Can't run supertuxkart

Hi guys.

When I try to run supertuxkart, two empty windows open and close instantaneously and the program won't start. When I tried running it in terminal, i got this error:

----------------------

$ supertuxkart

I did try rebooting after installing it but the same problem occurs. Can anyone help? Is any more information needed from me to help?

Have you updated everything, including video drivers via the smxi script?. If not this is how to run it.
1. Get out of X by pressing ctrl+alt+F1
2. log in as root then type smxi
3. it will ask a series of questions, Select continue-no-changes.
4. select to get your dist-upgrade
5 after that is done look for the video section
6 select the driver for your video card.
7 select return to main menu
8. next I would select exit.
9. at the prompt type reboot.

Hope I did not miss anything, I did this from my memory.
Edit: I did not notice that you still had the old kernel. __{{emoticon}}__
But you may want to do the update anyway afterwards, without updating the video drivers.

Before you do what Eino suggests, you need to upgrade the kernel.

See 12 Nov entry here:

Hi there,

I upgraded the kernel and I did the updates that Eino suggested. The same thing happens.

When I try opening supertuxkart in terminal I get the following:

$ supertuxkart

This seems to be the same error message.

What does inxi -G in a terminal show?

Here's what that command shows:

$ inxi -G

You are still using the old kernel, I think.
you probably need to update-grub, and remember to choose the newest one in the grub menu when you boot.
