Dophin crashes when I try to search from /

Because I am having a problem with MAME, I wanted to search for mame file at my pc.

So I start Dolphin, click up twice so it says / in the top of the window.

When I enter any letter with my keyboard, dolphin crashes.

When I start dolphin from the command line, I see:

dolphin

This does not happen when I search in my home folder.

Running on Tumbleweed the same attempt, I get a permissions error and notification that ‘kdeini5 closed unexpectedly.’ Running in the terminal, it looks like permissions are the issue.

I’m not sure it’s advisable to run Dolphin as root…but maybe a ‘find’ command from the root directory would work??

There are better ways to do this, I even do not know how to search for files using Dolphin…

Try on the command line “which mame”. If that is not successful, try “find /usr -name mame”

I didn’t even realize it was a command they were looking for–this would indeed be the better way to go about finding MAME (?). Perhaps there is something wrong with the program? I was distracted by the mention of a Dolphin crash. :stuck_out_tongue:

MAME = Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.

I use it so I can play the original Pac Man Robotron and some more. It used to work fine, but now suddenly no more sound.

Interesting, this is some good news, at least its not just my computer.
Well one way, I have not tried yet, might be to use file browser as root. There is this option some were in the menus. I sometimes use it to copy files to places I can´t copy to as normal user.

Thank you will give it a try.

I now know that dolphin crashing is not a problem just at my pc, and that is a relieve.

I might try to update MAME, and prey my roms will still work.

(so I wont have to redownload another rom pack)

But first want to see if I can find the problem.
