I am new to Zorin, about 2 weeks. I would like to set up my lockscreen to show a slideshow. The posts I have read all talk about installing Xscreensaver, however when I try to download that using terminal, it just says no such software. Has it been removed? and can anyone suggest a way of doing this
Cheers

Try
sudo apt install xscreensaver-gl
instead.

@Tinman5511 . I know you have stated you are running Z16 Pro in title of this post, but can you do us and yourself a favour by editing your forum profile, to indicate the edition you have is "Pro". That way, whenever you next post on the forum, you will avoid the question "which edition of ZorinOS do you have?". Thanks. Zab

Ok thanks, that got it downloaded, sorry to be a pain, but now how do I get it to where I can see it? This is small steps for me a lifetime windows user, just moved to Linux
I know I said to install xscreensaver-gl, but when I (only just) installed it, it doesn't appear on the menu or did it do anything in the terminal.
So maybe try
sudo apt install xscreensaver
again (not removing xscreensaver-gl) then it should appear on the menu as 'Screensaver'.
Yes that worked, thank you for your reply
