Hello, I have x-plane demo installed to /usr/local/games/X-Plane 8.50 Beta 10. Now x-plane does not fully understand multiuser and attempts to write to /usr/local/games/X-Plane 8.50 Beta 10 directory which it can't obviously. I wish they would make it so that it put it's write files in home.
Any way I would like to create a group called x-plane and add user self to that group. Then change the permissions on the files that I know that x-plane writes to. I like to give the group x-plane read and write permissions on the write files.
Right now the entire x-plane folder is user owned which is bad Linux form. I figure that by creating a group called x-plane and adding myself I can get more fine grained control and leave the other x-plane files and directory's read only by user.
I made a group called x-plane using users and groups in the System menu and added myself. Then using Nautilus I changed the group on the write files to x-plane and set it to read and write. I tried to do this using Nautilus as sudo. This did not work. The demo runs fine it just cant save preference changes.
Can anybody help me with this.
