To install Gluqlo on Ubuntu Ubuntu 14.04 LTS through 16.04 LTS you need to add the application’s official PPA to your Software Sources: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:alexanderk23/ppa sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get install gluqlo You also need to remove gnome-screensaver: sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver Install Gluqlo If you don’t, you can install xscreensaver from Ubuntu Software, or via apt by using the following commands (as we’ll be using the terminal to install Gluquo i’m going to assume you don’t mind using it here): sudo apt-get install xscreensaver xscreensaver-gl-extra xscreensaver-data-extra This suggests the problem is 'Executable path is not absolute', so I opened the file /usr/lib/systemd/user/rvice and it contains: Unit DescriptionXScreenSaver Service ExecStartxscreensaver Install WantedBydefault.

I personally like having a screensaver running on my PC when i’m not using it, and if you do too you’ll likely already have XScreenSaver installed and set up. Instead, when you leave your computer idle for a set period Ubuntu blanks the display to conserve power. Ubuntu no longer bundles a screensavers with the default build. This suggests the problem is "Executable path is not absolute", so I opened the file /usr/lib/systemd/user/xscreensaver.Looking for a nifty screensaver for Ubuntu?

It was the latest version when Debian jessie entered code freeze on. Then I followed the instructions here and I did: sudo apt-get remove -auto-remove gnome-screensaver darkbibble wrote: the version of xscreensaver that is for raspbian is about 10 years old, No.

I guess, this is good and excludes the possibility that screensaver just doesn't get automatically started on start-up. If after a restart I type xscreensaver -nosplash I get: xscreensaver: 18:39:29: already running on display :0 (window 0x1a000de) I was afraid to delete the sktop file, so I out commented everything in it. Curiously, when I type locate sktop I get: /etc/xdg/autostart/sktop But If I wait for the screen to time out, it just goes blank black like the gnome-screensaver does, despite that I have gnome-screensaver installed. If I lock the screen with Cntrl+Alt+L then the xscreensaver starts. I don't understand Linux and sys-admin stuff, but I have installed recently xscreensaver Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS as described here and I have followed all the steps.
