Can't get Supertux to work.

Hi,
I installed Supertux from here but whenever I want to run it it console mode I get this message an tux wont start.

Thanks in advance.

How did you install it?

If you use YAST it will install the necessary dependencies.

I installed it using yast. oneclick install.
And during installation it installed dependencies too. But still Supertux won't work.
Any Ideas?......

These look like paths to source code. It seems you have installed the source code for supertux, and now need to compile the code to get an executable binary file.

tuxdev · 02-02-2010, 02:02 PM

bigrigdriver: Yes, they are paths to the source, but no, it doesn't really mean anything. It's just so that I'd know where in the source the message comes from.

It does seem odd that /usr/bin is in the search path rather than /usr/share/games/supertux2.

The main, fatal problem is with OpenAL and PulseAudio not liking each other. I know that OpenAL and PulseAudio have an unpleasant history with each other.. I don't use PulseAudio, so I'm not sure how to fix this.. maybe upgrade both and see what happens?

korbes · 02-03-2010, 02:53 AM

Hi,
I updated OpenAL and PulseAudio but stil same problem.
Anyone any Ideas on how to get this supertux to work?

tuxdev · 02-03-2010, 11:11 AM

hmm.. I do remember now that if you use "pasuspender", that'll take PulseAudio out of the equation

The link in post # 1 : http://software.opensuse.org/search

Please choose supertux-0.1.3-46.4.i586.rpm
( or supertux-0.1.3-46.4.x86_64.rpm if you have a 64 bit OS.)
And do not choose the package marked src,
is source code only.

Example supertux-0.1.3-46.4.i586.rpm : Click the package
http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...-46.4.i586.rpm
.. and when it has been downloaded, you can click the file,
Yast2 will then install it.

Works OK in Suse 11.2, sound etc.
.....

The supertux files, you have in /usr/src/ , suggest :
delete them all.
.....

Dear knudfl:

I deleted everything from my system with the name supertux. Also the files in /usr/src

Now I installed "supertux-0.1.3-46.4.x86_64.rpm" from the software page. It installed with yast.
And now I get this error message:

Code:

korbes@linux-ouow:~> supertux
Datadir: /usr/bin/../share/supertux
Warning: No joysticks are available.

Error: Couldn't load musicfile
/usr/bin/../share/supertux/music/SALCON.MOD

Aborted
korbes@linux-ouow:~>

Is there a way to solve this problem.
I checked and the file SALCON.MOD is there!

With the command

Code:

supertux --disable-sound

it works perfect. But I really really want it with sound.
Thanks in advance.

knudfl · 02-05-2010, 06:26 AM

I never touched the sound settings,
using default worked OK. Nice sound.
