Downloading the missing kart allows to work around the problem but there is still a bug. Actually, after an upgrade (of Mageia), if you try to enter a level without downloading the karts you had already downloaded before the upgrade, the game freezes. CC:

lists.jjorge Hi Julien. I'm not sure this is properly a bug (at least on Mageia's side). Mageia 3 had SuperTuxKart 0.8 while Mageia 4 has version 0.8.1, and since a lot of changes happened between the two versions, one might expect that the addons downloaded for STK 0.8 are not compatible with STK 0.8.1 (or simply the former did not intall karts in the same place as the latter). I'll let Damien check if it's a bug that can be fixed or an upstream issue for which we can't do much. CC:

remi Actually I installed STK 0.8 using the mga3 package, installed two additional karts and then installed STK 0.8.1 (using the cauldron package, but it isn't that different from the mga4 one).
I could not reproduce the freeze, I got these warnings in the error log, but I could play using the Chinchila kart nevertheless:
> [warn ] EventHandler: Error while loading kart 'Chinchila':
> [warn ] Irrlicht: Could not open file of texture: chinch-fur.rgb
> [warn ] EventHandler: Error while loading kart 'Chinchila':
> [warn ] Irrlicht: Could not open file of texture: chinch-skin.rgb
Just to make sure, I uninstalled and reinstalled the Chinchila kart in STK 0.8.1, but the same errors are displayed (and those files are not in the ~/.local/share/supertuxkart/addons/karts/chinchila/ directory, so most likely the kart data is not up-to-date).
So yes actually there might be an issue with the upgrade from mga3 to mga4. I suppose you kept your home directory with the supertuxkart addons files. I'm not sure what went wrong then :-/
Yes I kept my home directory as usual. I see what you mean. STK 0.8.1 tried to use the addons installed with STK 0.8. Maybe the version number of the addon should be encoded in order to avoid attempting to load obsolete ones. It might be worth opening a topic on STK's forum on FreeGameDev to get some feedback for the STK devs on this issue: Did the addon system change between versions 0.8 and 0.8.1? Is the update supposed to work without any issue when addons are installed? and so on. My game box wad a MGA3 with all STK add-ons. It was upgraded to STK 0.8.1 and everything still works nicely...

Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't able to fix it before Mageia 4's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. If it's valid in several versions, select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release. Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you most [2].

rverschelde Closing as OLD as it was seemingly an upgrade issue between STK of Mageia 3 and Mageia 4; Mageia 5 now provides a different version, and if the issue can still be reproduced, it should probably be reported upstream directly (though I'd appreciate being notified about it too to potentially backport a fix).
