Comment 2 Ben McMonagle 2023-09-06 10:47:57 CEST
added these packages:
xscreensaver-6.07-2.mga9
xscreensaver-base-6.07-2.mga9
xscreensaver-common-6.07-2.mga9
xscreensaver-extrusion-6.07-2.mga9
xscreensaver-gl-6.07-2.mga9

invoked xscreensaver.

GUI preview window states:
very few (or no) screen savers appear to be available.
This probably means that the "xscreensaver extras" and "xscreensaver-gl-extras" packages are not installed.

choosing mode "only one screensaver"
"Munch" then "preview" button results in black screen with text:
"Munch crashed with status 1"  

choosing mode "rando screensaver"
"themed" then "preview" button results in screensaver images when time set to 1 minute

So they need to be added as requires?

Advisory from comment 5 added to SVN. Please remove the "advisory" keyword if it needs to be changed. It also helps when obsolete advisories are tagged as "obsolete".

Keywords: (none) => advisory

Comment 7 Herman Viaene 2023-10-16 15:36:58 CEST
MGA9-64 Xfce on Acer Aspire 5253
No installation issues
A bit surprised as running xscreensaver-settings or xscreensaver-demo both ask to stop light-locker which seems to be a Gnome thing. Found out that MATE requires some Gnome stuff.
Anyway with borh commands I can select and preview choosing from a lot of screensavers. Looks OK to me.

I guess it is a remnant from times when space was scarce.

Maybe suggest is better, so user can easily remove extra screensavers.

"I guess it is a remnant from times when space was scarce.

Maybe suggest is better, so user can easily remove extra screensavers."

As you implied, potentially only a problem when space is scarce. But if space is that scarce, I would suggest that removing screensavers altogether would be a better choice.

I'm going to validate.

Comment 12 Herman Viaene 2023-10-20 14:51:24 CEST
MGA9-64 Xfce on Acer Aspire 5253
No installation issues.
Ref bug 29086 for testing.
Starting xscreensaver-settings or xscreensaver-demo results in the GUI showing up + a popup "Gnome light-locker running. Do you want to stop it"
I've never installed any gnome stuff, but apparently some MATE (fully installed beside Xfce) parts require those.
