Well explained and easy to follow. However I'm having one issue. Once the screensaver kicks in it only shows a black screen. I downloaded your hubble package to make sure that it wasn't an error in my package only, but unfortunately it also shows a black screen. However, it works fine through the screensaver preferences preview. Any ideas? First off, great tutorial! Well explained and easy to follow. However I’m having one issue.

I originally renamed it to 'gemma-slideshow.desktop' in the Ubuntu File Browser GUI but it was still showing up as 'hubble-slideshow.desktop' in the terminal. Once I renamed it again through the terminal, everything worked. Thanks for your help. Turns out that the file was still called ‘hubble-slideshow.desktop’.

When carrying out the steps, I had to install dpkg-dev and dh-make but it still won't work for me. When I run 'dpkg-buildpackage', I get the following error: cp: cannot stat `debian/tmp/gemma-slideshow.desktop': No such file or directory dh_install: cp -a debian/tmp/gemma-slideshow.desktop debian/gnome-screensaver-gemma/usr/share/applications/screensavers/ returned exit code 1 make: *** [binary] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2 I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and all references to 'hubble' in the files you provided have been replaced with 'gemma' (I'm making a screensaver of the actress Gemma Atkinson ;-) ).
