Crash in Chess after program start

Thanks for your report, please do not forward bug upstream if they are not yet confirmed here, this bug was reported here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452746 ; and it was an ubuntu related, not gnome. Thanks again.

Bug is not fixed as it still occurs for me.

I didn't mean to file it upstream by the way. it was bug-buddy that popped up, I just followed the indicated steps and I assumed it was going to be send to launchpad instead of straight to gnome's bugzilla. If this should not happen then that is a bug in gnome-bug-buddy.

In one of the gnome bugreports, this is said to be a consequence of this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-gnome2/+bug/126144

Which version of gnome-games and python-gnomecanvas do you have installed?

With the latest updates on gutsy, it doesn't happen any more, it was caused by the bug I mentioned in my previous comment, but now it crashes with the following message:

Yes that's known upstream http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459740 ; but is another bug. thanks for your reply.

Please do not set a bug status to fix released when it is not fixed. This still occurs.

In gnome-bugs #459740 they mention (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459740#c35) that the issue should have been resolved with the gtk2 2.11.6 (IIRC). Aptitude shows that is the version of gtk2 installed on my gutsy system, but glchess still crashes on startup. Any ideas?

Wouter, as i said the bug that you reported, the one related to the gnomecanvas is fixed, so this bug is marked as it. We know that there's the other problem with glchess but is not the one you described in this bug report, please open a new report for it so we can track it better, thanks for your interest.
