I recently installed SuperTuxKart. At first, a window would appear for a second and then vanish; then for some reason i was able to start it up a few times, but it crashed as soon as I tried to load a race. Any ideas?

Re: SuperTuxKart
Did you install in from the repositories - using KPackageKit (it's available from there)?Windows no longer obstructs my view.

Yes, I did. It's back to crashing on startup now.Comment

Re: SuperTuxKart
Extremely inconsistent results. I've now been able to run it properly, but it is almost unplayable due to a mess of overlapping textures appearing over the kart. Also, when I exit the game, my panels are gone.Comment

Re: SuperTuxKart
Your GPU is the likely suspect here. Initially, go into K > System Settings > Desktop Effects > Advancedand mark/check Disable functionality checks, save, and reboot to see if there is any improvement.Windows no longer obstructs my view.

Re: SuperTuxKart
It runs okay in Windows (shudder) on the same machine. Could it be a driver issue? It lists Mesa DRI R300 (RS400 5975) 20090101 NO-TCL DRI2 as the renderer, 1.5 Mesa 7.9-devel as the OpenGL version, and radeon as the kernel module.Comment

Re: SuperTuxKart
Try to disable desktop effects before running...
The GFX engine for STK is currently changing, you can get alpha/beta versions--

Re: SuperTuxKart
jpenguine's suggestion should help
I just installed it and it ran ok on a 64 bit with 2 gig ram 6600 nvidia card so it might also, if jpenguine's idea doesn't hlep just be hardwre.
And the NEW version is a LOT better than the older one, I slopped on the bannana peels! lol

Re: SuperTuxKart
After updating, the window appears and the game begins to load, but then it minimizes and the taskbar entry shows circling arrows for a few minutes, then goes away, even with desktop effects disabled.
I might just give up on this game :PComment

Re: SuperTuxKart
I am a SVN tester of STK, and I have to disable desktop effects- but the game runs fine for me...
You can run glxgears fine, right?
Post in the STK Forums, http://forum.freegamedev.net/viewforum.php?f=16, and make sure to include-- the kernel version & GFX DriverComment
