File **.desktop doesn't exist at this point (step 6), but it's going to be created inside "/usr/share/applications/hildon/" with step 8 when you will execute command "desktopgen /home/user/Games/Sim3/appinfo.json". When **.desktop file is created once (and other 2 files mentioned in step 6) it doesn't need to be moved anywhere, because its already placed in right location (the same is with other 2 files).

Thank you for your help because that part confused me, I have another problem if anyone can help.

When I xterminal I get this error: -sh: syntax error: "in" unexpected

The image is of the exact folder structures I used, I have recently flashed and formatted to PR 1.3, is there something I need to install or do? :confused:

It is not "in", but "ln"!!!

I guess I have some serious issues with the way I tried to set this up.

Which firmware do you have PR1.2 (10.2010.19-1) or PR1.3 (20.2010.36-2)?

I checked with "dkpg -l libpurple*" if I have installed this package and I don't have, nor I have folder "/etc/purple/". Probably some application is causing you conflicts. If you don't know how to resolve this issue, maybe you should consider to reflash firmware.

I have PR 1.3...check the screenshot.

Is it because when I flashed the PR 1.3 image when it released officially I also flashed the eMMC image for a fresh clean install...

I have set the phone up to the way I want it to be now and would definitely not like to reflash and start from scratch again.

Is there some other alternate way out? Sorry for the trouble.

Try reinstalling pidgin.

apt-get remove pidgin libpurple0
apt-get install pidgin

So, if he will be able to run the game as a root, then probably my assumption would be correct.

EDIT: I'm not so clever, nor I know much about linux, but somewhere was mentioned that files gamesett and gamedata also need permission and if they are placed in Opt partition then that could be the problem.

Yep but if you put the file in eMMC FAT32 then the permission is already User permission read/write. All you need do is to setting up the permission to read/write on all files and that meant he has to set the permission to read/write as well in /home/user/Games as well as /home/user/MyDocs/Games

Yes, I completely understand the point of your tutorial (to free up Opt partition) and things around permissions. But time to time there are some people who are less familiar with all this technical stuff and because of that they have issues. In another thread I saw that some people could run games only as a root. That usually happened when they had all files in Opt partition where probably some essential files didn't have proper permissions..

I guess my problems are cause of the Pidgin update error problems that I read in some other thread that deals with the libpurple package.
