How do I Install Gnome Hearts

[cousinlucky]

The only thing that I miss about my former windows xp os is the Hearts game. I tried downloading the gnome hearts zip file and extracted it but it did not work. Then I found it in the synaptic package manager and I tried that on my ubuntu 8.04 os.

I must not be doing something correctly. Can anyone help me out with this, Please!!

Thank You!

The game shows to be in Universe, so you should be able to install it with Synaptic if the repo is enabled. Can you post any error messages that you received, or reveal the details of what happened or didn't happen that causes you to say the package installation failed?

Ozar, between my post and now I went back to synaptic and added the gnome games extras and then I probed google and found on ubuntu forums that a correction needed to be made because the cards were located in a different file.

I opened the terminal and pasted the code in and now I finally have gnome hearts on my computer again!! Here is the code:

You see, the default cards are in the /usr/share/gnome-common-games directory while gnome-hearts searches in the /usr/share/pixmaps directory.

A simple symbolic link to the gnome-common-games directory does the trick. To make this, do the following:

cd /usr/share/pixmaps/
sudo ln -s ../gnome-games-common/


I have not lost my touch either First Game John 71 - Pauline 101 - Mike 93 - Lucky 21
