    kbuildsycoca results in koceansaver is not listed in Screensaver

    Using Ubuntu Precise + kde4 version 4.8.3 desktop - Plasma
    Terminal install of KOceansaver according to authors recommended procedure completed successfuly.
    On running kbuildsycoca4, koceansaver is not listed in Screensaver - System Settings. Any suggestions for a newbie?

    try doing this
    Code:
    sudo updatedb
    then after you get the prompt back
    Code:
    sudo locate KOceansaver | less
    or koceansaver ..... we are piping it through less encase it spits out more info than will fit on screen.......now look through the output and see if you can determine ware it went.

      Then ran kbuildsycoca4- but it is still not in the Screensaver OpenGL Screen Saver - System Settings list!
      Is there another way to do this?

        Well, you need to add it to $KDEDIRS* path's, otherwise KDE doesn't see it. You can either create a script which runs at startup, in
        Code:
        $HOME/.kde/env/koceansaver.sh
        with content:
        Code:
        export KDEDIRS=/usr/local:$KDEDIRS
        or add the line above to .bash_profile , and re-login
