You obviously didn't read the emerge output all these games were prnting into the console after emerge of those packages were finished: Remember, in order to play games, you have to be in the games group. That's also the reason none of these games appear in your menu. Type gpasswd -a yourusername games and relogin with your user for being able to play these games. (In reply to comment #1) > Type > > gpasswd -a yourusername games > This must be done as root of course. Again, ss I put in the bug report above: leviathon bin # groups george wheel audio cdrom video usb users portage games It's just before where I list the contents of /usr/games/bin (In reply to comment #3) > Again, ss I put in the bug report above: > > leviathon bin # groups george > wheel audio cdrom video usb users portage games > > It's just before where I list the contents of /usr/games/bin > Sorry, didn't see that in the first place. When you simply run id as user in an open shell in your gnome session, does group games appear in the list of groups? It does: george@leviathon ~ $ id uid=1000(george) gid=1000(george) groups=35(games),10(wheel),18(audio),19(cdrom),27(video),85(usb),100(users),250(portage),1000(george) It's really weird this, i've done and tried everything I can to sort this out because everything seems like user error but I can't see what is wrong. The other weird thing is none of the games appearing in the games menu. I could understand if 1 or 2 didn't appear but all...? Tried relogging to your shell (and desktop) after adding yourself to the games group? Cheers Samuli, I had a fault with Server 2008R2 in virtualbox and had to restart and afterwards all the programs are where they should be in the menu and they can be started. Sorry about this, it's the first time i've needed to log in/out to be able to run commands. |
