Bug Description
Slingshot will not launch.
When I try to lauch with the GUI, nothing happen. But when I try to lauch via terminal there's an error message.
Below, I give details on what's happening.
I've install slingshot with "apt-get install slingshot" on a fresh installed and updated system (Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, but same thing happened on Ubuntu 14.04).
When I try to lauch slingshot using terminal, I receive the following error:
fabio@ThinkPad-T60 ~ $ slingshot
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/games/
class Game:
File "/usr/games/
Settings.font = pygame.
IOError: unable to read font filename
I've looked into the above-mentioned file (/usr/games/
I've looked into the Internet, but could not find a solution to this problem.
I've try to change the FreeSansBold.ttf to FreeSans.ttf (which apparently is installed in my system, because I can see/use it whithin libreoffice-
Hope this help track down the problem.
I can provide further info if needed.
