Fedora 10 + KDE + missing screensavers
Today I made another interesting discovery in Fedora 10. My (somewhat) vanilla install did not present me with any other screensavers than the one called ‘Blank screen’ or whatever. A case of packages for screensavers not being installed? I thought so and went and made sure that the following packages got registered in the system:
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | xscreensaver xscreensaver-base xscreensaver-extras xscreensaver-gl-base xscreensaver-gl-extras rss-glx rss-glx-kde rss-glx-xscreensaver |
Still no luck. Perhaps you have to log out and in again? Tried that, no luck. Some digging around the net revealed that you have to do a simple
| 1 | yum install kdeartwork-extras |
to get the screensavers. Go figure.
I hope this will help other people in need of something to enjoy while code is compiling (or the spouse is having another fit).
