Apparently this has been fixed in the CVS for gnome-games: http://cia.navi.cx/stats/author/callum
You have to edit the file /usr/share/sol-games/sol.scm (around line 481) from this: (while (card-guardian)) to this: (while (card-guardian) #t) Apparently, the card-guardian loop needs "something to chew on", else it crashes. So far the fix is working for me, and I'm happy to get my solitaire games back. :) -- Aisleriot solitare crashes when choosing new game from Select Game https://launchpad.net/bugs/50173 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
