sol

Thanks for your bug. How does it "stopped working"? Does it say something? Does it crash? Does it hang? Could you describe what happen?

When I click on the menu choice for AisleRiot the PC "counts on its
fingers". That is: The Ubuntu version of Window's hourglas is on the
screen for several seconds. Then it disappears without anything
happening. If I go to /usr/games/ an click on sol nothing happens. I
have no crashes or any other bad things happening to my system.

Can you open a terminal and type /usr/share/sol in there and paste the output here?

What architecture do you use? What do you install to get the issue?

I'm not quite sure I know what you mean, being a newbie to Linux, but I
have a PC with 256 MBytes RAM, a pentium processor of some kind and a
dual boot system so I also can run Windows ME. As I said earlier I had
the same problem with hoary hedgehog, so I don't think the problem is
with hoary or breezy (which I use now), but as I said, AisleRiot stopped
working after I installed some other package. What the package was with
hoary I can't remeber, but now it came after installing a package called
"brahms". Installed is perhaps not right since I can find no trace of
that program either.

You started the game as root - could you do this as a normal user?

No I could not, and now I can't start it as root either.

Hm, what does it say in the terminal, if you start it as a normal user?

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough. What happens, if you run /usr/games/sol (it = the game) in a terminal?

Otherwise: nothing

I still can't open AisleRiot from the menu. There is, however a menu
choice: freecell that I can open and from that solitaire program I can
access all the solitaires in AisleRiot.

Could you try again?

Bug confirmed here.

Version:
Gnome aisleriot 2.12.1
(no third party card games / addons installed)

uname -r:
2.6.12-10-386

Running Ubuntu Breezy, with newest updates.

To reproduce:
1. Start Aisleriot
2. Go to "Select Game" and select "Elevator"
(I tested every game, all other worked correctly)
3. Close Aisleriot
4. Start Aisleriot again

What happens:
> janne@gondor:/$ /usr/games/sol
> ERROR: Unbound variable: droppable?
Aisleriot does not start.

What should happen:
Aisleriot should start normally.

To get the game working again, use gconf-editor to change /apps/aisleriot/game_file to something that works (eg. klondike.scm). After that you can start the game normally again.

A bit more info can also be found here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1144

On a related note:
If I leave /apps/aisleriot/game_file empty in gconf, Aisleriot crashes upon starting with no error message (generic gnome "application has quit unexcpectedly" message). Should I file a new bug report for this?

Ah... right. Could somebody with Dapper try to reproduce it?

Can't reproduce it on Dapper...

From debian/changelog:

gnome-games (1:2.13.3-0ubuntu1) dapper; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - Aisleriot:
      - New game from Zach Keene: King's Audience.
      - Agnes: slight rules change to make play more intuitive (callum).
      - Ctrl-O is the new menu shortcut for "Select Game" (callum).
      - Fix elevator so it works again (callum).
      - Debugging code now returns stack traces.
      - Thirteen: Change the waste layout, the two cards at the right are
        now in play rather than the end cards. Also bug fixes (callum).
    - Gnometris:
      - Redo the scoring and level system. The speed increases more slowly,
        but never stops increasing. Removing multiple lines scores more and
        there is a bonus if you manage to clear the entrie field. The bonus
        for using "fast-fall" have been removed (callum).
      - New option for beginners: "Show where the piece will land" (callum).
