I would rather run Wayland as it seems to be the clear leader with X11 on its way to being deprecated. Can't reproduce. That said my kpat is in /usr/bin/kpat, where it belongs. Why would it be in /usr/games ? Created attachment 165038 [details] attachment-1794130-0.html Nicolas, Thanks for looking into this for me. rhudson@adam:~$ cd /usr/games rhudson@adam:/usr/games$ ls fortunegweledklicketykpatkshisenmicropolisonekotint rhudson@adam:/usr/games$ file kpat kpat: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=81710cb5e74713c21 7b4fccf58993beb2bfa0c5f, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped This is the way discover installed it on my system.

Well, for some reason Debian installes kpat to /usr/games instead of /usr/bin/ and adds to PATH. Weird but ok. That said it works as expected for me on Debian. /usr/games is in PATH on both X11 and Wayland. Can you check the value of PATH in "cat /proc/$(pidof plasmashell)/environ" ?

as I expected there is no /usr/games here. Why that is I don't know. Do you change PATH manually somewhere?
Created attachment 165044 [details] attachment-1821274-0.html I am not sure at this point. I am pretty sure that if I did it was only to try to add /usr/games in. In fact when I run Konsole and type kpat it started right up. On 1/19/24 08:50, Nicolas Fella wrote: > as I expected there is no /usr/games here. Why that is I don't know.

I am running a fresh install of Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) x86_64 on possibly a different laptop ( I am not sure which machine I discovered the problem on) and kpat and other programs are all working properly from the Task Manager. I also just checked that I am running Wayland before this reply. |
