I'm having issues playing the only game (so far) that I've installed outside of fortune-mod (which I really don't consider a game, but it is amusing). It installed in /usr/games/bin/ and while I can execute it as root, I have to, from the prompt, type
Code: | /usr/games/bin/lightyears |
to get it to launch. Just typing
will not launch it. As a user, in the games group, I can't even browse to /usr/games/bin.
WindowMaker running from a user-launched xinit session (hey, give me a break, it's been /years/ since I've used Gentoo and had to configure this stuff, I'm working on things a little at a time). from a tty console. Would this be the cause? If so I have no issue quitting and starting it back up in a more proper manner. I have xdm installed though not configured (yet). _________________ ICQ: 18115568 Yahoo: the_spoon.geo |

when did you add your user to the games group?
ie did you just add him? since you need to logoff&login for group policies to be applied _________________

That seemed to be the issue. I thought I had done that already. Thanks. _________________ ICQ: 18115568 Yahoo: the_spoon.geo |
