Any ideas on how I can m...

This is a full hard disk install. The screensaver.desktop file is there but I still have no Screen Saver menu under Appearance & Themes and I get "could not find module 'screensaver'" when I try and run kmcshell screensaver.

Any module that would display an RSS feed would be OK so Fontglide would be fine. I tried Fontglide on two different puppy installs but get an error about "cannot locate text/wrap.pm" - it looks like it needs perl or some perl files to be installed which neither of the ones I have running ...

Seems to work to a degree - Phosphor is one of the modules that supports RSS - to setup RSS, you go to the Advanced Tab on the main Screensaver Preferences screen, and then Text Manipulation and set it to an RSS URL and then it should display RSS info with modules that support RSS. It seems like the...

Lighthouse Screen Saver Settings

I have no screen saver menu option under the Appearance & Themes - if you go to Theme Manager there is a screen saver button but it does not do anything.

Lighthouse Screensaver Configuration

This seems like a very stable and functional operating system. Can anyone tell me where the settings are for the screensaver that is included in this Lighthouse version? I cannot find it in any of the menus or KDE control panel menus.

Full XScreenSaver .pet with RSS Display Support?

I am wondering if there is a .pet available for the full Xscreensaver package. I am looking for a screensaver that can display RSS information - I have been using xscreensaver for months on my Linux desktop which is a different distro and it works good for this. I saw other screensavers that use som...

I edited /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and followed the commands in Part 2 and did get WPA working with my DLink WPA-PSK router but I had to start another terminal session to enter the dhcpcd command as the wpa_supplicant command never successfully returned to the command prompt (although it obviously di...
