After upgrading to Kubuntu 11.4 I am not able to choose any other screen savers than Blank screen and Random (which is the same as blank since there are no other screen savers available).

How can I choose other screen savers?

On my other Kubuntu-computer there is a button called Get new screen savers or something.

and you don't have that button anymore i presume? – Uri Herrera May 20 '11 at 8:54

Enter this at the terminal:

   sudo aptitude search screensaver
   sudo aptitude install [packagename]

Screensaver

You will end up with this installed:

   xscreensaver (-data, -data-extra, -gl, -gl-extra) 
   kscreensaver-kde4 & kscreensaver-xsavers-extra-kde4
