Oh well, at least I can now change whatever is written under my screensaver. Run the ‘sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver’ command shown in Figure 2 to uninstall gnome-screensaver. Figure 1 Before installing a new screensaver we have to remove the default one.
#Install xscreensaver how to#
Not sure how this should be handled next. How to install a screensaver Fire up a new terminal like shown in Figure 1. Is that (yes we can then launch it and use it per the above screenshot) we will end up with a duplicate Screensaver under in the UM menu. if you use kdes screensavers, you can setup Xscreensavers by running xscreensaver-demo. Now, the (minor) problem one will then have, using UM 18.10, is that after the xscreensaver has been deployed: $ which xscreensaver-demo Then they can use/see the StarWars under MATE -> screensaver and they will be unable to customize it unless they also install the package xscreensaver. Ii xscreensaver-gl-extra 5.36-1ubuntu1 amd64 Extra GL(Mesa) screen saver modules for screensaver frontends Ii xscreensaver-gl 5.36-1ubuntu1 amd64 GL(Mesa) screen saver modules for screensaver frontends To explain this differently, if a user has the following packaged installed: $ sudo dpkg -l | grep -i xscreensaver So the original problem is that even though we can have/see/use the StarWars screensaver without having to installl the xscreensaver package that we will be unable to customize the displayed text from it. So, oh dear Community, HOW in 2019 does one customizes the text under the StarWars screensaver? Same with the xscreensaver package for that matter ( which xscreensaver outputs nothing). I actually found 1 post from 2010 referring to the actual xscreensaver config hinting to bypass it via ~/.xscreensaver I then (of course) used some engines but didn't found anything relevant in terms of xscreensaver-text. This package needs a new maintainer If you are interested in helping with the maintenance of xscreensaver, please get in touch with our Proxy Maintainers. My first reflex as a user was to check under Screensaver and select StarWars which would give me a button to write something in.
The problem I am experimenting is that I am unable to locate how/where to setup this value. My question concerns the StarWars one which I would like to configure with something funny. Am a particular fan of all of those extras from the extra packs. refined technical needs and who enjoys wasting cycles generating random screensavers. installColormap (class Boolean) On PseudoColor (8-bit) displays, install a private colormap while the screensaver is active, so that the graphics hacks can get. unique situations going on with his systems. Its a tiny thing in the scheme of things, I suppose: but KDE doesnt ship with any screensavers at all, and although one can always install the xscreensaver.
