Description mark gress 2008-12-17 21:01:34 UTC

Description of problem:  When set as a screensaver via KDE4 (kmenu > System > System Settings > Desktop > Screensavers ) nothing happens.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):  Yum has me up to date/Most current.

How reproducible:  Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install RSS-GLX-KDE and dependencies via Yum
2.Select a RSS screensaver in the control panel
3.Click the "test" button or let the screensaver timeframe expire.  Results are the same either way.
  
Actual results:  The screen either goes blank, or the screen stutters and the mouse cursor disappears while the rest of the screen remains unchanged.

Expected results: A 3d screensaver.

Additional info: from factory install I have two screensavers, blank screen and random.  If I take the executable for any of the RSSGLX screensavers, rename it as krandom.kss and then replace the existing krandom.kss file with the renamed RSS file, when the screensaver timeframe expires and the system automatically kicks on the screensaver it works as expected about 30% of the time.

If I go to a command prompt and type in the name of said rssglx screensaver, they open up as a separate application in a new window and appear to work every time.

mind you, I'm testing kde-4.2(beta2), but upon installing rss-glx-kde, I don't see a "Really Slick" group of screensavers at all.

I had a fixed package for a few days, but Rawhide building problems held this up; rss-glx-0.8.2.p-1.fc10 is building right now.

Comment 8 mark gress 2009-01-01 13:10:00 UTC

The screensavers work as advertised, thanks.

However, in the KDE4 desktop control panel > screensavers

When I click on the "setup" button I get a KSXconfig error.

"No configuration available for Biof (GL)"

This happens for all of them.  I tried uninstalling the RSSGLX and related packages/deps and reinstalling, still there.

Again, thanks.  KDE4 is still rather new, could just be a bug that'll clear itself up with the 4.2 release.

Comment 9 Rex Dieter 2009-01-01 14:58:04 UTC

That sounds like a separate problem (I can reproduce using kde-4.2-beta2).

A problem with rss-glx or KDE?

Comment 11 Rex Dieter 2009-01-05 14:20:12 UTC

It's specific to rss-glx (so without any contrary evidence, that's where the issue lies).
