Gcompris and Ubuntu issues

[Timothée Giet]

Hi Michelle,

I couldn't reproduce this issue in a VM with a fresh ubuntu 22.04, so I 
hope the instructions provided by Johnny will help you.

By the way, note for reference on the topic: as Ubuntu 22.04 is using 
wayland by default, I was wondering if that could be related to this 
issue. I've noticed that by default gcompris (installed with apt) runs 
on XWayland. It can run on wayland directly by installing manually 
qtwayland5 and doing export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland . Then it also runs 
fine, just our custom-cursor is loaded only if gcompris is set 
fullscreen and after hovering a clickable item (before that it's a 
generic white cursor, and if it's in window mode it always keeps this 
white cursor).

Cheers,

Timothée
