Latest Wesnoth realease for ubuntu 11lts?

[amethyst_igor]

I successfully installed from rhonda's development PPA on my Linux Mint Nadia KDE (4.10.2) system. Wesnoth is placed in my menu in Games | Tactics and Strategy. When I click on it, the intro screen loads, and when the status bar gets close to completion, the game simply disappears! There is no error message, and the system does not crash. I wonder whether it will not work with my system due to the new version of KDE (4.10.2).

I have downloaded three or four times from Rhonda's PPA, trying the raring, quantal, and the main flavors, each with the same result. Right now I am playing 1.10.4, which is available in Ubuntu's repository. I would be interested in 1.10.6 as well, but didn't find a repository until I read this thread and found out about Vincent's, but I wonder whether he is listed on the official web site.

I gave some thought to compiling from source, but the list of prerequisites seems daunting. I went the compile-from-source route with Ktorrent 4.3.1, and it took me about two hours. I am reasonably happy with 1.10.4 and have not exhausted all of the campaigns yet.

A new version of Ubuntu is coming out soon. Maybe it will have 1.10.6?

Wesnoth is a really good game, and what particularly stands out about it is the high quality music. I turned it off eventually, but it served as a good introduction into the game. I like many other aspects about Wesnoth, including that it is turn-based rather than realtime.

Hello amethyst_igor,
Wesnoth runs fine with Kde 4.10.2.

I never had a problem with an application (none KDE) which I could track down to KDE.

Please start Wesnoth from the "Konsole" and tell us its output.

Good suggestion--I'll try to remember that tip. By doing so I did get an error message:

I am running Linux kernel 3.8.5-030805-generic. The PPA currently installed in Synaptic Package Manager is http://ppa.launchpad.net/rhonda/wesnoth-devel/ubuntu, distribution raring, because I had tried quantal before with the same results.
