Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-games
Hello,
Just a problem I discovered trying the Games menu in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
Some of the games cannot be launched. (These games are in the official
distribution, I did not add them)
- gnome-hearts
- glchess
- mahjongg (not sure of this one)
- gnibbles
- pacman
(I did not try all of them, but some could be launched and some not)
Example:
This message appears when trying to launch gnome-hearts:
Impossible de lancer << Dame de Pique >>
L'exécution du processus fils << gnome-hearts >> a échoué
(Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type)
Sorry I do not have official english message, I try to translate here
from myself:
Impossible to launch Hearts
The execution of the child process "gnome-hearts" failed
(No such file or directory)
I tried to find those games on the file system, and I found them in
/usr/games/
So next step was to change the launcher: I Right-clicked on the application
menu,
and I changed the command line, adding the directory prefix /usr/games/
So instead of:
gnome-hearts
The new command is:
/usr/games/gnome-hearts
Then bingo, with this modification the games can be launched.
Is this a common failure or is it just on my distribution? I did not find
another bug report for this...
Thank you for your answer
Enrico
