Problem, missing apps [Solved]

[Predatux]

Hello, I'm using Sabayon KDE and I have a problem with missing applications.

It happens especially with games. I have installed 0AD, mupen64plus, etc.. When looking at Kupfer, K menu, konsole, etc, the programs are not available.

In the package manager are installed. I tried to remove and install again, but no way.

I have all updates installed system.

Can anyone help me?

Hi Predatux and welcome to Sabayon-Forum,
did you allready added yourself to the games group? It tells you to do so in the terminal after installing the games. Just run the following code as root:

Code: Select all

# gpasswd -a yourusername games

cheers

i have the same problem. try the "search"-bar in the kickoff-menu, then the games will appear. now you can copy them to "favorites" or desktop. its only a work-around, any real solution would be nice. the "games" group is already added.

Need help

If you installed them and the installation ran to completion then they will be on your machine. It is possible that the binaries are not in your $PATH. See e.g. Unable to start installed games [Solved]. You can use various commands to find them, for example:

Code: Select all

$ whereis pacmanarena
pacmanarena: /usr/games/bin/pacmanarena

and, if /usr/games/bin/ is not in your $PATH then you would need to enter the command using Alt-F2 or in a Konsole/Terminal window (or configure the menu GUI to use the command):

Code: Select all

/usr/games/bin/pacmanarena

Code: Select all

$ whereis alien
alien:
$ whereis alien-arena
alien-arena:
$ whereis alienarena
alienarena: /usr/games/bin/alienarena
$ /usr/games/bin/alienarena

Another useful tool for finding files quickly is the locate command. You need to install the mlocate package and then populate its index file first:

Code: Select all

$ su
Password:
# equo install mlocate
# updatedb
# exit
$ locate pacmanarena

From the output you'll be able to see in the list where the likely binary or launch script is located.

Thanks a lot... solved.

whereis alinearena
/usr/games/bin/alienarena


Executing in konsole /usr/games/bin/alienarena for example, the game run. Now i can find it with kupfer or terminal.

BUMP on this (supertuxkart)...
I have added my username to gamers
The only way I can open this is with Krusader in root mode and going into /usr/games/bin
I would like to have it in the kickoff menu
I tried to create a shortcut in the menu but it wont open. I assume this is because /usr/games is owned by root.
Also recursively chown-ed /usr/games to my username but still no good
Even moved the executable to /usr/bin.. still no good

has anyone found a way to add this (or others like it) to kick-off?



Cant open via terminal either

Sorry,typo on my part above.
Anyway, it works now for some reason..after creating the menu item and giving it the path /usr/games/bin/supertuxkart
