Description bli 2012-03-19 23:15:28 EDT 
It appears to have installed cleanly, but when I try to launch it, I get a segmentation fault. Nothing else appears on the screen but the text below.  64 bit is the correct version, and running the 32 bit binary manually has the same results. Launching from the gnome menu has no result. Is there any extra information that I can provide to help fix this?

bli@zeugma:~/systemfiles/avadon$ ./Avadon
Avadon: Installed in '.'.
Avadon: Using amd64 version.
Segmentation fault
Comment 1 Dragon Dave 2012-03-22 11:11:45 EDT 
My recommendation for further information would be to run

  strace ./Avadon 2> stacktrace

and post the resulting 'stacktrace' file.

I've had a very similar problem but am not running on a 64-bit system; here's my stacktrace.

In addition to the strace output, here's the stack trace from the segfault.

Same here installs fine, but can't launch at all. And gdb output is about the same as above. Hope it will be fixed soon.

Likely your monitor doesn't support the default resolution. We'll fix this better for the next release, but in the meantime, go edit $HOME/.local/share/Avadon/Avadon.ini and chose a resolution that works (or run it in windowed mode).
