Sudoku Forgets Generated Puzzles and Highscores

[dbustad]

Binary package hint: gnome-games

Sudoku in Gutsy Gibbon does not seem to remember any highscores or generated puzzles if the application is closed and reopened. Here is the output from the terminal:

dbustad@pebl:~$ gnome-sudoku --version
2.20.0.1
dbustad@pebl:~$ apt-cache show gnome-games
Package: gnome-games

...

Version: 1:2.20.0.1-0ubuntu2

...

dbustad@pebl:~$ gnome-sudoku
Unable to load puzzles: <type 'exceptions.IOError'>: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/dbustad/.gnome2/gnome-sudoku/generated_puzzles'

I first noticed this when running from the Live CD. After attempting again on a freshly-installed and -updated system, the problem persists.

I can also post the output of 'gnome-sudoku -p' but it doesn't appear to provide any useful additional information.

Just found this upstream:

If I copy ~/.gnome2/gnome-sudoku/generated_puzzles and games_in_progress from a Feisty system, the error message goes away. However, any newly-generated puzzles are not persistent.

Thanks for working on this!

This is probably useless and I admit I haven't looked at the source but might this be related by trying to write the new puzzles and the high scores to the developer's $HOME/.gnome2/ instead of the user's $HOME/.gnome2??? I personally haven't noticed issues with the generation of puzzles, but high-scores are indeed lost.

On my Gutsy system the directory gnome-sudoku was simply missing. So I created it.
Then it complained that the file generated_puzzles was missing. So I created that too.
Finally (after getting an EOF error) it seemed to go ahead, but now when it exits it gives the following:

Unable to load puzzles: <type 'exceptions.EOFError'>:
