mythbuntu missing screensavers

E-mail Print PDF
After a fresh install of mythtbuntu, it disables all screensavers except for Blank and Random.  And since there are no other screensavers show, Random does nothing anyway.  A workaround for this was described in the following Ubuntu Forums post:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3995148&postcount=2
 
 
Basically, just edit /usr/share/mythbuntu/session.sh
sudo nano /usr/share/mythbuntu/session.sh
 
and comment out the following lines ( they should be at the bottom ):
#export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/mythbuntu
#export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/etc/xdg/mythbuntu
 
===========================================
update:
jaunty broke things again...
 
edit /usr/bin/startxfce4
sudo nano /usr/bin/startxfce4
 
and comment out the following lines:
#if test "x$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS" = "x"
#then
#  XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="/etc/xdg/xubuntu"
#else
#  XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="/etc/xdg/xubuntu:$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS"
#fi
#export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS

#if test "x$XDG_DATA_DIRS" = "x"
#then
#  XDG_DATA_DIRS="/etc/xdg/xubuntu:/usr/local/share:/usr/share:/usr/share"
#else
#  XDG_DATA_DIRS="/etc/xdg/xubuntu:$XDG_DATA_DIRS:/usr/share"
#fi
#export XDG_DATA_DIRS
