Summary0006113: Can't install games i.e. "jumpnbump"
Description

When I install a game, i.e the "jumpnbump" package, it will install two icons in the menu,
but both will fail to run with a "Failed to execute command "jumpnbump" Failed to execute child process ... (no such file or directory)
I guess it's because /usr/games is not in the PATH.

Steps To Reproduce
  • install jumpnbump package
  • try to run it from the menu
Additional Information

every other game I tried had the same issue.

Are you running your user session as root or as some other user ?

Because /etc/profile adds /usr/games to the PATH for normal users but not for root.

We did stop using the root user by default with 2020.1. I would suggest that you change your habits too.
