After Intrepid PokerTH starts without any pictures (background, players etc.)

[Igor Gomes]

Binary package hint: pokerth

After the upgrade from Hardy, there's an error on the PokerTH menu entry.

Its points to "/usr/share/pokerth/pokerth", starting the game without backgrounds, players avatars etc.

As workaround (and suggestion to solve the problem), it should point to "/usr/games/pokerth", starting the game perfectly.

So you're on Intrepid, running PokerTH 0.6.2-2, right?
And you have pokerth-data installed? (It should have been installed as a dependency of pokerth).

The PokerTH binary is placed under /usr/games/pokerth, the data is in /usr/share/games/pokerth.
Both, the .desktop and the .menu file point correctly to /usr/games/pokerth (if it's in your $PATH), so the problem should not occur.

can you post the output of the following commands?
echo $PATH
ls /usr/share/pokerth
dpkg -L pokerth
dpkg -L pokerth-data
dpkg -l pokerth
dpkg -l pokerth-data
cat /usr/share/applications/pokerth.desktop

Here it is Evgeni.

I've also added the screenshot by calling "/usr/share/pokerth/pokerth" as I said. And, using the terminal, the command gives:

--
Avatar directory does not exist.
Avatar directory does not exist.

Please let me know if you need more inputs.

Best,

Igor Gomes

Okay, that looks strange:

> igorgomes@guarana ~> echo $PATH
> /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /sbin /bin /usr/games /usr/X11R6/bin
>

> data/ libs/ pokerth* pokerth.png*

You don't have /usr/share/pokerth in your $PATH (which is correct), so why does it get called?
What does "which pokerth" tell you?
And what "dpkg -S /usr/share/pokerth"?
It seems that dir and it's contents do not come from a package? Did you have PokerTH installed from source?

Before the upgrade, it was starting fine. The command on the menu entry was "/usr/share/pokertk/pokertk" and still being after the upgrade, when I tried to play. After that, I changed to "/usr/games/pokerth" as I've suggested as workaround.

It came originally from the hardy repository, without any installs from deb packages.

If there's no confirmation, maybe could be a specific issue with my system. Forget it.

igorgomes@guarana ~> which pokerth
/usr/games/pokerth

(realize the problem is the the menu entry doesn't call "pokerth", it calls "/ust/share/pokerth/pokerth" originally)

igorgomes@guarana ~> dpkg -S /usr/share/pokerth
dpkg: /usr/share/pokerth not found.

That *can't* be.
I just looked at the Hardy package of PokerTH - it calls "pokerth" only
(which then will be searched in your $PATH) and it installs the binary
to /usr/bin, not to /usr/share/pokerth.
Where does your /usr/share/pokerth/pokerth come from?

thats fine

Well, where do your files in /usr/share/pokerth come from then?

Puzzled,

If there's no way, probably I've added it by my own.

So, one more closed bug :- )
