Cannot launch klavaro. Terminal gives Segmentation fault

[George A]

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

My version of Ubuntu is 9.04. I just installed Klavaro Touch Typing Tutor (ver 1.1.8-1) using Synaptic Package Mgr, and it installed itself in Application>Education. However, klavaro will not launch when clicked. And when I used Terminal to execute klavaro , I get the message " Segmentation fault" . I would be obliged for help to this fix bug. many thanks, George A

hello George, if klavaro crashed, then that's a klavaro bug, why did you opened this against gnome-terminal? reassigning.

Good day Pedro. I had no intention of contacting you or your department
regarding Klavaro. I am experiencing a number of bugs with my installation
of Ubuntu 9.04 - these include Rhythmbox , and Klavaro . It has become clear
to me your communications are not intended for beginners ( which is what I
am in Ubuntu). Your prior note to me used tech language, which I couldn't
understand, and your most recent note is the same ( it doesn't tell me, in a
language that I can understand, where I would find the required info /
instructions / algorithm to correct the problem) . It seems that I'll have
to obtain help to resolve the bugs from some other sorce.

Regards, George A

also i found solution but its manualy done in 10seconds. from bug #439753
try if it works. if yes maybe thats the same dublicate bug.
also as newcommer ill give u 3 ways to make solution for this bug so ull learn something also :)
like a joe
A.) create in home folder .klavaro and in there preferences.ini
folder with .instart are hidden so to see created file use ctrl+h to see/hide hiden files

or like hacker :)

B.)esyr to make folder and file is in terminal copy this
Code:

mkdir ~/.klavaro & touch ~/.klavaro/preferences.ini

C.)more esyrif u know command then just open alt+f2 and copy there the same. with alt+f2 it will execute without showing terminal but u can check option to show in terminal command executing but terminal will close when command is finished thats the only difference
