 Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2007 7:15 pm Post subject: Boson won't start from users |
 |
|
Hi,
I just emerged games-strategy/boson-0.13 and I have problems to get it start from normal user. When I start it fromm root all it's fine, but from my everyday user:
| Code: | $ boson
[int main(int, char**)] Boson 0.13 is starting...
[int main(int, char**)] resolving GL, GLX and GLU symbols
cannot enter directory /usr/games/lib
Resolved GL symbols from file /usr/lib/opengl/ati/lib/libGL.so
Resolved GLU symbols from file /usr/lib/libGLU.so
[int main(int, char**)] GL, GLX and GLU symbols successfully resolved
oops - bodebug.areas not found! check your installation!
|
I searched this "bodebug.areas":
| Code: | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 838 Nov 13 10:45 /usr/share/config/bodebug.areas
|
I already tried to change permissions. No compile boson errors. It's like this path is missing somewhere in an env-variable, but I don't really know where I can look for.
thx

Stupid question I'm sure, but is the user you are attempting to run it as in the "games" group?
What are the permissions of /usr/games/lib?

games:x:35:root,luca

So what files where actually installed by boson?
Was everything installed under /usr/share?
Use `equery f boson` to see.

The file bodebug.areas is in /usr/share/config. Either a permissions problem or the file is not being put where it should. On my system that directory is
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2007-12-18 19:17 config
The files exists but a normal user can not access it.
edit: I set that directory to 755 and it works
