New install of 9.04. The only screen saver option available from the display setup is "Blank screen". If I click the "OpenGL" option I get nothing. Where did they all go?

Re: Screen savers missing from install cd?
Open your favourite package manager and look for kscreen and xscreen.
If I remember correctly there were no screensavers on the 8.10 CD. -

Re: Screen savers missing from install cd?
Hi,
If you don't have screensavers. You can do this:
1. Open Synaptic
2. Search for the word "screensavers":
3. Install the required packages, you will now see them! (kscreensaver package)
You will see also that you can install more then just the basic screensavers!
That should fix your problem

Re: Screen savers missing from install cd?
I had this same problem. I'm curious, why would an OS not include some sort of screen saver?? I know people may want their preferred screen saver, but it seems to me something should come standard.KB3NRY<br /><br />Dell Inspirion 1405<br />110GB HDD<br />4GB RAM<br />Vista Business<br />Kubuntu 8.10Comment

Look at the size of the iso or CD and you'll have the answer to the question why there are no screen savers included.Comment

Re: Screen savers missing from install cd?
I can see where they may not want it to be too big to fit on a CD, but is having a screensaver going to be what makes or breaks that?
I'd rather have a screen saver by default than have wobbly windows and the ability have them blow up when I close them. Those features are cool, but I'd prefer to have to install them instead. But that's just my personal preferences.KB3NRY<br /><br />Dell Inspirion 1405<br />110GB HDD<br />4GB RAM<br />Vista Business<br />Kubuntu 8.10Comment

Re: Screen savers missing from install cd?
But there is a default 'screen saver' included, a black screen.
These days Saving the Screen is no longer an issue, screen savers are besides pretty mainly for auto-locking the computer during absence and that is included in the black screen.
The CD is a minimalistic attempt at getting a working Live Demonstration, when you want more you should get the DVD.Comment
