 |
|
Ok here is my issue.
on my user account I cannot play any installed games.
I can access the /usr/games, but not the sub directories.
The bin, include, and lib directories are owned by root, and games is the group.
| Code: |
drwxr-xr-x 5 games root 120 May 24 12?:57 .
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 512 May 24 12:31 ..
drwxr-x--- 2 root games 296 May 24 14:28 bin
drwxr-x--- 2 root games 256 May 24 12:57 include
drwxr-x--- 2 root games 952 May 24 12:57 lib
|
My /etc/group for games is
So I am at a loss. I did not change anything in the group or the directories.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Also my acount digit$ is part of the wheel, audio,cdrom,video,users,games groups. |

Sorry guys.
But is just did that last thing that I thought would fix this....a reboot.
Again this is strange I never had to reboot before. Maybe I had a stuck process or a stopped job that I didn't close out correctly  . |

A simple logout and re-login would also do the trick...  |
