Screensaver Settings

  • 772

Hello, world.

I recently installed ubuntu 11.10. I had been using 10:10, and did a reinstall to start fresh on this new version. The thing is I encountered myself with more than a few diferences, mostly in settings.

Now I can't seem to find the means to configuring my screensaver. ¿Where are screensaver settings?

    In Ubuntu 11.10 screensavers are disabled.

    You can install it by typing into the terminal (Ctrl + Shift + T)

    sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver

    Then also run:

    sudo apt-get install xscreensaver xscreensaver-gl-extra xscreensaver-data-extra

    You should be able to access the screensaver by Alt + F2 and typing xscreensaver

    If you want the screensaver to run at startup, add it to Startup applications.
