Hi,

I got AJE starting and showing good in linux but when i try to pass turn or save the game i get a message saying that the file is locked by operating system.
I assume this is not supported but if you can answer me one question i can do the rest.

what is the file involved that might be locked?

For instance, I try the year of the 4 emperors and I go to Games/Alea Jacta Est/AJE/Saves/4-YearFourEmperors68# and I see all good

Code: Select all

 ls -als
total 10776
   4 drwxrwxrwx 2 alvaro alvaro    4096 Oct  4 21:08 .
   4 drwxrwxrwx 3 alvaro alvaro    4096 Oct  4 21:08 ..
2692 [B]-rwxrwxrwx[/B] 1 alvaro alvaro 2753304 Oct  4 21:08 4-YearFourEmperors68.hst
2692 [B]-rwxrwxrwx[/B] 1 alvaro alvaro 2752594 Oct  4 21:08 4-YearFourEmperors68~OTH.trn
2692 [B]-rwxrwxrwx[/B] 1 alvaro alvaro 2752594 Oct  4 21:08 4-YearFourEmperors68~VSP.trn
2692 [B]-rwxrwxrwx[/B] 1 alvaro alvaro 2752594 Oct  4 21:08 4-YearFourEmperors68~VTL.trn


permissions everywhere

am I looking at the wrong files?

files are routinely deleted and rewritten in saves, logs, scripts folders. Here I would say it is saves that has a problem. Check also in settings, for sake of being complete.

ok, thanks.
I'll make sure that logs and scripts are given the write and exec rights later today.
