Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:39 EST
Description of problem: Supertux fails to start. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -q supertux supertux-0.1.3-3.fc5 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. `supertux' at a command line Actual results: Errors, spits out: "Error: Can't covert to display format /usr/bin/../share/supertux/images/status/letters-black.png Aborted" Expected results: The game to work :)
I'm thinking this may have more to do with a broken SDL library / dependancy.
(In reply to comment #1) > I'm thinking this may have more to do with a broken SDL library / dependancy. You might want to make sure you aren't missing anything on your system. The easiest way to figure that out is to install the yum-utils package, then run "package-cleanup --problems". If it doesn't report any broken dependencies, the problem still may not be with supertux. It could be in one of the libraries it requires.
Evidently, it isn't that. $ sudo package-cleanup --problems Setting up yum Reading local RPM database Processing all local requires No problems found As to a required package being broken... I have a friend who also has supertux (and all its requireds), we both run updates overnight, his works, mine don't :). But I have talked to another person with the same problem as myself, it's not a freak occurance.
It just about has to be a missing dependency. I'll work on trying to reproduce the problem.
Can you install FC5 from CDs into vmware or a spare machine or somesuch, and then install supertux? That should reproduce it pretty easily.
Working on it (in a xen guest actually).
Same here on a machine (which is up to date) with everything (minus GFS bits) from Core.

I just noticed that the FC5 build doesn't appear to have OpenGL support, so I'm going to try enabling that to see if it makes a difference as soon as the build servers are back up.
Yes, i386.
Try 0.1.3-5.fc5 please. (It is in the needsign queue. Hopefully it will get pushed out soon.) If it doesn't Just Work, try running it with --opengl.
0.1.3-5.fc5 works here. As far as I'm concerned, this is resolved.
For me too. Changing resolution to ERRATA (WORKSFORME is for unreproducible bugs).
