2009-03-27 15:21:06 Robert Ancell gnome-games: statusexplanation James, you're welcome to submit a patch for it if you think isn't too difficult to do, thanks you. A solution to this may involve adding new code to the upstream project but will require a significant amount of Ubuntu specific code. I recommend fixing this in Ubuntu and moving any common code upstream when a patch is developed.

2009-04-13 12:30:44 Fabián Rodríguez description Binary package hint: gnome-games When trying to enable the 3d mode in glchess, a message dialog appears informing us that we need to install some packages first, before we can enable the 3d mode. The problem: The message only has a general description of the packages that we need to install. How it should be: It should specify the exact names of those packages so that people can go and install them right away. Even better: It should present us with a dialog asking if we want to install the packages required by glchess in order to enable the 3d mode. If the user agrees, those packages should be installed automatically in his system (similar to the way totem installs codec packages). The packages that are needed to use 3d mode are the following: python-gtkglext1 python-opengl Using glchess 2.20.0.1 on Ubuntu 7.10 (386) Binary package hint: gnome-games When trying to enable the 3d mode in glchess, a message dialog appears with the following message: "Unable to enable 3D mode You are unable to play in 3D mode due to the following problems: No Python OpenGL support No Python GTKGLExt support Please contact your system administrator to resolve these problems, until then you will be able to play chess in 2D mode."
