[Bug 202005] Re: Chess network game
Well yeah, I guess you're right. The official manual does mention that you should be able to play instantly on the GGZ network without any modifications: http://library.gnome.org/users/glchess/unstable/playing-glchess.html.en See "Network Game ( Ctrl+L ) This starts a network multiplayer game using GGZ Gaming Zone.". So I guess this is a Ubuntu specific bug in that case. -- Chess network game https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202005 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 202005] Re: Chess network game
I disagree with FredWP that this isn't a bug. This is quite a serious user interface bug. There is no indication whatsoever that the network game feature does anything at all unless you happen to know what package to install and what command to run. Even the manual had no instructions on what to do. -- Chess network game https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202005 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 202005] Re: Chess network game
This is not a bug people, it is just not configured by default. To configure the GGZ network (the main GNOME games network) do this: sudo aptitude install ggz-gtk-client Then run the application and configure your profile and such properly (check all settings, configure them and apply them): ggz-gtk Now when you do the same thing again, the "GGZ Community (fast)" option will appear in the list when you pick a network game in glChess. To prevent further confusion and make it user friendlier the Ubuntu developers might want to preconfigure this, and for example by default make users have a guest account named "UbuntuUser01" or something. I hope this was helpful. ** Attachment added: "GGZ glChess Network" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18041676/ggz-glchess-network.png -- Chess network game https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202005 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
