[Tux4kids-tuxtype-dev] Tux4kids-tuxtype-dev Digest, Vol 15, Issue 6

Sun Feb 8 04:38:47 UTC 2009

hi all,
I have been using tuxtype on my desktop for the last few weeks, but when I
tried running it on my laptop with debian OS, I got the following error
message:-

debian:~/bristow/tuxtype# tuxtype
SetupPaths(): checking for '/usr/local/share/tuxtype' as default data path
path '/usr/local/share/tuxtype' found, copy to settings.default_data_path
load_settings_filename(): no theme-specific settings
found/root/.tuxtype/settings.txt
Couldn't initialize SDL: No available video device

Somebody please help me out, as I cannot find out what is the problem.
Waiting for your replies.

Bristow.
