Could not init SDL_VIDEO: No available video device

[Kaze]

just wondering what kind of video card do you have and did you install any drivers for it (or are you using what ubuntu installed when you set the system up)

I have a NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT, and I'm using NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 177) [Recommended]
Love did work before. It just won't now.

just wondering

im a ubuntu / nvidia user too

but the key word there is user, not guru

I tried running a random game that uses SDL, same error. Guess I'll ask the Ubuntu forums now.

probally use apt-get remove to uninstall SDL and apt-get install to re install it

most of the time, for me at least, it works with most other programs

I don't know, you might try to reinstall SDL as osgeld said, (however in synaptic there it is possible to do a re-install, and it is probably called libSDL).
The setup itself isn't wrong in anyway, I'm using the 8500GT as well (although I'm using the newest drivers, shouldn't make any difference).

I've tried to reinstall it.

Fixed: Built SDL myself.
