SOLVED - Screensavers

[macondo]

I want to remove all screensavers, but i can't find them, thanks

In terminal you can

Code: Select all

xscreensaver

to edit your screensaver settings.

Or to remove completely they are here.

/usr/share/xscreensaver

at least in my fluxbox and lxde.

EDIT: well if xscreensaver is already running you can

Code: Select all

xscreensaver-command -prefs

to get to it as well.

To locate the screensaver package you could try:

Code: Select all

$ ls /var/log/packages/ | grep screensaver

which in my case gives:

Code: Select all

xscreensaver-5.12-x86_64-1

then you could remove the package itself:

Code: Select all

# removepkg xscreensaver

Or else use Gslapt to remove the package, whichever.

Code: Select all

xscreensaver-command -prefs

to get to it as well.

xscreensaver-demo should open the screensaver preferences, too.

Bad idea! Use spkg -d xscreensaver instead. This is why we have package managers

I'll keep in mind for next time, thanks again

You should still run that command because xscreensaver has more file than the single one you've deleted.

OK, will do it.
