Screen savers missing from install cd?

[lwrver]

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?

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

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.

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.
