02:33 Internet -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5752 2011-03-19 03:31 konqueror.desktop drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-12-04 02:33 Multimedia drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-12-04 02:33 Office drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2011-03-19 03:27 Settings drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-12-04 02:33 System drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-12-04 02:33 Toys drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-12-04 02:33 Utilities drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-12-04 02:33 WordProcessing ls -l /opt/kde3/share/applnk/System/ total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 2011-03-22 19:07 ScreenSavers Cheers, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help@opensuse.org
