Description of problem: Extreme Tux Racer tries to access its games resources in /usr/share/games/extremetuxracer, which does not exist, and fails to start. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0:0.4-9.fc17 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run etracer-wrapper in a console window. Actual results: Screen turns blank for a moment, then your desktop reappears. In the console window you can see several messages indicating the files the game was unable to load. Expected results: The game should run normally. Additional info: The correct resource directory is /usr/share/etracer/.
What does "grep data_dir ~/.etracer/options" give?
# data_dir set data_dir "/usr/share/games/extremetuxracer" That was indeed the problem. After correcting this entry (or just deleting it and having the game recreate it), it works. This is a home directory I carried over from another distribution. Thank you :-)
