Hello, my daughter used to play magicor but now it's impossible to move the penguin more than steps. I removed the game and re installed it . Nothing changed.

What has changed since the last time it worked? (FYI I just installed and tested it real quick and it works fine for me.) If you create a new user and log in with the new account do you still experience the problem?

Were you using an older version of MX on the machine the last time the game worked?
I noticed your steam repos are stated to be for Ubuntu's Precise Pangolin release. That was the 12.04 LTS release, which is way old. I have doubts about the compatibility with MX19, and that's before considering that MX is Debian-based, not Ubuntu.

I just tried in in MX-19 and neither the up nor down keys work in the game, although they do in the options menu.

In fact, I don't know why I 've got this repository..I 'm going to remove it

Jay, if you start Egypt Level 2, can you go down through the pipes?

Not here.
It works properly on MX-15 & MX-17. The MX-17 deb doesn't work any better on MX-19
This game hasn"t been updated in a decade. I suspect something changed in python or sdl

I have no idea what that means. I just verified that I'm able to make the penguin move more than three steps without any lock-ups or crashes.

I say your right on that one.
Both the Magicor and Magicor Data files are needed to play. Additional requirements are:
python 2.4,
http://www.python.org
pygame 1.7.1,
http://www.pygame.org/
libsdl 1.2 (required by pygame),
http://www.libsdl.org/
SDL_mixer,
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/
SDL_image,
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/
GNU make (or equivalent, optional for proper installation; not needed to run the game)
rsync (optional for making dist target; not needed to run the game)
Additional requirements for the editor:
GTK 2.0
http://www.gtk.org
libglade2
http://www.jamesh.id.au/software/libglade/
PyGTK
http://www.pygtk.org
https://packages.debian.org/unstable/games/magicor
https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/magicor/filelist
Since this game base on a old NES game call Solomon's Key. I would just pickup a NES Emulator and play the original game instead this old unmaintained Linux version.

I tracked it down to python-pygame. Installing the stretch version in MX-19 allows magicor to work.
Someone who actually programs with python-pygame could probably patch magicor pretty easily. But that's not me...

Isn't the free space of the SSD to small, 98.00% used so just 2% left fee?
How does the system react on that? Like she now experiences?
And technically spoken: a SSD with so little free space will undergo an extreme high rate of writing on a very limited amount of disk sectors, which is known for SSD's to be very bad and may lead to problems.
The advice is often to have at least 20% free space left on a SSD for proper and safe working so only 2% ..what may happen even apart from getting worn by the high rate of writing on a very limited amount of disk sectors?
So free up as much as possible (~20%) of space or if not possible... take a laregr disk?

Sure it means only 7.2% is used

You're reading it wrong. That's caught me before too. Read it like this
Partition:
ID-1: /
raw size: 117.21 GiB
size: 114.87 GiB (98.00%)
used: 8.31 GiB (7.2%)
fs: ext4
dev: /dev/sda1
Raw size is unformatted, size is formatted.
