hi @penguin_nedyalkov,

install the following package via the terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t) and then browse for the screen-saver you installed!:

sudo apt-get install xscreensaver

That solution is incorrect, the right way to do it (and to install the correct packages) is via the Getting Started section of Ubuntu MATE Welcome :slight_smile:️
