Comment 7 for bug 9740

ahoy,

if you guys are running xscreensaver you need to add the rss-glx screensavers to your .xscreensaver file. In your home directory in the .xscreensaver file the rss-glx screensavers need to go in the list.

If you havent already install xscreensaver and rss-glx_install

sudo apt-get install xscreensaver xscreensaver-data-extra xscreensaver-gl-extra rss-glx xscreensaver-screensaver-webcollage

Then there is a script you have to run to manually add the rss-glx screensavers into the ~/.xscreensaver file. First kill the xscreensaver process if it is already running

killall xscreensaver

Then run the rss-glx install script. I dont think you have to be root because .xscreensaver is in your home directory. You should already have permissions there.

/usr/bin/rss-glx_install

Now open xscreensaver and the new screensavers should be installed and checked. Restart the daemon and you should be all set

I realize this is 10 years old but I am sure many aer still having this problem :)
