[Bug 106060] Re: [r128 1002:5446] Selecting the Molecule screensaver makes the PC freeze. It is completely unresponsive.

 

Screensaver Molecule freezes computer.  I found my solution. Go into
root by $ sudo -i, give password, and then at root# rm
/usr/lib/xscreensaver/molecule, and then root# rm
/usr/share/xscreensaver/config/molecule.xml, and then remove from the
gnome-screensaver # rm /usr/lib/gnome-screensaver/molecule.  I went and
uninstalled the entire package gnome-screensaver and this removed the
settings at menu System | Preferences | Screensaver.  So had to install
the gnome-screensaver package again, and the download did not have those
screensavers listed.  I used the Synaptic Package Manager listed in menu
System, and also did a backup.  Here's my references URL
http://www.debianadmin.com/simple-package-management-with-synaptic-
package-manager-in-ubuntu.html , and the for sbackup URL
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/backup-and-restore-your-ubuntu-system-using-
sbackup.html .  Mine is fine now, and using another image for
screensaver with settings.  Thanks to everyone for your help.  Karen
