Summary	0006113: 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.

rhertzog 2020-02-19 08:24 administrator ~0012309	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.

franck 2020-02-19 08:26 reporter ~0012310	i'm running as root.

rhertzog 2020-02-20 07:57 administrator ~0012319	We did stop using the root user by default with 2020.1. I would suggest that you change your habits too.
