HowTo: Create your own Screensaver using native Ubuntu tools.

[Joris Donders]

hi, the tutorial is right after all!! I've set the mode of the screensaver in random though and yes you're right it works !!!
So the last step I've changed the value to random and my own made screensaver was shown!!! Then selected in pref. the screensaver and yes DISCO !

Maybe there are some issues, I've pressed ENTER instead of ok in gconfig-editor, I don't know if that was the problem that I've encountered. But it worked.

Super Topic, I've made various links to this tread on my website and another forum (dutch) !!
Just loving this work-out !!!
Thx for this tutorial

OK, just so everyone knows the only way I found to fix this was to create a debian package to install the screensaver.

Sorry artooro for the late reply. There should be no need to create a deb package, I have done this many times and have not had any difficulty following the steps as I have posted it. Just as an aside I don't even know how to create a deb package
