Hello ,

After upgrading to Big Sur a number of screensavers work erratically:

For example MOSAIC which in preview works and when it is launched remains frozen ......
SLIDING PLAN ditto

it seems that it is Screen saver coming from ILIFE .....

the console says:
Nov 16 09:30:29 iMac iLifeSlideshows [631]: getattrlist failed for /Library/GPUBundles/AppleIntelSKLGraphicsVADriver.bundle/Contents/MacOS/AppleIntelSKLGraphicsVADriver:

If you tag Show Time in Screen Saver it seems works properly.....

Any one have a Idea?? in advance many Thanks!!

So those graphics errors, in general, tend to pop up with other screensavers, so I don't think they are your issue. But I did try Mosaic here and it also hangs, after some digging I found this :

erreur 14:30:03.837445+0100 accountsd "Cannot check access to a private account type: com.apple.account.AppleAccount"
erreur 14:30:03.838207+0100 accountsd "Client (<private>) attempted to access restricted account type: com.apple.account.AppleAccount"
erreur 14:30:03.838244+0100 accountsd Unentitled access by client 'iLifeSlideshows' (selector: <private>)
erreur 14:30:03.838387+0100 iLifeSlideshows "Error returned from daemon: Error Domain=com.apple.accounts Code=7"

Looks like they may have forgotten to set some permissions. This is on 11.2 (20D5042d) here. iLife-Slideshow is the wrapper for some of the old Apple screensavers with special permissions, but they may have missed some I guess. I'd suggest you file a feedback.
