Screensaver doesn't appear in xscreensaver in Fedora 34, Gnome 40.4 #32

I made everything according to instructions.

The script is in place:

bash-5.1# ls -al /usr/lib/xscreensaver/
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root  7832 Oct 14 01:11 atv4-2k

The correct entry is added to the ~/.xscreensaver file:

bash-5.1# grep -A 1 -B 1 "ATV" .xscreensaver
programs:                                     \
             "ATV4-2k"  atv4-2k                     \n\
                maze -root                  \n\

When I launch the xscreensaver application, I don't see the ATV screensaver: image

Not sure why it's not showing up. As a test, make sure no instances of xscreensaver are running:

killall xscreensaver
killall xscreensaver-demo

Restart it and check again. If that doesn't work try deleting the config and re-creating it.

@graysky2 I was restarting the computer several times. Killed all xscreensaver processes. No luck.

Does it matter who is the owner of the /usr/lib/xscreensaver/atv4-2k? Should it be root? Also, might it be that on Fedora the location of the script should be different? I was tried to find the location the xscreensaver is using on Fedora, but didn't find anything specific.

It should still appear in the list.

I have the same problem with a fresh installation on Archlinux

graysky2 commented 2 years ago

I do not know what to tell you guys... I just did a fresh install and it worked per the instruction.

You must edit ~/.xscreensaver to add support for this screensaver
    Find the line "programs:" and simply add the following below it:
    "ATV4-2k" atv4-2k \n\
    "ATV4-4k" atv4-4k \n\

My ~/.xscreensaver looks like this:


...
textProgram:    fortune
textURL:        https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NewPages&feed=rss
dialogTheme:    default

programs:                                                                     \
                     "ATV4-4k"  atv4-4k                                     \n\
-                               maze -root                                  \n\

@plagov - if you are still wanting to try on Fedora, can you check where that distro installs the actual screensavers? See: https://github.com/graysky2/xscreensaver-aerial/issues/34#issuecomment-1211446130

Feel free to re-open if that did not fix your issue.
