A trivial point perhaps, but mahjongg (one of the gnome-games package) has disappeared off the games menu. The packages were updated on 8th Jan and recently I discovered mahjongg doesn't work anymore. I tried to run it from the console and got a string of messages about missing tiles and then a segmentation fault - so something is happening.
Anyone else get this behaviour? Or know what has happened?

There is a new gnome-games-extra package that has mahjongg. I don't know why these games were separated out, but a simple "yum list *games*" turned it up for me.

Agreed - I have both gnome-games and gnome-games-extra, though, and the Jan 8 update seems to have corrupted the mahjongg game.

Perhaps a remove/install cycle of gnome-games-extra may help.

WorksForMe. Try yum reinstall gnome-games-extra.

I just have and it doesn't work. All the other games work, but mahjongg is no longer in the menu and if I try to run it from a terminal I get this:
(mahjongg:2863): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_ascii_strncasecmp: assertion `s2 != NULL' failed
10 times over and then
** (mahjongg:2863): WARNING **: Too few tiles in map map Segmentation fault
The obvious interpretation of this is that it can't find something, but I don't see how anything could get lost and not be restored by a fresh installation.
Are there any configuration files hidden away somewhere? There must be, actually, since you select the tile face and the layout. But I can't find them.

Please file a bug in Bugzilla to get it fixed.
In the meantime, you'll find a working Mahjongg game in the kdegames package. :-)

Done. And thanks for the tip - I am suffering withdrawal symptoms!

Here's what's in the package:

Your perdonal config settings are in .gconf/apps/mahjongg/%gconf.xml (found with 'find ~ -name *mahjongg*').
Not so hard...

No, indeed. But all the files are there - as you would expect after a fresh install. The config file seems to be OK, too, except that it doesn't say what tileset to use, only the layout. I had already tried hiding it, to see if a default version would get created, but it doesn't.
So what's different? You have got gnome-games-extra-2.28.2-1.fc12.x86_64 installed and working? I had no problem with 2.28.1-1.
Well, thanks for the suggestions, anyway. I have now reported this in Bugzilla.

Yes, currently gnome-games-extra-2.28.2-1.fc12.x86_64, currently working.

Sorry I wasn't more useful.
