hi,
I have now a big problem with xscreensaver.
Up to yesterday, it worked perfectly, but I had to re-install Debian
on my PC, and now if fails
when I run "xscreensaver" I get:
xscreensaver-systemd: 13:59:54: user bus connection failed: No medium found
If I run "xscreensaver-demo", I get "Segmentation fault"
I was unable to find what changes from my previous install to the new one
can explain that.
Has anybody an idea?
best regards,
Pierre Frenkiel

one on the binaries provided with the program: scooter
and that works perfectly
I'm just curious to understand why the xscreensaver itself no more works...

Try 'xscreensaver-demo &exit'. It will ask to restart a non running
xscreensaver service. Try to purge xscreensaver packages and reinstall
them again.
'sudo apt-get purge xscreensaver* ; sudo apt-get install xscreensaver
xscreensaver-data-extra'

Err that runs xscreensaver-demo and then immediately exits from the
terminal session that starts it. I'm not sure why you'd want to do that?

No it won't!
