Kturtle segmentation fault on eeepc

[ugol]

Aaargh! I bought an eeepc for my kids, and kturtle crashes :(
eeepc has xandros installed, with kde, and all other kdeedu stuff
works pretty well. Needless to say, kturtle was one of the reasons i
bought the eeepc.

I installed with apt-get install kturtle.

Do i need to recompile it from scratch or anyone has had the same
experience?

solved: after updating some packages from asus, the problem
disappeared without doing anything special

how did it crash? on startup or after any specific action?

good it works, crazy to know kturtle is a selling point for a netbook.
thanks!

Idd crazy you bought an eeepc just for kturtle ;). Anyway in essence
it makes sence when I was 6 my dad
bought me a commodore 64 in which I programmed in basic. Much like
your kid is doing now on an eeepc with kturtle albeit being it 'logo'.
Maybe in 25 years he'll turn out just as crazy as me and write an even
better interpreter in his free time for fun ;).

Any info on what packages needed updating from asus would be great to
know since I own a eeepc myself and thinking about running kturtle on
it too ;). And yes I was so lame to install windows xp on it last year
which I needed for some cctv stuff (no linux drivers for the usb
easycap device yet... ).

yep, I bought it just to make my kids play with programming...

nope Walter, the situation is not easily replicable... I'd have to
kill my kids.
Anyway, I just updated some standard packages from asus repositories
(you can do that from the add/remove program in xandros) and it
doesn't crash anymore. (btw, it crashed directly on startup)

Thanks to you, cies. I am also preparing a logo course for the other
kids on their elementary school, so you'll have much more kturtle
fans in a few weeks!

Yesterday I finally removed Xandros from my eeePC, and installed KDE 4
with Debian on it. It was a very easy process, and it gives you a
machine with KDE 4.1, and a very recent version of KTurtle and all kde
edu and games to play with.

If you want to do so, follow the great instructions at the Debian eeePC
wiki:

http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC

I installed just the base system, with no desktop, to start clean, as I
was planning to put KDE 4 on it anyway.

After this is done, install the 4.1 packages for Lenny following the
instructions here:

http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde4.html

(Note: install kde4-minimal with aptitude, and then get kdeedu, or just
kturtle)
