There are a few tidy-ups needed for frozen bubble under KDE(-3.4.x): 1) Having /usr/games/bin set in Work Path prevents the copying of music.raw and sound gets disabled. Leaving Work Path blank allows sound to work. 2) Having Lanuch Feedback enabled leaves a frozen-bubble process in the Taskbar with a busy cursor for some time after startup. Disabling Launch Feedback doesn't produce this effect. 3) The desktop file is named frozen-bubble-frozen-bubble.desktop. Is this a typo or is it really meant to be named that? Regards, Neil Darlow Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
1) need more info 2) KDE bug, not frozen-bubble 3) it is named correctly
(In reply to comment #1) > 1) need more info The desktop file contains the line: Path=/usr/games/bin which, in the menu editor, refers to the "Work path:" setting. Part of the sound startup of Frozen Bubble entails the conversion of the program's music that generates a file named music.raw. /usr/games/bin isn't writable for users so the sound startup fails and sound is disabled. Leaving Path blank allows creation of music.raw in the user's home directory and the sound is enabled in the game. > 2) KDE bug, not frozen-bubble Not sure this is a KDE bug per se. If Frozen Bubble doesn't support startup notification then the KDE launcher waits (30 seconds?) then clears the busy cursor and startup task. This is default behaviour and requires an entry of the form StartupNotify=false in the .desktop file to disable the behaviour. Try this for yourself and see if you prefer the behaviour without the extended busy indication. > 3) it is named correctly ok, I'll live with it then :-) Regards, Neil Darlow
ok, i see the Path= bug in the eclass, i'll fix that as for the startup notify cruft, i dont see how that's a frozen-bubble specific issue ... i imagine a *lot* more games dont support it than do
games no longer set Path to /usr/games/bin
