Description of problem: GNU Backgammon (gnubg) seems to start but after few seconds the icon disappear and nothing happens. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.05.000 (x86_64) How reproducible: double click on start menu. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
What's the output if you start gnubg from a terminal?

No output, simply the terminal seems to freeze. I try with "ps" command to see live processes but I didn't find "gnubg".
Hi, just for information: under Mageia 5 (x_64) it was all ok.
Looks like some dependency changed and it ends up in a loop at startup. The new point release works, so I'll push that into testing.
Status: NEW => ASSIGNED
gnubg-1.05.002-1.mga6 is available in mga6 core/updates_testing. Suggested announcement: gnubg was upgraded to fix a hang at program startup. Shorter is better, non?

Testing M6/64 BEFORE update: gnubg-1.05.000-3.mga6 Starting the program from the menu went nowhere; but left a process: $ ps -ax | grep gnubg 13346 ? R 0:19 gnubg --window-system-only to kill. From the command line, it hung. $ gnubg ^C $ ps -ax | grep gnubg [no residual process] AFTER update: gnubg-1.05.002-1.mga6 From the menu, the program starts fine. Same from the console. Good update. @Dan I have invented an advisory from comment 5 and the update RPM link; please in the future list the SRPM(s) along with the package name(s).
