I have installed kivy in virtual environment following instructions from https://kivy.org/docs/installation/installation-linux.html. , section Dependencies with SDL2. I understood SDL2 replaces pygame now considered a legacy provider. Unfortunately example touchtracer crashed with the following message
[CRITICAL] [Window ] Unable to find any valuable Window provider at all!
...
[CRITICAL] [App ] Unable to get a Window, abort.
After pygame installation kivy works fine. I understand SDL2 is supposed to replace pygame, if not the installation guide is misleading
