Description claire robinson 2012-10-03 19:02:54 CEST

munch screensaver gives error when previewed

correct syntax is: 
munch word_list_file affix_file
xscreensaver exited abnormally: signal 0: etc

Comment 1 Derek Jennings 2012-10-25 01:23:10 CEST

This problem is caused because the default configuration of xscreensaver contains a list of all the screensavers but only the ones actually installed are shown in the list of available screensavers.

By default only the Themed screensaver is installed with Mageia, all the others are in additional packages.

However the package hunspell has a binary /usr/bin/munch which has the same name as one of the (not installed) screensavers and xscreensaver tries to treat it as a valid screensaver.

If the real munch screensaver is installed from the xscreensavers-base package then the preview works correctly

I suspect the easiest way to resolve this bug is to just not worry about it :-)
