Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-games

The problem: When selecting "3D Chess view" from Glchess I'm directed to install python-gtkglext1 and python-opengl. Upon doing so and restarting glchess, if I select that option again then glchess crashes. Glchess will continue to crash every time it's started unless either python-gtkglext1 or python-opengl are removed, at which point it will give the same message about needing one of the packages and revert to 2D view.

Expected behaviour: Python-gtkglext1 and python-opengl are installed, user selects 3D Chess view, glchess switches to 3d view.

Confirming this behaviour. Note that this is a python-opengl bug. I've opened a bug against that package (bug 351284) but will keep this open here as most users will perceive this as a glChess bug.

On Ubuntu 8.10 & 9.04rc (both amd64), I have no crash but I have not the expected behaviour.
I get a message saying python-opengl is missing to display 3D mode. But pyhon-opengl IS installed.
Looking closely I saw python-opengl is only available with version number 3 (for python3 ?).
So my problem is perhaps linked to a missing package (python-opengl for python 2.5 or 2.6)

Do you think it is the same problem or a new one ?

To toggle 3D mode from outside glChess (e.g. if it crashes on startup) type the
following from the command line:
$ gconftool-2 --toggle /apps/glchess/show_3d

Right, but if it is fixed before Karmic is released, will an update be released for Jaunty to fix this problem?

Josmar gave me a fix: Install mgltools-opengltk

It's still a bug though, because the code shouldn't crash. It should exit gracefully or allow the package to be downloaded.
