Hi VF, The reason building from source doesn't fix this issue (at present) is because the issue is in Debian Ubuntu systems only, and the workaround is a Debian Ubuntu specific fix. First of all, I'm going to recommend downloading an installing the version you couldn't find (0.90+20120127-3). Installing these packages should create the necessary gnubg.desktop file so that when launched from a gnome3/unity menu it should work properly. You must download gnubg and gnubg-data from these locations:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/103709007/gnubg_0.90%2B20120127-3_amd64.deb http://launchpadlibrarian.net/103697408/gnubg-data_0.90%2B20120127-3_all.deb After downloading you can install them from the command line using: sudo dpkg -i gnubg-data_0.90+20120127-3_all.deb gnubg_0.90+20120127-3_amd64.deb Once these are installed you should be able to launch GNUBG through the GUI using the menus/icons, and there should now be a /usr/share/applications/gnubg.desktop that contains Exec=env LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 gnubg -w . If you are rolling your own build from source you must alter how you launch GNUBG. For example if you rolled your own build from source, you could launch from the source directory using: LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 ./gnubg or if you installed GNUBG from source (and did a 'make install' to the default /usr/local) directory you can launch GNUBG like this: LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 /usr/local/bin/gnubg Let me know how you make out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/932455 Title: GNUBG (backgammon) - Desktop stops responding to mouse clicks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnubg/+bug/932455/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
