"It works as root, but as a user I get a lot of errors that include the words 'Permission Denied'" pretty much guarantees that the problem is the ownership of the game's installation folder and the files it contains. In a terminal, do an la /path/to/ut2004 and look at the permissions of the folder and the files. Obviously, owned by root (normal, since root probably installed it), but who is the group owner? That should usually be 'games'. If the group owner is not the 'games' group, change the folder's ownership recursively so that the 'games' group rather than the 'root' group owns the folder as well as the files it contains. If the group owner is the 'games' group, you should verify that your user is a member of that group, and if not, add your user to the 'games' group, which should solve the issue. If the group owner is the 'games' group, and the user is a member of the 'games' group, make sure that the group has rights to read, write, and execute the files in the folder. Sometimes games install with the right ownership, but the wrong permissions. Hope this helps. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
