supertuxkart-0.6.2-2.1.i586 defect?

I downloaded the rpm above from Index of /repositories/games/openSUSE_11.2

My system is a openSUSE 11.2 with a kernel 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop
and KDE 4.3.1.

As i wanted to start that application from Kickoff nothing happened, so i tried to start it from konsole:

Data files will be fetched from: ‘/usr/share/games/supertuxkart/’
Config file ‘/home/pingu/.supertuxkart/config’ does not exist, it will
be created.
Assertion ‘m->n_waiting_for_accept > 0’ failed at
pulse/thread-mainloop.c:221, function pa_threaded_mainloop_accept().
Aborting.
Abgebrochen

Whats the matter? Is that package defect or is my configuration insufficient?
The static binary from supertuxkart.sourceforge.net is working on my system. But i’d like to use the version from openSUSE-Build-Service.

I would appreciate your help.
Thanks a lot.

I’ll do a report on bugzilla tomorrow.

SuperTuxKart uses PulseAudio, and in KDE4 PulseAudio is not available (in Gnome it’s the default audio server)
The first thing to do is install PulseAudio, then:

  1. The fast solution
    as root execute
    setup-pulseaudio --enable
  2. The best solution
    look at this site:
    PulseAudio - openSUSE
    PerfectSetup - PulseAudio

Hope this helps
:wink:

Thanks for your help. There is also a bugreport on Novell as i mentioned above that i will report it. They found a workaround without pulseaudio. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557537
