Fedora 20, Xfce comes with no screensavers pre-installed Just take a look.

Menu > Settings > Setting > Settings Manager

If you click on Settings Manager, this screen will open.

If you click on Screensaver, you’ll get this an empty screen to pick your screensaver from

Well ain’t that just prime

Let’s fix this!

Fire up terminal and type:

su

After you have typed your password, type either one off the commands below:

This command for the earlier Fedora versions until 21:

yum install xscreensaver-base xscreensaver-extras xscreensaver-extras-base xscreensaver-gl-base xscreensaver-gl-extras


This command for the Fedora versions from 22:

dnf install xscreensaver-base xscreensaver-extras xscreensaver-extras-base xscreensaver-gl-base xscreensaver-gl-extras

After a while you will be asked if you want to continue, press

y

And you are done!

If you open the screen now, you will see this.

While I am not a fan of the Matrix movies, I do like this screensaver. It just makes me feel more geeky!

I found the code for installing the screensavers here.

(Remember, you can always do the cliccie for a larger piccie )
