Other information:
1. Crashes on launch from Applications Menu
2. Crashes on launch from Terminal window
3. Does NOT crash when run from Root Terminal window
4. Unable to get Stack trace by installing dbg package or using gdb command. Could be lack of linux knowledge on my part.

Comment 1 Paul 2008-06-07 09:32:31 UTC

Is anyone else whose sudoku is crashing able to run it from the root terminal window?

Comment 2 J. Ali Harlow 2008-07-03 19:16:29 UTC

You don't have to go that far. Just running it as follows will work:

$ HOME=/tmp gnome-sudoku

It seems there is something in the user's home directory that it doesn't like.

Comment 3 Jason Clinton 2008-07-03 19:29:24 UTC

Let us know if you identify the file causing this issue.
