Description of problem: After installing MGA9 and the meta-package "Games" there was no entry "Spiele" in the start-menue of KDE Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Hardware: All => x86_64
Thank you for the report. Which ISO did you install Mageia from? The Plasma Live, or Classic? Do any of the individual games show in the menus? My own system, which includes Plasma along with other desktops, does have a 'Games' menu category, containing just one item which I installed individually. I cannot say whether 'Games' was present before (empty). CC'ing others who may be better placed to judge this.

How reproducible: Using Mageia-9-x86_64.iso, dd USB-Stick 8GB formating "/" MGA8 choosing "Plasma" Asking my friend: "what do you want in addition to the basic installation?" "to play on cards, I found in MGA8 K-Menue: Spiele/Karten/PySolFC" Steps to Reproduce: 1.I selected meta-Package "Spiele" (games) 2.A great number of RPM Packages were downloaded and installed. 3.After finishing, in K-Menue there was no entry "Spiele" (games) 4. Back to MCC (software - installing and removing) /Spiele/Karten the two rpm with PySolFC in the name, where marked as "installed". (beside others) Google -- nothing found, but the hint, that GNOME too has card-games. I found it (MCC) under "Spiele/Andere" GNOME-Games. one click, addition packages, installed. Back to K-Menue, all problems are solved. we found: "Spiele/Karten/PySolFC" and hundreds of other games.
For some more information from the discussion in the forum thread, the issue seems to come from the same source: As OP selected task-games and PySolFC in the installer, and both need the recommended packages (and installer does not install recommended packages unless they are explicitly listed in rpmsrate IIRC) neither all of the games nor PySolFC-cardsets (which is a Recommends of PySolFC and required to run it, should probably better be a Requires instead) were installed. Hence the 'Games' menu category was not created. Or OP did not wait long enough for the menu refresh, which happens automatically based on inotify. I also cannot reproduce, installed PySolFC and 'Games' menu category was created instantly without issues, menu entry for PySolFC was present.

Too late to test without games installed, the category Games is here, I install PySolFC, PySolFC-cardsets, and pysolfc-cardsets-paulodicker, and a Card item is added I don't test install task-games, suggest a lot of packages
Thank you Florian for your comment 3. If I understand it correctly: "neither all of the games nor PySolFC-cardsets (which is a Recommends of PySolFC and required to run it, should probably better be a Requires instead) were installed." Hence the 'Games' menu category was not created." So Jürgen was unaware that none were installed. Is this an Installer fault? It looks as if he had installed subsequently task-games or any individual games package (recommends included), the Games menu category would have appeared. The specific issue of PySolFC-cardsets (which is a Recommends of PySolFC and required to run it, should probably better be a Requires instead) warrants its own bug. CC'ing Martin for his view (comment 3, recommended pkgs), to formulate the bug for Installer - if that looks right.

The sideeffect of make all the games Requires in task-games instead Recommends is you can't uninstall one without uninstall all
