Description Renato Dali 2015-08-06 22:42:45 CEST
Connectagram is a fine puzzle where someone unscrambles letters to find words.

After a word is found, it's color changes to green and one can click on it to fetch a definition -- from "Wiktionary", it is said.

That part (getting the definition) does not work; instead a message "no definition found" is displayed.

But it works in two other PCs with Mageia 4.

Any idea?

It's the same wi-fi router, nameservers obtained thru DHCP (the same of another machine on which definitions work), internet is working great in Firefox and Konqueror, routes are the same, I can ping external servers etc.

Maybe it's some silly mistake, but I can't think of anything right now... as it's just a game I've rated it as "severity: minor". The game is playable, because it's possible to know if the word is right or not. It's just the definitions which cannot be obtained.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the report. Assigning it to Connectagram's maintainer.

Comment 2 Renato Dali 2016-10-15 17:18:55 CEST
Bug still present on Mageia 6 sta 1. Is there a MGA6TOO tag? Or should we change the platform to Cauldron (after all it will eventually replace M5 and fixing bugs in older releases is not very useful).

Also, it occurred to me that the dictionary site could be preventing the access as unauthorized (though I don't believe to be the case).

BTW, just for reference, an earlier version of the game (1.0.1) works on Mint 17.3. The version in Mageia 6 is 1.2.3.
Comment 3 Rémi Verschelde 2016-10-15 17:21:35 CEST
I'll have a look as the maintainer seems MIA..

I reported the bug upstream, let's see what comes.

Comment 6 Renato Dali 2016-10-15 23:09:18 CEST
I'm reducing the priority of this bug to low as this is time to think about greater challenges.

Mageia is an excellent distribution that does more than the other ones. For instance, Crack Attack is packaged with sound, which does not happen in other distributions -- I think they leave it to the user as an exercise... :-)

Thanks.

Priority: Normal => Low

Hello everyone, sorry for the delay.
Renato, I would like to ask if that machine that presents the error, you have openssl installed.

Comment 8 Renato Dali 2016-10-16 23:46:44 CEST
@ Cesar:

No problem, I really think this bug is very secondary. As it happens, I like word games... so... thanks for your attention.

I know you guys have more pressing issues -- because I create them :-D (insert evil laughter here).

I'm testing the game on a newly installed Mga6sta1 and OpenSSL was 1.02h... updated to 1.02j.

Definitions cannot be retrieved with both.

Again, thanks.
Comment 9 Cesar Vargas 2016-10-16 23:52:32 CEST
Hi, problem solved with the new version 1.2.4 
hopefully send to the BS so that you can test
Comment 10 Renato Dali 2016-10-17 00:14:10 CEST
Great news!

If by BS you mean some kind of repo.

If it's BS in the Windows sense, I already got it at work! :-P

Thank you Cesar!
Comment 11 Cesar Vargas 2016-10-17 05:44:32 CEST
I mean BS==Build System :-P
Comment 12 Rémi Verschelde 2016-10-17 07:24:57 CEST
Fixed on cauldron. Could you prepare an update for Mageia 5?

@ Samuel: No upstream bug report sadly, they don't have a bug tracker...

But that was the email exchange:

I have uploaded a updated package for Mageia 5.
It's a feature and bugfix release and switches to using Qt 5 now instead of Qt 4.

Don't forget to assign to QA when you push an update candidate ;)

I forgot sorry, will not happen again. :-(
Comment 16 Renato Dali 2016-10-18 04:09:14 CEST
I find this amazing -- the workings of Free Software, I mean.

Thanks, everyone.
Comment 17 Renato Dali 2016-10-19 03:46:58 CEST
Tested on two machines (both with i586): 1.2.4 works well.

Congratulations. To be honest, I was expecting Qt5 to fail on the older non-SSE2 computer. Maybe no complicated code was run... :-)

After the bureaucratic steps are solved, I think this bug can be closed.

Thanks, again!
