Describe the problem. What did you expect? What do you see? When I try to run the program I receive this message Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault

List the steps to recreate the problem. 1. Run the game in a kubuntu lucid with all required packages installed

What version are you using? Include the FoFiX version, the Python version, your operating system, and whether it is SVN (alpha), beta, RC, or final release. FoFix: 3.121 Python: 2.6.5 OS: Kubuntu 10.04

Try disabling shaders. It's possible that your driver or card are too old or unsupported.

I don't think that a GF8600 GT is old enough...

I have the same issue. From what I could gather the problem is that something changed between python-pyvorbis between 1.4 and 1.5 that both 3.121 and up-to-date git 4.0 doesn't like. I was able to work around it by keeping python-pyvorbis at 1.4 but that probably won't be an option forever. Another possibility is to find a 1.4 build (from an older generation repo, for example) and extracting pyvorbis.deb:/usr/lib/pyshared/python2.6 to /path/to/your/fofix/install/pyvorbis and start FoFiX with PYTHONPATH=/path/to/your/fofix/install/pyvorbis python2.6 /path/to/your/fofix/install/src/FoFiX.py

If I knew Python I'd attempt to debug it, but I can't, so the best I can do is offer this possible work-around to anyone who stumbles upon this in the future if it remains unfixed.
