Re: xscreensaver problem

[operation . privacyenforcement]

Try 'xscreensaver-demo &exit'. It will ask to restart a non running 
xscreensaver service. Try to purge xscreensaver packages and reinstall 
them again.
'sudo apt-get purge xscreensaver* ; sudo apt-get install xscreensaver 
xscreensaver-data-extra'

I have now a big problem with xscreensaver.
Up to yesterday, it worked perfectly, but I had to re-install Debian
on my PC, and now if fails
when I run "xscreensaver" I get:
   xscreensaver-systemd: 13:59:54: user bus connection failed: No 
medium found
If I run "xscreensaver-demo", I get "Segmentation fault"
I was unable to find what changes from my previous install to the new one
can explain that.
Has anybody an idea?

I found a good work around: instead of calling xscreensaver, I call
one on the binaries provided with the program: scooter
and that works perfectly
I'm just curious to understand why the xscreensaver itself no more works...
