![]() This thread is made for people who want to take a little time to ensure a "Sane" installation of xscreensaver, without needing to directly modify anything provided by the MATE desktop environment. But the reason this isn't sane is because it compromises the integrity of the installation in ways that may affect users after a system upgrade, if you commit to using Mint for that long. That will certainly fix it so xscreensaver is used for everything that expects Mate's screensaver binaries. Ln -s /usr/bin/xscreensaver-demo /usr/bin/mate-screensaver-preferences Ln -s /usr/bin/xscreensaver-command /usr/bin/mate-screensaver-command Ln -s /usr/bin/xscreensaver /usr/bin/mate-screensaver Mv /usr/bin/mate-screensaver-preferences /usr/bin/.mate-screensaver-preferences Mv /usr/bin/mate-screensaver-command /usr/bin/.mate-screensaver-command Not a big deal for most people, but not a sane method either Ĭode: Select all mv /usr/bin/mate-screensaver /usr/bin/.mate-screensaver If you're after that and don't mind your fix to be quick and dirty, this will avoid having to modify a bunch of other stuff, but when an upgrade to mate-screensaver is performed, this method may break and you'll have to do it all over again. It must be said, before anything else that this guide is meant for people who do not want to use symbolic links to spoof xscreensaver so it acts as mate-screensaver. ![]() This will be specifically for MATE but can be applied to other DEs as well, with maybe some extra work here or there. If you don't know what the hype is about, then there are more than enough articles explaining how to replace your DE's screensaver with XScreensaver. No long-winded introduction or rationale, just a simple guide for getting XScreensaver up and running. Using Xfce? XScreensaver is the screensaver by default! ![]() Edit from original Terminal commands were italicized before, but are now underlined to differentiate them from italics used for emphasis. ![]()
