Hello Ttuuxxx,

What more do I need to do to make Tuxtype activate?

I've downloaded and installed the 4 SDL libs.
I've downloaded and installed tuxtype game only.
The game icon shows in the menu under *fun*.
When I attempt to execute the program the screen flickers for a moment but nothing more happens.

Is there more to the setup to make the game activate?

Here is the configuration of the hosting machine:
Toshiba Satellite 1415-S115 - RAM=512MB - Processor=Intel Celeron 2.0 GHz
More specs found at: [url] http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/Toshiba-satellite-1415-s115/1707-3121_7-31001078.html[/url]
Running Lupu 520 as a full install with no other OS resident.

ttuuxxx,
Is this the right page? http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/lucid/tuxtype

I'm unsure of what to download. There are so many files.
If this is the right page, then which specific files do I download?

I'm assuming that MD5 checksum is used to check the files once they are downloaded?
Or, is MD5 checksum only for Ubuntu files?
Is there a different checksum procedure for Puppy files?

Thanks in advance for your timely response.

Yes, I just completed a pretty good test of each of the components. All sections came up exceptionally fast. Nothing has hung up. The sound is loud and clear. It's working slick as a whistle!

This version differs slightly from the version packaged with XUbuntu 10.04 OS which is where I encountered it. But, either version is a superb teaching tool for both kids and adults.

I also would like to thank you ttuuxxx for the file that makes tuxtype work at once! My kids can use it now in Puppy Linux.

Tuxpaint couldnt get it work in 5.2.5, installed the sdl files, then tuxpaint.
It flashes with a black screen shortly then quits.

Hopefully there will be a one file install soon too! Very Happy

ttuuxxx,
Good Sunday Evening,

I use Tux Typing in Puppy-528 without issue.
I find this program most helpful to people learning to type and learn English.
However,
Tux Typing doesn't want to activate in Puppy-431 which I use alot in older machines.

The audio files work.

Here is a screenshot of Pfind of "Tux".
(I cropped out the page full of .png references)

Here is screenshot of *dmesg* taken after no activation of TT.

Here is screenshot of /usr/games.

Here is the machine and OS:
Machine:
Toshiba Satellite P10-s429 (with old bios)
512 RAM, screen resolution 1280x800
OS:
Puppy-Linux 431 frugally installed on HDD
Seamonkey 2.16.2 loaded as an .sfs on HDD

Do you see anything missing?
Thank you!
