I just emerged ktuberling as a standalone game of the kdegames package. But it refuses to start. When launching I get a "Fatal Error: unable to load the pictures, aborting" dialog box. As user, I never managed to bget it started, as root, it stared the first time but since then refuses to start with the same error message. the files seem to be there. output of qpkg -l ktuberling: /usr /usr/kde /usr/kde/3.4 /usr/kde/3.4/bin /usr/kde/3.4/bin/ktuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/menu.speech.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/button.new.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/button.print.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/toolbar.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/button.redo.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/ktuberling.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/menu.playground.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/button.undo.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/technical-reference.docbook /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/button.save.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/menu.raw.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/common -> /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/common 1121337267 /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/index.cache.bz2 /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/menu.game.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/gameboard.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/button.open.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/index.docbook /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/menu.help.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/ktuberling/menu.edit.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/pics /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/pics/potato-mask.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/pics/aquarium-game.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/pics/penguin-mask.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/pics/potato-game.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/pics/penguin-game.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/pics/aquarium-mask.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/pics/layout.xml /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/museum /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/museum/grandpa.tuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/museum/businessman.tuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/museum/idiot.tuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/museum/sea.tuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/museum/cyclop.tuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/museum/fly.tuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/museum/dali.tuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/museum/picasso.tuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/museum/hippie.tuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/museum/happy.tuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/museum/miss.tuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/museum/serious.tuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/museum/crazy.tuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/museum/mouse.tuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/museum/cool.tuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/museum/einstein.tuberling /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/sounds /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/sounds/en /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/sounds/en/tuberling.wav /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/sounds/en/nose.wav /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/sounds/en/mouth.wav /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/sounds/en/ear.wav /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/sounds/en/watch.wav /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/sounds/en/sunglasses.wav /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/sounds/en/moustache.wav /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/sounds/en/earring.wav /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/sounds/en/spectacles.wav /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/sounds/en/eye.wav /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/sounds/en/cigar.wav /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/sounds/en/hat.wav /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/sounds/en/eyebrow.wav /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/sounds/en/badge.wav /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/sounds/en/bow.wav /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/ktuberling/ktuberlingui.rc /usr/kde/3.4/share/icons /usr/kde/3.4/share/icons/crystalsvg /usr/kde/3.4/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32 /usr/kde/3.4/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/apps /usr/kde/3.4/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/apps/ktuberling.png /usr/kde/3.4/share/mimelnk /usr/kde/3.4/share/mimelnk/application /usr/kde/3.4/share/mimelnk/application/x-tuberling.desktop /usr/kde/3.4/share/applications /usr/kde/3.4/share/applications/kde /usr/kde/3.4/share/applications/kde/ktuberling.desktop /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/ktuberling-3.4.1 /usr/share/doc/ktuberling-3.4.1/README.gz /usr/share/doc/ktuberling-3.4.1/AUTHORS.gz /usr/share/doc/ktuberling-3.4.1/ChangeLog.gz Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge ktuberling && ktuberling 2. 3.

I forgot to mention that my WM is xfce4 and I only installed kmail, knode, ktuberling, kpat, ksokoban, kdeprint, kuickshow, kfax and all the (automatic) dependencies.
Can you run "strace -olog -eaccess ktuberling" and attach the resulting "log" file?
Created attachment 64373 [details] strace log here we go
Thanks. The only thing I can suggest is to try to move away the configuration file: .kde3.3/share/config/ktuberlingrc, maybe it's there from a previous version? I don't have any other ideas...
Indeed the config file was from a previous version. Moving it away did the trick. Maybe it's worth to put a small einfo() at the end about old configs that might crash the game. Thank you!
This can be considered a (small) ktuberling bug. There are many other KDE programs having this problem and only a few unlucky people get caught by them. So we cannot really do much, putting einfos in all these ebuilds is probably not worthy...
