Comparing to other games in there, permissions are almost identical, but only root can run frozen-bubble. Found if chmod 755 on all /usr/share/games/frozen-bubble files/folders can play the game as user. Tried to isolate it down further, by just going into the folders and nogo. Have to pretty much 'chmod -R 755 /usr/share/games/frozen-bubble' for it to work for user. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Frozen-bubble was already install, something happened. 2. emerge -C frozen-bubble and remerged and same error. 3.

What's the output of the command "gropus"
or even the command "groups"
forgot to mark this...reopen with the info. Thanks.
I think I said that 'user is in the games group'. Why was this marked "resolved needinfo'?? The info was given in the post, in the second line: User is in games group. Output of entire group for user is totally useless in this case, but here it is for your viewing: bin daemon sys adm tty disk lp mem kmem wheel floppy mail uucp man cron console audio cdrom ftp sshd at tape video gdm xfs games mysql postgres cdrw apache usb users cdrecording foldingathome portage slocate speech clamav scanner
Also, this isn't the only system have seen this on, have found it on two systems so far.
From a terminal, do this: ( groups ; stat /usr/share/games/frozen-bubble/gfx ; strings /usr/share/games/frozen-bubble/gfx/banane.png ; frozen-bubble ) &> /tmp/output attach the output in /tmp/output as a text/plain please.
are you telling me your one user is in all of these groups ? bin daemon sys adm tty disk lp mem kmem wheel floppy mail uucp man cron console audio cdrom ftp sshd at tape video gdm xfs games mysql postgres cdrw apache usb users cdrecording foldingathome portage slocate speech clamav scanner that's screwed up
Created attachment 40830 [details] This is from default install, where game doesn't work.
Created attachment 40831 [details] This is with permissions 755 and game works.
I'm the only user on the system. Haven't seen a clear explaination of what groups a system like mine should have vs shouldn't. Plus some don't even work correctly anyway, like for example 'portage', never have been able to just: emerge -s appname . Know that can't emerge with it as user, but can't do anything with it at all. Another is 'foldingathome' still can only check it as root. Sure some of it is overkill, but if you could point me to a doc that explains fully what should and should have, then will take a look. Anyway, sorry Mr. Bones. You probably didn't see my original post where said was in 'games' group or wanted more info and reacted incorrectly. Again, sorry. Here is the result of what you wanted from the command above Spanky. I already chmod to 755 on it so ran it first to see and game started. Just to clean it up, did an emerge -C frozen-bubble and remerged it to run the command again. Game didn't start, but results almost identical. permissions 755 --> file attached is: output_works.txt permissions 750 (default emerge) --> file attached is: output_fails.txt Again, Spanky if you could point me somewhere that would explain the groups fully would appreciate it. Or maybe I should start experimenting. Hopefully, the attachment leads somewhere. Let me know if need more info. Installed my Dad's system and frozen-bubble works on there, but on this and another system it doesn't.
It's clear that there are is some odd permission issue on your systems. What's the output of these commands: 1. perl -e 'print "$< $>\n"' 2. ls -Ll `which perl` 3. which frozen-bubble Also, please do emerge -evp frozen-bubble &> /tmp/output and attach /tmp/output as text/plain.
Weird permissions on system?! Figured as much, thought it might be something I did, but on the other system game doesn't work on I didn't install system. So surely has to happen to others also. Thought it might be my /etc/profile umask cause it caused a problem with kde *.desktops, 'my' default is 077, but tried gentoo default of 022 and still wouldn't work. But it still might have done something somewhere else. Here are the results: bash-2.05b$ perl -e 'print "$< $>\n"' 1001 1001 bash-2.05b$ ls -Ll `which perl` -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 991500 Sep 27 18:31 /usr/bin/perl bash-2.05b$ which frozen-bubble /usr/games/bin/frozen-bubble
Created attachment 40854 [details] results from 'emerge -evp frozen-bubble &> /tmp/output'
in the 'emerge -evp frozen-bubble &> /tmp/output' the portage part is weird. If reading it correct it wants to update and says New to a portage already installed. Part of result from above: [ebuild N ] sys-apps/portage-2.0.50-r11 -build -debug -(selinux) 0 kB *** Please update portage to the above version before proceeding. Failure to do so may result in failed or improper merges. A simple 'emerge -u portage' is sufficient. But already have it and emerge -p portage will just be a rebuild: bash-2.05b# emerge -s portage * sys-apps/portage Latest version available: 2.0.50-r11 Latest version installed: 2.0.50-r11
Found something weird on this. Tried all the frozen-bubble progs in /usr/games/bin . Can run this one /usr/games/bin/frozen-bubble-editor as user. Well frozen-bubble -server works also, but don't think it counts.
Got some more weird information on problem. Not what is causing it, but can make the game run with no problems so far if comment out offending line in code. Haven't found a problem with running it yet if do so.

Found the problem isn't the game. Looks like it might be perl. Did some test and if user is in more than 32 groups (old ngroups_max was 32, as of at least kernel 2.6.4 it has been changed to 65k) than perl will report that the user is just in 'users' group only. Before you say something Spanky, they must have changed it for a reason, so apparently there is a need. If change to <=32 groups then reports correctly. Anyway, groups command still reports all the groups user in and so does posix. From test have ran it appear to be perl still has it set to 32 max and isn't honoring the ngroups_max = 65k. So when the game checks if files are readable they are not readable to the user cause it sees them as only in the 'users' group and not 'games'. So this bug is closed cause it isn't about the game anymore. Going to do some more research, then might open a new bug if think might be warranted. Was going to close the bug myself, but not sure if want it fixed or better: invalid.
Interesting. Since it's not a bug with frozen-bubble I'll go ahead and close as invalid.
