 |
|
Hello, today I installed gnuchess but my user was not able to start it ( it did not appear on it dmenu terminal ) I noticed that the group games on my system does not exist so I created a group
| Code: |
sudo groupadd games
|
and I added my user ( gentoo )
| Code: | | sudo gpasswd --add gentoo games |
obviously I rebooted , what do I do now ?
thanks  |

oscarandrea ...
before doing that I would have looked to see the ownership of the 'gunchess' executable was. If its installed as having the gid of 'games' then I would expect pkg_postinst() to create that group. I suspect the reason it doesn't show in dmenu is its location is not in your $PATH. Please provide the output of the following:
| Code: | $ echo $PATH
$ equery files gnuchess |
best ... khay |
