Description Alexandre Oliva 2008-05-28 00:26:19 UTC
"Couldn't find or load the file skings/gartoon/bar_bg.jpg", it says.  "This
activity is incomplete.  Exit it and report the problem to the authors."

It's quite challenging to exit without a mouse cursor to locate the "OK" to
click on :-)  Even more so if you're in the default full screen mode, because
then that's the "only" way to exit :-)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gcompris-8.4.5-1.fc9 and gcompris-8.4.5-1.fc10

How reproducible:
Every time

Comment 1 Hans de Goede 2008-05-29 22:06:26 UTC
Thanks for reporting this!

Actually there is a nasty bug in gcompris-8.4.5, which causes it to look for its
file under "share/gcompris/boards" instead of under "/usr/share/gcompris/boards"

Notice the small but huge "/usr/" difference, a fixed gcompris is currently
building, see:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=635574
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=635584
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=635590

As soon as these builds are completed, I'll push this as an update for F-8 and F-9.

One important note, once you've had the gcompris crash this causes, you need to
purge your gcompris settings:
"rm -r ~/.config/gcompris"

Comment 5 Alexandre Oliva 2008-06-06 18:39:03 UTC
FTR, gcompris-8.4.5-1 still won't start, but updating to 8.4.5-2 fixes it :-)

(mocking at my own poor wording in the bug report subject)

I had to remove ~/.config/gcompris indeed.

Thanks!
