Supertux in Karmic 32bit

[running_rabbit07]

I have tried three times to install Supertux and it will not properly install. It shows as being installed in Synaptic and there is a launcher in the Games menu, but the icon doesn't show up right. When I click to launch the game it starts then immediately stops. I just had it installed in Jaunty on the same machine with no issues. Also, the other games I installed appear to be working fine. Here are the results of trying to start the game via terminal;
sarah@sarah-desktop:~$ supertux
Datadir: /usr/share/games/supertux
Warning: Unable to open the file "/home/sarah/.supertux/config" for read!!!
Warning: No joysticks are available.
Segmentation fault
sarah@sarah-desktop:~$ In Jaunty I had no problems with the lack of a joystick.

Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix this.

Thanks all for any help. My daughter will be grateful.

Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

running_rabbit I installed it via synaptic in 64 bit 9.10. It works fine without a joystick. Maybe mark for complete removal, then remove .supertux2 config directory from /home. Reinstall.

Supertux2 works fine. It is the supertux-stable that refuses to work. I have tried uninstalling and deleting all related hidden files and folders, but it still doesn't work. I am not sure if it has to do with Karmic 32. I did do the kernel upgrade this morning, so I'll give it another try and see if that had anything to do with it. Thanks for replying.

Try creating a supertux-config file, these contents may work:

(supertux-config
;; the following options can be set to #t or #f:
(fullscreen #t)
(sound #t)
(music #t)
(show_fps #t)

;; either "opengl" or "sdl"
(video "opengl")

;; joystick number (-1 means no joystick):
(joystick -1)
(joystick-x 0)
(joystick-y 1)
(joystick-a 0)
(joystick-b 1)
(joystick-start 2)
(joystick-deadzone 4096)
(keyboard-jump 273)
(keyboard-duck 274)
(keyboard-left 276)
(keyboard-right 275)
(keyboard-fire 306)
)

supertux segfaults when it uses SDL, which is the default. If you run it as supertux --opengl, then it will work fine.
