The latest version of gcompris has a bug. I used to be able to use it, but since I upgraded to ubuntu 20.04 it stopped working, here is what it does:
lea@lea:~$ uname -a

Could anyone look into it ? I would gladly help and provide as much information as required ?

EDIT:
I have 2 versions installed:
- Version 1.1 from snap, command line gcompris
- Version 0.97 from apt-get, command line gcompris-qt
running gcompris --software-renderer DOES WORK
running gcompris --opengl-renderer DOES NOT WORK
running gcompris-qt --software-renderer DOES NOT WORK
running gcompris-qt --opengl-renderer DOES NOT WORK
Conclusions:
- I probably have a driver problem...
- Version 0.97 does not work even in software graphic mode.... please update software depot to 1.1 !
