Description Timothy Miller 2009-08-10 03:48:11 UTC

I installed xmoto, but I can't figure out how to run it.  Googling tells me that if I were to manually build it from source, I can run an executable called "xmoto".  But after running updatedb, slocate finds plenty of things with "xmoto" in the name, but no actual executable named "xmoto" exists.  There is "/usr/share/games/xmoto/xmoto.bin", but it's not executable.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Timothy Miller 2009-08-10 03:52:13 UTC

Never mind.  I had two problems.  One is that updatedb must not have finished, and secondly, I hadn't COMPLETELY logged out in order to get being added to the games group to take effect (quitting gnuscreen isn't enough).
