Re: Debian package issues

Well, that was pretty snappy... Debian package version 4.4.1.3+dfsg-2 fixes almost everything ('example_richard_kleber' level is still omitted).

Re: Starting Rocks'n'Diamonds when redshift program is running causes R'n'D to crash.

If the above does work, it sounds like too much trouble to get working. Problem solved by deleting Kwin config files in ~/.config and /.local/share and a reconfiguration afterwards. Hmmm, sounds like just 'save and delete the relevant files in ~/.config and ~/.local/share; log in to KDE and see if ...

Re: No "Save Tape" at end of level...

As they say, 'Nun Shall Pass!' :) ===== For some reason, when I opened this page, the 'end of level' image loaded instantly, but the 'start of level' image downloaded extremely slowly, painting in line-by-line over -- I think it might have been as long as a minute.

Re: Starting Rocks'n'Diamonds when redshift program is running causes R'n'D to crash.

googling on the name of the function which is assert()ing, `epoxy_get_proc_address`, I find: https://github.com/anholt/libepoxy/issues/241, leading to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=433589 -- which 'solved' a similar problem by resetting KWin settings. I suggest trying that, keeping copies of ...

Re: Starting Rocks'n'Diamonds when redshift program is running causes R'n'D to crash.

No idea what 'KWin Crash Handler' does, I generally hate those things which get between me and actually being able to understand Linux app crashes. Just write a frickin core file in /var/crash or /var/core and get out of my way!!...

Re: Starting Rocks'n'Diamonds when redshift program is running causes R'n'D to crash.

Editing posts, especially in an active discussion, leads to confusing temporal anomalies... I've downloaded but not installed the Debian `gammastep` package. It is 100% clear that it's intended to work with X11 as well as Wayland. Try fiddling with its '-m' flag, for one thing. Definitely have to fa...

Re: Starting Rocks'n'Diamonds when redshift program is running causes R'n'D to crash.

From the Debian package dependencies (on things like XCB randr library), and gammastep bug tracker, it's clear that it's intended to work on both X11 & Wayland. But setup might be tricky.

Re: Starting Rocks'n'Diamonds when redshift program is running causes R'n'D to crash.

Ok I see it's redshift-gtk under KDE X11. Had somehow glossed over those details on first read. Holger seems to have fired up an equivalent setup, except Ubuntu, and maybe not starting `redshift` successfully since it requires latlong argument. Given the top-level split in *ix desktop environments.....

Re: Starting Rocks'n'Diamonds when redshift program is running causes R'n'D to crash.

There are three related Debian packages, redshift, redshift-gtk, redshift-qt. The latter being GUIs to the utility. I don't use these so I don't know if any of them stay running as a daemon. I think Bryan should start by clearly staying which of those is(are) in use. Second, the initial message talk...

(Plus, in keeping with the general chaos surrounding rnd_jue, I found https://www.artsoft.org/rnd_jue/ which is a wacky empty template for some nebulous future, or ... something?)

Re: Debian package issues

I'm actually working on submitting a Debian bug, and -- unfortunately, even the latest known URL -- https://jb-line.de/rnd/rnd_jue-v8.zip -- is now 404 :( It can be reached at (a Wayback Machine URL embedding the older link): https://web.archive.org/web/20230702180255/http://www.jb-line.de/hp/rnd_ju...

Re: v4.4.1.1 and v4.4.1.2 - Windows 11

I see Holger has already analyzed and is preparing to fix this! But I had already written this so I guess I will send it in anyway :) Your account's Rocks'n' Diamonds directory is missing several subdirectories: it should have, in addition to 'cache' and 'levels', also 'levelsetup', 'scores', and 't...
