More problems with games; can't launch COD
I'm very sorry, but I now have this other problem. I can't launch Call of Duty anymore, I just get this:
wine: '/home/jeremy/.cedega/Dot TransGaming/wineserver-localhost-jeremy' must not be accessible by other users For a while, no problems, no errors. Just type in "sh codsp" and I'm in the game. Now all the sudden, I get this error. Why? |
well, is '/home/jeremy/.cedega/Dot TransGaming/wineserver-localhost-jeremy' accessible to other users?
you could try 'chmod 700 /home/jeremy/.cedega/Dot TransGaming/wineserver-localhost-jeremy' and/or 'chown jeremy:jeremy /home/jeremy/.cedega/Dot TransGaming/wineserver-localhost-jeremy' |
When in /home/jeremy, I get this error when trying to set it to allow users
Could not change permissions for /home/jeremy/.desktop. The odd thing is, I did play this game before. I don't know why it's all the suddenly not allowing me to play this. The other game works still. I hate to say it, but this is one time I miss windows. this permission thing is confusing. It works one day, then not another? it was accessed, then I get a permission denied? |
Yeah, I know how you feel. I find myself missing windows occasionally too.
If you can't change permissions for a file, it is because you are not the "owner" of the file whose permissions you want to change. To becomethe owner, you have to log in as the current owner of the file, or root, then type the comand chown yourusername:yourgroup yourfile.ext |
this is what i get in root:
[jeremy@localhost ~]$ su [root@localhost jeremy]# sh codsp Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/transgaming_cedega/Point2Play_gui.py", line 2379, in ? Point2Play_ref = Point2Play.Point2Play( config_file ) File "/usr/lib/transgaming_cedega/Point2Play.py", line 352, in __init__ config_file.readfp( file( filename, "r" ) ) IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/root/.cedegarc' [root@localhost jeremy]# I don't get this. I know windows wasn't a PERFECT OS, but I understood it more. I don't get this. I played this game, even the expansion pack, no problems. I did no changes, didn't go in any other user, nothing new. It just fails now. |
I think it's been solved and explains why doom 3 worked and not COD or even American McGee's Alice.
Call of Duty, its expansion and American McGees Alice is under cedega. Doom 3 is under this native installer. I went to "Transgaming Cedega" (the installed program), and I entered in my user name and password. It seems to work now |
