Linux Snag

Hi all,

I suspect this may be more to do with a Linux problem than a problem with SCUMMVM, but I thought I'd ask.

I've successfully downloaded and installed the Linux build for Fedora on my Acer Aspire One netbook, which runs Linpus Lite, loosely based on Fedora.

Problem is, I'm a Linux newbie, and when I try to find my games (which are copied over from my PC versions on a USB drive), after clicking "add game" SCUMMVM can't see any of my new folders. So if I create a folder in /usr/ called "Games," it can still see "Photos" "Videos" etc but not my new one.

Anyone got any tips on how to point SCUMMVM to the right directory?

ScummVM can not see your new "folders" because you doesn't point it to the parent dir where you created the new directories. Use the "go up" button and select the usr directory and you find them. But I think there is a little missunderstanding with the directory name usr. Under *nix userspecific files are stored in there home directory, /home/<username>/. You should create a directory for your games files in you home directory or use /usr/share/games for it.
