Audio doesn't play on linux about super-haxagon HOT 7 CLOSED

SOLVED. The Game creates the directory sdmc/ without list nor access permissions, which causes the problems that I mentioned earlier. I can now run the game without root and sound works fine!

Just to make sure if you restart the game in a directory that doesn't have sdmc as a standard user, it creates the directory sdmc with r/w permissions right? I can sneak in a call that sets permissions in PlatformLinux.cpp but as you said it seems like the issue was just starting it as root on first launch.

If permissions aren't set correctly though I'll make sure it's done right!

Edit: Made stuff a bit more clear.

The root thing was my fault. I started the program with root on first launch and had the said problem, but it happens without root.
When you launch for the first time [no root], sdmc/ is created, but is an unreadable directory. I just had to modify sdmc/ 's permissions to allow its contents to be listed, and then the executable could launch. Seems to be a problem with permissions to list files in said folder. Hope this helps.

Sorry if I'm mixing things up.

Ok, I'll see if I can get around to building and testing on Linux to see if I can reproduce it. Optimally you shouldn't need to edit permissions to get things working.

(As a reminder to myself I'll re-open this issue)

Think you could try this binary? I added a 0 to the mkdir("./sdmc", 0755); to make it octal. I haven't tested it because my ubuntu install appears to be currently broken.

Tried it and works fine! sdmc is created without any problems and the game launches and plays fine.

Ayyy, turns out it was a silly mistake on my part. I'll go ahead and commit that small change but I won't make a new official build until I get my new level pack working.

Thanks for reporting this!
