Where are the missing screen savers?

Asked by Ricardo Bánffy

Hi folks.

I can't find some screensavers I loved to have in Edgy (phosphor, apple2, BSOD, pong). I googled and apt-cache searched for them with no success. That's bad because Windows users loved to drop by my desk just to be impressed with Edgy's screensavers.

Is there a repository I should know about?

"sudo apt-get install xscreensaver-data-extra" and let the show begin ...

Just to be on the safe side, if you don have xscreensaver already installed, I believe you also need it (funnily enough, it is not a dependancy of xscreensaver-data-extra):

sudo apt-get install xscreensaver
