[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 401122] Re: Performous hangs on the main screen

[Lucio Crusca]

Tried Performous 3.2: it works, e.g. it does not hang and (consequently)
it exits normally when the window closes.

Status in “performous” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: performous

I launch performous and the main screen shows up. I get no sound here, but the real problem is that it occasionally hangs if I press one of the keys S or Q (Start, Quit). Only the C and P keys (Configure and Practice) always work as intended.

Sometimes I'm able to practice a bit, but then it's almost a sure bet it will hang on a key press in the main menu.

Once hung, xkill does not seem to kill it either, it just closes the window, but the performous process is only sensible to a brute kill -9 or other uncaught signals.

If I run performous from the shell I get the following output:

$ performous

and the last lines repeat until I kill performous.
