Bug Description

[Impact]
On my setup, pokerth crashes 100% of the time when trying to create and join a LAN game between 2 computers running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

[Test Case]
1) connect your 2 computers running ubuntu on a network (in my case, on my internet routeur)
2) start pokerth on both computer
3) on one of the computer, click option 3 and create a LAN network game
4) on the other, choose option 4 and enter the ip address of the first computer (I used ifconfig)
5) progress bar gets stuck at 80% and pokerth crashes, nothing happens for the host computer

Expected behaviour: depends on the problem, but
1) it should not crash
2) it should display the reason of the failed attempt

[Regression Potential]
Low, the fix was commited to upstream Git (https://github.com/pokerth/pokerth/commit/7bc8c1b9f288c1591570f466dce318828acbf486) two month ago and is in the current upstream stable release, working fine there and in Debian.

Hi,

this *should* be fixed in 0.9.5. Can you try the version from https://launchpad.net/~pkg-games/+archive/ppa? If it fixes the issue, I will try to get a backport for Precise done.

Thanks
Evgeni

Hi,

I have prepared an SRU for precise fixing this bug and #947159.
You can grab the source package at http://people.debian.org/~evgeni/tmp/pokerth-0.9.4-precise_sru/
Debdiff attached, but beware it does not reproduce the change of the pokerth.png for #947159 properly.

Thanks
Evgeni
