Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: powermanga
Base info:
Using Xubuntu 9.04 both regular and with "proposed" (two systems, both have the
same issue).
Powermanga version: 0.90-dfsg-1
I expect the high scores to be updated after playing a game, but they do not. I
think this causes it:
The files containing the high scores are only writeable by root.
However, every normal user should be able to update the high scores.
The files are located in /var/games/powermanga/:
powermanga.hi
powermanga.hi-easy
powermanga.hi-hard
The "easy" one is used with `powermanga --easy` etc. Setting the files
to "world writeable" causes the high scores to be updated as expected.
Tested for long playing hours with both normal and easy mode ;)
FURTHER INFO:
There exists a group "games" of which the normal user account (the account I
created during the Xubuntu installation) is NOT a member. I can imagine that
people would want to restrict gaming possibilities and you could set the above
files to be only writeable by group "games". However, that would also cause
the game to run less than optimal without tweaking.
