How to install Planet Penguin Racer (Tux Racer) : Ubuntu (6.06.1 / 6.10)
Many of you may be familiar with the old school Tux Racer game. This one is a classic and gets addicting! On Ubuntu it isn’t called Tux Racer however (I believe because it was commercialized and the previous, still GPL version, was repackaged.) Below is how to install Tux Racer aka Planet Penguin Racer on your Ubuntu machine.
- sudo aptitude install planetpenguin-racer planetpenguin-racer-data planetpenguin-racer-extras
You should now be able to find Planet Penguin Racer in Applications > Games > PlanetPenguin Racer

Sweet, thanks!
nice!!!
Thanks so much for the great tip
I installed it on Sidux with the same command (without sudo, just pasted the command into a root console) and played it.
Now I feel nauseous. I think I’m gonna throw up.
it didn’t work!!!!!!
Hey Nathan, replace the “aptitude” with “apt-get” and it’ll work. At least on 8.10 it does.
Great! It did work with aptitude
i’m running 8.10
It does not work. Problem with Graphics?
*** ppracer error: Couldn’t initialize video: Couldn’t find matching GLX visual (Resource temporarily unavailable)
Any hint highly apreciated.
