Games on Gnome-installation

English Games
#1

In a Gnome-box (leap 15.2), when I try to install some games, e.g.: boswars, dangerdeep, minecraft-launcher, enigma, lincity-ng, zypper tells me it cannot find the packages in question.
On the contrary, in a KDE-Plasma-box I have not any problem installing the same packages.
The games-repository is in both boxes enabled.
And so, I would like to know, whether there is a problem with the configuration of the gnome-box or of the games-repository.

Hi
Can you show the output from your repository configuration for both systems?

Hi
Sure it’s the tools sub repository? Likely you have this one on the other system (as that’s where the packages are) <http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/>

#5

Yes, I am sure.
By the way, some years ago I already was confrontated with the same problem, everything OK on KDE and some little troubles on Gnome (also with games).
Hereunder you can read the configuration of my games.repo

[games]
enabled=1
autorefresh=1
baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games:/tools/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/
priority=85
keeppackages=0

Hi
The games:tools repository is not the place for the missing packages, they are in games only, you need to fix the link :wink:

For example minecraft-launcher;
<http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/x86_64/minecraft-launcher-2.1.17627-lp152.1.1.x86_64.rpm.mirrorlist>

No games:tools, just games.

Thanks a lot, it is working now :slight_smile:

I will certainly show it to my son, he is fond of minecraft!

#10

Hi
Likewise here :slight_smile: The other one is minecraft-overviewer… <https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:malcolmlewis:openSUSE_General/minecraft-overviewer> http://overviewer.org/

I don’t have much experience of using Gnome but if it can’t even install a game properly its not worth much anyway.
