I also noticed as a side note that the spec file is missing an important package to build the supertuxkart source code called libopengl-recorder which we don't seem to have in any media according to urpmq -y libopengl-recorder

I don't see anything weird in the .desktop file and it works fine on KDE, but I'll give it a try in Mate/alacarte to see if I reproduce the issue.

This is an optional dependency, which we disable in the spec:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/supertuxkart/current/SPECS/supertuxkart.spec?view=markup#l68

That's a library written by STK developers themselves, and it's not packaged in any distro that I know of. Might be worth packaging eventually to enable the feature, if there's interest in it.

I know it's far from finished, but it's a start so anyone working on SuperTuxKart can build it and then add it to the supertuxkart spec when it's needed.

The instructions are taken from https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/libraries/libopenglrecorder/

I still can't reproduce this issue, is it still valid?
Comment 8 Kristoffer Grundström 2019-10-03 11:59:23 CEST
Supertuxkart seems to be loading fine now from the Program menu entry in Cauldron. Closing as RESOLVED FIXED.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
