Thank you for reporting this. A little background, please. Can you say how you installed Mageia - from the 7.1 Classic ISO, or netinstall. If the former, did you choose *only* LXDE? Did you update the system either during installation, or on re-booting? It has to be said that nothing can be done about the 7.1 installer since its release. But this information may be useful for the forthcoming Mageia 8, and the bug remains a useful reference. I will ask for a check.

Thank you for the clarification. Because a 7.1 installer bug is un-fixable, please accept apologies for closing this; take wontFix as cannotFix. I have noted this fault in the Mageia 7 Errata notes: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_7_Errata#LXDE_screensaver.2Flocker

I'm not following why xscreensaver is only in tainted. A quick check shows that xscreensaver has some copyrighted images related to the Matrix screensaver. The package does allow building it for the normal Cauldron section. Loads of distributions include a normal version of xscreensaver. I think this could be fixed: provide two versions of xscreenaver (trained, non tainted), then add a dependency (recommends/requires/suggests) from some lxde package to xscreensaver. Reopening, feel free to wontfix again, but think more can be done here.

Hi, I checked again and I am sure that xscreensaver is already pushed to core and tainted. Moreover, lxde-common recommends xscreensaver but I think that the Mageia 7 ISO was too big and xscreensaver was removed from the ISO for that. Best regards, Nico.

Argh, indeed. I used urpmq to check this, it only showed tainted. I expected it to show a result per media. Maybe also good to add this to meta-task rpmsrate-raw. Potentially we could maybe provide an update, though this might be a bit excessive.
I also thought that urpmq would show all available versions; in fact it *does*: $ urpmq -i xscreensaver xscreensaver-5.42-1.mga7.src.rpm xscreensaver-5.42-1.mga7.tainted.src.rpm So I simply did not check the O/P suffciently, just the last item; and my Wiki comment about it being in 'tainted' was wrong - someone has already corrected it.

Nicolas' last remark explains everything.

Ah. I have just installed Mageia 8 alpha 1 Classic x64 ISO, choosing *only* LXDE desktop, default application groups; and... On the installed system, 'xscreensaver' is *not* installed; but 'xdg-screensaver' is (from pkg 'xdg-utils'). This is a command line tool, not the same thing. I can find no mention in the Tools menus (Desktop Preferences, Desktop Session Settings, or anything else) of establishing a screensaver. Perhaps this is just me v LXDE. ---------- To test that last point, I have just installed xscreensaver, which pulled in other things: chbg 2.0.1 27.mga8 x86_64 fortune-mod 2.28.0 1.mga8 x86_64 lib64glade2.0_0 2.6.4 14.mga8 x86_64 xscreensaver 5.44 1.mga8 x86_64 xscreensaver-common 5.44 1.mga8 x86_64 which are worth 2.8MB re comment 6. And to invoke it, it has its own independent Tools menu entry. If there are other applications we could ditch from the ISO to make space, I suggest a post on qa-discuss for candidates. I vote immediately for Dasher, for example (nothing against it).

xscreensaver was not removed from the ISO to save space. It is no longer included because it is not mentioned in /usr/share/meta-task/rpmsrate-raw and no package that is included requires it. The ISO build process does not take into account packages that are merely recommended. In mga5, xfce4-settings required xscreensaver, and that was enough to get it included on the ISO. That requirement was gone in mga6. If you want xscreensaver to be included, you either need to make it a hard requirement in task-lxde or add it to /usr/share/meta-task/rpmsrate-raw.

(In reply to Martin Whitaker from comment #10) Thanks for your reply. > If you want xscreensaver to be included, you either need to make it a hard > requirement in task-lxde or add it to /usr/share/meta-task/rpmsrate-raw. I imagine there is a way of making it a requirement of 'task-lxde' if no other screensaver is already installed; otherwise a hard requirement. --------- As so often, DavidG has pre-empted action, in response to the initial complaint comment 0:- task-lxde, Sat Jun 13 2020 - add missing recommended package on xscreensaver (mga#26787) It would have helped to say so, David... mais merci beaucoup.
