Hello. I have installed Tuxtype and Klavaro in my 4.0 system. Both programs are visible in the menus but they do not start when I click them. Does anybody know of any bugs in these two programs? If not, could anybody guide me to find out what might be wrong and correct the problem? Thank you.

This is how to troubleshoot a program that doesn't start with the shortcut.
Open terminal.
Grep the shortcut to determine the executable command.
type:
grep -i Exec= /usr/share/applications/tuxtype.desktop
hit Enter
Exec=tuxtype
type:
tuxtype
hit Enter
Error - CONF_PREFIX = '/etc/tuxtype' not found!
Error - SetupPaths() failed, exiting program.
Make missing config directory:
# mkdir /etc/tuxtype
type:
tuxtype
hit Enter
tuxtype runs but sound is broken on my computer with errors:
Error - User Settings Path = '/root/.tuxtype' not found, I will attempt to create it.
load_settings_filename(): no theme-specific settings found: /root/.tuxtype/settings.txt
Mix_Init: Failed to init required ogg and mod support!
Mix_Init: Mixer not built with MP3 support

Exec=klavaro
tux@slitaz:~$ klavaro

Mojo, thank you very much for your detailed process to solve the starting issue. I did create the subdirectory for tuxtype and then started without problems. With Klavaro, I de-installed the version I had, removed the 2 versions I had in the tazpck subdirectory, and then re install the version from the tazpck repository with tazpanel. Solved! It works. Now, it does not appear in the "Education" list, but in the Utility. I really appreciate your help.
