Ultimate Edition Forum

I have Ultimate Version 3.4 installed on my dual core Dell Laptop. Right now I have a problem concerning the Screen Saver. After I boot up the system and get it running the screen saver will not come on. I have tried setting it several times all to no avail. When I go to the screen saver module I get this warning box that kicks up and it says the following: The Xscreensaver daemon doesn't seem to be running on display "0.0" Launch it now or cancel. I cannot figure out what is going on. Can any one help me out. Ultimate 3.4 is installed on a Dell Precision M6300 with a 160 gb Hard drive and 4 gb of memory. It does have an Nvidia video card. The system is current with all updates. What is going on. Help me out guys.

Many thanks in advance.

Try this first, open System-Preferences-Startup Applications, then add. Name it whatever and use command xscreensaver -nosplash. Close and restart. If that dont work you can open terminal as root by typing sudo -s then password. Type #sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver then #sudo apt-get install xscreensaver xscreensaver-gl-extra xscreensaver-data-extra. Then restart.

I followed your directions and the first recommendation worked perfectly. Thank you very much for your helpful information. I have been using Ultimate since version 2.8 and have enjoyed it. Now I have been using 3.4 since it came out and I am really hooked. I can't with to see what 3.5 will be like. Again many thanks for your insight as to rectify my screensaver problem.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !
