1 Hi list,
2 i'm trying to install the rss-glx screensaver and i'm using the KDE
3 window manager.
4 After a successful installation i can see the kscreensaver entries in
5 the "Screen Saver" section of the kcontrol module. However when i try
6 to test the screensaver or tweak the screensaver with the setup option
7 nothing happens.
8 Looking into more details in the .desktop links that define the menu
9 entries, it appears that it is searching for two programs "kxsconfig"
10 for the setup and "kxsrun" for the run part, that are actually non
11 existing in my machine....
12
13 Here's an example for the solarwinds saver:
14
15 #cat /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/solarwinds.desktop
16
17 [Desktop Entry]
18 Encoding=UTF-8
19 Exec=solarwinds
20 Icon=kscreensaver
21 Type=Application
22 Actions=InWindow;Root
23 Name=Solarwinds (GL)
24
25 [Desktop Action Setup]
26 Exec=kxsconfig solarwinds
27 Name=Setup...
28
29 [Desktop Action InWindow]
30 Exec=kxsrun solarwinds -- -window-id %w
31 Name=Display in specified window
32 NoDisplay=true
33
34 [Desktop Action Root]
35 Exec=kxsrun solarwinds -- --root
36 Name=Display in root window
37 NoDisplay=true
38
39
40 Any ideas?
41
42 PS: they are working well if one calls them directly on the command line
43 (i.d. /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/solarwinds)
44
45 Regards,
