tuxtype is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

The game also crashes after a few levels (or at least the window does) you can still hear music and sound effects but I'm not chasing that bug until we get the right version. Checked ~/.xsession-errors but no mention of tuxtype.

We bought a netbook for my 10-year-old stepson and use ubuntu to get access to Edubuntu.

Tuxtyping is a critical part of upgrading his writing to skills to match his other assets to get into a gifted program at school.

A larger goal is to show him that open-source works.

Any help or direction appreciated.
