Has anybody gotten a screensaver to work with Gutsy?

Re: Has anybody gotten a screensaver to work with Gutsy?

Open GL screensaver has worked on my Gutsy system since October . . .

Open GL screensavers have been working right since the last time I reinstalled (about 2 weeks ago); sorry I didn't update this thread, I kinda' forgot about it

I believe I first posted this from the Gutsy beta, everything's gotten better since then

I had this problem too until I did what 3vi1 suggested and they all work fine now. Thank you.

I can't seem to get any of my screensavers working with Gutsy and was wondering if anybody else was having the same problem, or, if somebody could give me with the solution to mine. I'd appreciate any info/input from anybody.

If you're talking about the OpenGL screensavers (Matrix, etc..), I discovered the solution after fighting with them for two hours this morning:

sudo apt-get install kscreensaver-xsavers xscreensaver-data

Apparently the 3D screensaver packages that you can install via Adept don't include these pre-requisites in their package list. I'll go /bug it at launchpad.

Thanks dude, I have had the same problem.
I tried installing xscreensaver from adept with no success.
Your command line solution did the trick though.
Now I just have to get Internet Explorer working.
Work´s remote desktop has a problem with an expired certificate that blocks me from logging in from firefox or konqueror.
