I installed Frogatto on openSUSE 42.2, but it does not start. How should I proceed?

Try launching it from a command-line and see what error messages are
displayed, then report those and see if someone can point you in the
right direction.

“It doesn’t start” (or “it doesn’t work”) doesn’t provide any specific,
actionable information. Starting from a terminal window generally will
provide you with information about what’s gone wrong. :slight_smile:

He does not start the game, in the terminal he informed the message below:IN ‘modules/frogatto/module.cfg’: 0
LOOKING IN ‘/home/carlos/.frogatto//dlc/frogatto/module.cfg’: 0
FAILED TO LOAD MODULE: frogatto

that looks like a configuration issue
I’m assuming you got it from the games repo
did you install both the app and data package
what does

zypper se -si frogatto

say

I just installed it to try it out
the same thing happens to me I get an error

linux:~> frogatto
Frogatto engine version 1.3
LOOKING IN 'modules/frogatto/module.cfg': 0
LOOKING IN '/home/***/.frogatto//dlc/frogatto/module.cfg': 0
FAILED TO LOAD MODULE: frogatto

the folder ~/.frogatto does not exist
this is a bugzilla moment
but as I just updated my video drivers (kernel too)
I’m gonna reboot and try again, if I still get that error I’ll file a bug report

I filed a bug report
it should be fixed soonish

apparently the game needs to be started from it’s install folder
you’d need to go to the install dir and start it from there


cd /usr/share/frogatto
frogatto

you can tweak the desktop file to run the game from the proper directory
the fix is in progress for more info see this
