fuzzylizard Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 I installed 9.1 without any problems, but when I go into KDE and try to configure a screensaver, I only get the standard four from 9.0. Question is, what package do I need to install for kde 3.1 and mandrake 9.1 in order to get the screensavers back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 You need to install kdeartwork in order to get them. I used texstar's rpm. which worked fine. I can't explain why it does not install in the main distribution. Perhaps it has become an extra for club members? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylizard Posted March 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 Thanks, got it, installed it, and now I have screensavers. Very cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to choose it during the select individual packages during installation. I know for sure I have it during clean installation.

fuzzylizard Posted March 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 Speaking of screensavers -- I opened up xscreensaver and still no xmatrix. Anything in particular that Mandrake has against this particularly incredible screensaver? At one point in time, I changed back to Redhat just for that screensaver! (okay, maybe that is going a little overboard) So, if Mandrake does not include xmatrix, is there anyway of adding it? I remember trying about a year ago to add it and had no luck. Have things gotten better, can I have my mandrake and my matrix too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Texstar Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Speaking of screensavers -- I opened up xscreensaver and still no xmatrix. Anything in particular that Mandrake has against this particularly incredible screensaver? Yes, In the Mandrake Build Spec file it says removing matrix due to possible © problems.

Ixthusdan Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 So, what is the difference, if any between the kdeartwork-kdeclassic file on the 2nd install cd, and the texstar rpm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 No difference I guess.. since it ends with -mdk instead of -tex. Of course, only Texstar knows for sure. Anyway.. kdeartwork-classic only includes the classic kde 3.0 icons.. before they are going full-tilt to crystal icons I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that the download edition of MDK 9.1 would not contain the kdeartwork rpms so I dumped them into the texstar rpm directory so everyone could find them.

I just updated the kdeartwork rpm tonight 3-28-2003 and added back the Matrix screensaver that Mandrake left out for possible legal reasons.
