Both Freecell and Solitaire are part of the Aisleriot package of games which are really for Gnome. However, I have been successfully running them for years under KDE[#] - until 12.1 :-( . I am not interested in Solitaire but I enjoy playing Freecell.

Does anybody know, please, why Freecell, for one, will not run in 12.1 even though it installs successfully and without any dependency problems?

Perhaps there is a version of Freecell for KDE (and NOT the one in kpat, thanks, which I consider to be primitive) which is not part of Aisleriot package? Anybody know?

Hi I have a maintenance update in for this, have you installed guile (a missing requires)?

From the command line: sol --freecell or sol --name=freecell works for me on i586.

Hi Malcolm, No I didn't know that quile was required and didn't have it installed. I have now installed it and...... I get an error message whenever I try to move a card, "A Scheme exception occurred. Please report bug to the developers" and when I click on Report nothing happens :-( . But now that you have advised that you have an update in the pipeline I now live in hope and anticipation :-) . When do you think the "fix" will become reality?

Hi Mine was only for the guile requires. I need to look at the freecell one... (I usually just play yukon ;) ).

I usually install pysol which has many different versions of the popular card games. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I usually install pysol which has many different versions of the popular card games.

After a new install and all the necessary repos have been added, the first game which gets downloaded here is pysol :-) . However, I don't like the pysol version (nor the kpat version) because one needs a magnifying glass to see the cards. I do play a couple of pysol games when I am watching TV because they fit very nicely between the TV image and the edge of the (widescreen) monitor :-) . I use aisleriot Freecell when I want a serious game of Freecell :-D .

Hi Malcolm,

Earlier today I noted that there was a patch to aisleriot which was put thru when I ran 'zypper patch'; however this patch did not fix the problem with freecell: while freecell actually starts it comes up with an error message asking if "I" want to report the problem but then it does nothing when I respond with an Yes, Report :-) .

Hi I've added the freecell patch ( See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=730053 ) and requested the update. It needs to go to test first and then should appear in the update channel. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.37.6-0.9-desktop up 17:23, 4 users, load average: 0.08, 0.12, 0.63 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - Driver Version: 290.10 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
