Re: Brain Party for Linux (and now for N900)
 
Help needed. Since yesterday the game freezes after test 5 before giving the scores. I uninstalled and reinstalled it but I noticed that the graph with the history of scores was not deleted. And still freezes. I would like instructions to make a CLEAN UNINSTALL. Thank you.

I expect uninstalling/reinstalling doesn't reset the games settings file. I expect that if you delete that file while Brain Party isn't running, that should put Brain Party back to its initial state.

Before you delete the file, it would interesting to see what it contains, as that might help diagnose why the game freezes for you. I suggest proceeding as follows:
  1. Run X Terminal
  2. Type "ls -al .brainparty" without quotes and press return
  3. Type "cat .brainparty" without quotes and press return
  4. Copy and paste the output of those two commands into this thread (scroll up, then use the arrow on the to go into highlight mode, drag select the text then choose Copy from the menu)
  5. To delete the file, type "rm .brainparty" without quotes and press return
  6. Close X Terminal

Well, I figured why it slows so much here. It has to do with starting new game.

When practicing, I can play for quite a while. However, if I start new game, then abort, then start, then abort a few times is starts digging into the ground.

In Options menu choose Clear scores. That helped me out from stuck after 5th test. Of course all statistics will be lost when scores are cleared. Already opened bonuses remain though.

@thp: I'm just wondering if you (or anyone else) has looked at the new 0.6 or 0.61 code at https://launchpad.net/brainparty ?

@hudzilla: Is launchpad your preferred place where upstream bugs/suggestions can be filed? That is, things that aren't specific to the Maemo port.

I tried to install after my PR 1.2 flash but keeps giving a missing dependency.
Does somebody have the same problem or it's just me?
cheers!

Try updating your application sources and then try installing again, as this problem should already been solved.

Sorry I'm such a noob, what you meant with Updating application sources?

Thanks!

OK, sorry, I meant Application catalogs (my phone is in Finnish, so I just translated it myself). In application manager just press Download and then at menu select Update catalog (the first option). Then install Brain Party normally.

Re: Brain Party for Linux (and now for N900)
 
As discussed in http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=53758 it seems Brain Party (and other apps) need to be uninstalled before an OTA PR 1.2 upgrade can take place. Does anyone know why that is, and is it possible to avoid this, maybe by pushing a Brain Party update?
