Games won't execute [solved] - Pliny.D.Elder - 5th September 2016
None of the installed games will execute.
"Could not find program xxxx" is what is displayed when clicking on a game in the pop up menu.
I have made a directory in Dolphin to /usr/games/....which will allow me to click on the game, and it opens.
They can be opened with konsole.
RE: Games won't execute - starbuck - 5th September 2016
Which games for example, and how did you install them?
RE: Games won't execute - Pliny.D.Elder - 6th September 2016
Kmahjongg installed with synaptic.
1. kmahjongg
2. kdegames-mahjongg-data-kf5
3. libkf5mahjongglib5
The chess and other games came with OS install.
they all return "could not find program xxx"
kmines, xboard, are some of the others.
RE: Games won't execute - starbuck - 6th September 2016
That sounds indeed very odd.
Kmahjongg comes pre-installed btw. so i wonder why it doesnt come up.
What launcher are you using? Can you do right click on one of the games and post how its configured via "Edit"?

Does dpkg --get-selections | grep mahjongg list all those mahjongg packages as installed ?
Can you manually run kbuildsycoca5 in terminal to force update the entries in the menu.
Does it work then ?
RE: Games won't execute - AJSlye - 6th September 2016
Hmm, they are working here on my system.
Could you please also copy and past the exact error messages your getting when launching one of these games?
RE: Games won't execute - Pliny.D.Elder - 7th September 2016

I don't know how, but I found a Menu folder in the trash. Will have to blame my young fella for that.....mmm

RE: Games won't execute - leszek - 7th September 2016
Can you try reinstalling the kmahjongg package and see if it works.
RE: Games won't execute - Pliny.D.Elder - 7th September 2016
Already tried.
All of them.
They will all start using the terminal.
RE: Games won't execute - AJSlye - 7th September 2016
It looks like you may have a corupted kmenu configuration file.
Try this and see what happens:
Code:
rm .config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu
