Fresh emerge of pydance doesn't work. I've repeated this on multiple machines with different dependency versions, and have tried upgrading to most recent libsdl, sdl-mixer, sdl-ttf, and pygame. The first error I've hit is: File "/usr/share/games/pydance/arrows.py", line 17, in AbstractArrow "assist-%s.ogg" % d)) pygame.error: mixer system not initialized I managed to solve this this by editing the code, but then had it hanging while loading fonts. I couldn't find an easy solution to this problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -av libsdl sdl-mixer sdl-ttf pygame pydance 2. pydance Actual Results: File "/usr/share/games/pydance/arrows.py", line 17, in AbstractArrow "assist-%s.ogg" % d)) pygame.error: mixer system not initialized Expected Results: Opened a game window to play pydance.
you didn't include the output of emerge --info as instructed on the bug submission page. reopen with that info.
Emailed emerge --info output to Mr.Bones. though bug persists despite changes to USE variables and happens on multiple systems with various configurations.
you were supposed to put the info in the bug, not e-mail a developer if you run it as root does it work ?
I tracked the bug back to sdl-mixer, or at least one aspect of it. I cannot/willnot paste the requested info because my firefox doesn't copy/paste with other apps (esp. vty's, where I work) and links grabs control of mouse (thus preventing copy/paste using gpm). Nor is such information relevant to pydance since it is python-only (not compiled) and doesn't directly use USE variables. Yes, it also comes up as root. It's not a permissions issue with /dev/sound/dsp *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 101615 ***
