Description andré blais 2017-05-31 01:08:33 CEST

Description of problem:

Gnugo (if installed) is run by cgoban

In the default configuration for cgoban, the location of gnugo is given as /usr/bin/gnugo.
However it is actually installed at /usr/games/gnugo.

Workaround :
When cgoban is run, the location of gnugo is displayed, in an editable field.
So the user only has to change "/usr/bin/gnugo" to "/usr/games/gnugo".
Once corrected, it is saved with whatever other configuration changes are made.
So the correction only has to be made once.

Note that most users probably will have no idea how to find the cause of the error.  The error message is something like "waiting for connexion".

it should be fixed in mga7 now - thanks. Is a backport to mga6 warranted?

Version: 5 => 6

Two notes:

1. There is no default configuration file - the path is hardcoded in the exe source.

2. You can also try https://www.kde.org/applications/games/kigo/ .

Your call, but I wouldn't worry about it, unless someone else requests it.
