Gnome Hearts stopped working in Kubuntu 14.04

[eldergeek]

I tend to mix and match to get the apps I want and among the things I always add to Kubuntu is Gnome Hearts (because there's no native KDE version of the game). A couple of days ago, following a routine software update, Hearts has stopped working. It still works ok on my Xubuntu 14.04 machine but will no longer run in Kubuntu.

I suggest starting it in a konsole. You might get a message that gives a clue.

I did as you suggested and tried to run gnome-hearts from a terminal. This was the output:

$ gnome-hearts

(process:2430): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::show-crash-dialog after class was initialised

I also discovered today that gedit isn't working either. I tried running it too from a terminal. This was the output:

$ gedit

Not sure why its crashing but may i suggest trying Pysol . You can find it in the repos for 14.04 the package name is "pysolfc" .
