I installed 0.7.1 RC 1. I probably have set something wrong - this happens always when I want to play:

What should I do to fix it?

First we need some additional information. Do you have any additional controllers plugged in, besides the keyboard? Could you please post the file ~/.config/supertuxkart/input.xml so we can see what your key bindings are?

You can also check your keys by going to the supertuxkart settings.

I use only the keyboard, nothing else.

I deleted the dir (.config/supertuxkart), but the karts still move backwards. (When the race starts, I get penalized for some reason.)

BTW, why cannot I open files config.xml and highscore.xml in gedit? It says something about wrong encoding.

You use the 8 key and 0 key to drive? 8 is the accelerate. and 0 is the brake.
And you have another device on that list.

Your setup looks fine. But what happens if you disable the gamepad? Still the same problem?

You need to set Unicode (UTF-32) as encoding.

Now it works fine. Thanks!
