Dear Xfce Developers,

http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/21-Beta/Live/x86_64/Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-21_Beta-4.iso

Please consider the following Request for Enhancement:

I do so love the Live CD's: use them for troubleshooting
and installation of new systems.

Problem: the screen saver comes without any screen savers.
Makes you think the stinker is broken.  Causes a lot of
consternation.  And, makes you look a little stupid in front
of the customer after bragging how well done Xfce Linux is.

Would you please include the screen savers with the screen saver?

Here is a article on the problem:

http://laboinaroja.org/2014/01/28/how-to-install-screensavers-in-fedora-20/


The money part is:
   yum install xscreensaver-base xscreensaver-extras xscreensaver-extras-base xscreensaver-gl-base xscreensaver-gl-extras

Many thanks,
-T

Hey,

  Wish we could help but this issue would actually have to be posted to the fedora bugzilla as we don't have any control over what they add to their LiveCDs. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugzilla Looks like it covers how to use their bug tracker and where it's at.

Hi Eric,

I already did.  They said it was your problem.  That is why I posted to you.

Feel free to tell them it ain't so.

Hey,

  Oh cool. On https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161780
Looks like the issue they have is the bug report is assigned as
Component: 	mate-screensaver
and they would like it to be against
Component:      LiveCD - Xfce

I don't know if you can change that on their bug tracker or if you'll have to open a new bug report just to assign it to the LiveCD - Xfce component.

I just switched it over.

Awesome, let me know if there's more we can do to help. As it's not really an Xfdesktop bug I'm going to close this issue now.
