Q

What Is 'Tux Paint?

A

Tux Paint is a free drawing program designed for young children (kids ages 3 and up). It has a simple, easy-to-use interface, fun sound effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who helps guide children as they use the program. It provides a blank canvas and a variety of drawing tools to help your child be creative.

Q

How to Install Tux Paint on Linux mint?

A

Execute the following command:
# apt-get install tuxpaint

Q

How can I rectify the Tux Paint won't switch to my language?

A

Linux and Unix users: Make sure the locale is available
Make sure the locale you want is available. Check your "/etc/locale.gen" file. See the OPTIONS documentation for the locales Tux Paint uses (especially when using the "--lang" option).

Q

IsTux Paint always saves a new picture?

A

The "never save over" option is enabled. (This disables the prompt that would appear when you click 'Save.')
If you're running Tux Paint from a command-line, make sure you're not giving it a "--saveovernew" option.

Q

Is sound disabled in Tux Paint?

A

If sound seems to work otherwise (and you're sure no other program is "blocking" the sound device), then Tux Paint may be running with a "no sound" option.
Make sure you're not running Tux Paint with the "--nosound" option as a command-line argument. (See the OPTIONS documentation for details.)
If it's not, then check the configuration file ("/etc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint.conf" and "~/.tuxpaintrc" under Linux and Unix, and "tuxpaint.cfg" under Windows) for a line reading: "nosound=yes".
Either remove that line, or simply run Tux Paint with the command-line argument: "--sound", which will override the configuration file's setting.
Alternatively, you can use Tux Paint Config. to change the configuration file. Make sure "Enable Sound Effects" (under "Video & Sound") is checked, then click "Apply".
