How To Fix Openshot And Appimages Not Working On Debian And Ubuntu.

 I am running Debian 12 Bookworm with the Mate desktop and I use Openshot Video Editor Appimage version. Because the version that both Ubuntu and Debian provides in the package manager is so old which I don't like. As I would rather have the latest version which is updated. Unfortunately the only way to get that on Debian, and Ubuntu is to install the Appimage version. As there is no Deb File and I found that after I updated my system that Openshot no longer worked. It just wouldn't run although other Appimages I had on my system did.

Get The Updated Version Of XScreensaver On Linux Mint And Ubuntu.

How To Install The Latest Version Of XScreensaver On Linux Mint.

 This also works on Ubuntu, Debian Bookworm and all Debian and Ubuntu based distros.

Linux Mint and Ubuntu both come with XScreensaver but it is  5.45 which is a very old version. Debian Bookworm which I also have comes with version 6.06 but it is better to have the latest version. Both for security reasons and to get the latest features that the new version has to offer. Which is a better lockscreen and different lockscreen themes that are not in the old version.

Version 5.45 is very old and is years out of date. Also you are missing out on some nice new features of the latest version if you are running the old version.

Enable XScreensaver On Cinnamon.

XScreensaver works on most Linux desktops but on Cinnamon it is a bit more complicated and you have to do some tweaking to make it work. The reason is that the Cinnamon desktop comes bundled with the Cinnamon screensaver.Which cannot be removed because if you remove it you will uninstall the whole desktop. Many people are not happy with the Cinnamon screensaver which is not a screensaver at all. It is a screen lock the same as the Gnome screensaver is just a screen lock. In early versions of Cinnamon you could run other screensavers in Cinnamon screensaver but Linux Mint removed this in later versions. I don't know what the reason is but here is how you can get XScreensaver back.
