From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/8.02 (X11; Linux i686; U; en) Description of problem: I have just installed FC 4. I have preferences to set to run almost any screen saver in the installation when the station is idle for two minutes, and a new screen saver is selected at random on each launch, and every ten minutes thereafter. In the few days FC 4 has been running, quite a number of times I enter the room and see the screen black, with yellow text error message stating that "screen saver (thus-and-so) aborted abnormally" or some such wording. I don't know which all ones don't run (yet) and which ones do; since there are so many failures I suspect the problem is really in the launcher, not the individual screen saver routines. (All of them worked fine with FC 3 before last week.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: I'd have to manually attempt to launch each screen saver routine to see which ones work and which ones don't. Additional info:
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
I have upgraded to Fedora Core 5 and the problem no longer manifests itself.
