Hi!
After following the build instructions from http://supertuxkart.sourceforge.net/Build_STK_on_Linux I could successfully compile STK on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a Lenovo Thinkpad T430 from 2012.
When trying to play STK, some parts of the screen and some textures are just white. Here the textures of Beastie are white instead of red and some textrue's of the kart are white.
When playing ,the scene at the player's kart position is white.
Do you have any clue what went wrong?
