Description Ákos Maróy 2004-03-14 06:43:54 UTC
when starting vsinstall first after emerging vegastrike, it fails, because it looks for vegastrike files in /usr/local/share/vegastrike , but emerge put this at /usr/share/games/vegastrike

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge vegastrike
2. start vsinstall
3.

Actual Results:  
vsinstall complains that it cannot find files under /usr/local/share/vegastrike

Expected Results:  
vsinstall should run fine

a workaround is to have a symlink from /usr/local/share/vegastrike to
/usr/share/games/vegastrike , but it would be even better if emerge took care of
the proper directory references.

You have stale files from a previous install.  You need to clean out your
home directory.
Comment 2 Ákos Maróy 2004-03-14 09:50:33 UTC
what would those be? I didn't have vegastrike installed before, this is the first time I have it on my machine. I only did:

emerge vegastrike

as root, than as a regular user, what happens is::

$ vsinstall
cat: save.4.x.txt: No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/usr/local/share/vegastrike/data/setup.config': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/usr/local/share/vegastrike/data/.vegastrike/*.m3u': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/usr/local/share/vegastrike/data/vegastrike.config': No such file or directory
Unable to read from setup.config
If you wish to have your own music edit ~/.vegastrike/*.m3u  Each playlist represents a place or situation in Vega Strike


what would be the stale files? I only found ~/.vegastrike/ , which I can remove, but the same happens:

$ rm -rf .vegastrike/
$ vsinstall
cat: save.4.x.txt: No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/usr/local/share/vegastrike/data/setup.config': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/usr/local/share/vegastrike/data/.vegastrike/*.m3u': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/usr/local/share/vegastrike/data/vegastrike.config': No such file or directory
Unable to read from setup.config
If you wish to have your own music edit ~/.vegastrike/*.m3u  Each playlist represents a place or situation in Vega Strike


what other files should I clean?

Oh, right, that gets me everytime.  Don't run vinstall.  Also, be sure
to search bugzilla for duplicate bugs before filing a new bug.  Thanks.

oh, OK, I simly entered vegastrike into the search field, and the related bug did not come up:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&field0-0-0=product&type0-0-0=substring&value0-0-0=vegastrike&field0-0-1=component&type0-0-1=substring&value0-0-1=vegastrike&field0-0-2=short_desc&type0-0-2=substring&value0-0-2=vegastrike&field0-0-3=status_whiteboard&type0-0-3=substring&value0-0-3=vegastrike

OTOH, there is a need to run vsinstall, because that's where I can set the resoltion for the game. when trying to select options from vslauncher, I get the following error:

$ vslauncher
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x3d4)!

and I can't set any options (vslauncher also refuses to accept any input afterwards...)
