 |
|
I cannot run the Battle for Wesnoth 1.10 by a normal user. I run the game so and it says me the error:
| Code: | $ /usr/games/bin/wesnoth
Battle for Wesnoth v1.10.0
Started on Sun May 6 19:34:15 2012
Data directory: /usr/share/games/wesnoth
User configuration directory: /home/user/.config/wesnoth
User data directory: /home/user/.local/share/wesnoth/1.10
Cache directory: /home/user/.cache/wesnoth
20120506 19:34:16 error filesystem: Trying to open file with empty name.
20120506 19:34:16 error config: Could not open file
could not initialize fonts |
But the game starts and works normally if I run it by the root.
The game settings are identical in the root and in the user.

I tried, but it didn't give any results. |

| What does dev-util/strace show to be different between the root and non-root cases? |

2141th (of 2232) string of the strace output contained:
| Code: | | stat64("/usr/share/games/wesnoth/data/hardwired/fonts.cfg", 0xbf8ed89c) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) |
I found that I haven't an access to the /usr/share/games/.
I set:
| Code: | | chmod -R 775 /usr/share/games/ |
And now I can play this game by the normal user.
My problem is solved. Thank. You helped me. |
