Solution to Missing Screensaver list in KDE in Mandrake 9.0

[DragonMage]

It seems that there is a bug in menudrake in mandrake 9.0. Whenever I run the sucker and edit my menu, the screensaver listing in KDE control panel is empty. I found a quick and dirty solution for this problem (until a cleaner one like updated packages are found at least).

 

1. Copy all the files located in /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/

to ~/.kde/share/applnk-mdk/.hidden/ScreenSavers/ (you may need to su to root in order to do this, the ~/ is basically /home/<user>/ )

 

2. You may need to change the owner of the files located in the /home/<user>/<blahblahblah> directory to the user from root.

 

3. Restart KDE.

 

4. The Screensaver listing should be back.

 

I am not sure where to put this solution, whether it is in hardware or tips and tricks. I also posted the same solution back to the old board. Hope people that have problems with this are helped.

Gahh!!! Software Software, not hardware... I really need to read what I type before pressing the post button!

Well.......would be nice, but in the second path are no files, just the four default ones, Mandrakeslide, etc....

 

Where do i find them???
