 Posted: Fri Sep 08, 2006 3:52 pm Post subject: problem with /etc/groups (games) [solved] |
 |
|
Since reinstalling gentoo on a different partition I've some problems, one of them is a groups problem:
I am not able to play games, regardless of bein in the games group?!
| Code: | ef@localhost ~ $ groups
wheel cron audio video games plugdev
|
ATM I have wesnoth and nethack installed, but they are not playable as user, but the binaries are beiing visible to root.
It's a shiny new 2006.1 installation, just copied some important files in /etc/ from my old root partition to my new one.
Any ideas?

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Gamers & Players.
Not about getting gentoo installed, so moved here.

Ok, i figured it out myself.
For some unknown reason the permissions of
/usr/games/bin
/usr/games/lib
/usr/games/share
were set to root:scanner.
so a quick
| Code: | | chown -R root:games /usr/games |
did the job perfectly. |
