Programming / Re: Upgraded to nightly and game can no longer find my data (LINUX - UBUNTU)

Thanks for the suggestions. My data is in ~/.local/share/openxcom/UFO but it didn't find it Tried deleting the ~/.config/openxcom/options.cfg and still the same.

To make sure I wasn't going crazy I tried reinstalling 1.0 through the Ubuntu repo that was set up, put the data in ~/.local/share/openxcom/data and ran first time. I then uninstalled it but using synaptic this time (mark for complete removal) to see if dug any other lingering stuff from 1.0 out. When I try my compiled version it's still throwing the same error so wondering if it's something I've done wrong there.

myk002, thank you   Here's my full openxcom.log:

Programming / Upgraded to nightly and game can no longer find my data (LINUX - UBUNTU)

« on: May 12, 2015, 11:53:39 pm »

I've been using OpenXcom (Thank you for making this BTW, fantastic!!) but seeing the announcement I thought I'd make the jump to the new nightly with changed data folder locations. Installed all the dependencies, followed the "Compiling with Make" instructions on the ufopaedia wiki, compilation went fine, etc. and copied the data over for both UFO and TFTD (my version is from the old CDs, not the Steam release) but I keep getting an error "GEODATA/PALETTES.DAT not found" when I run the binary it created in the OpenXcom/bin folder.

I've tried a few different things. The log file in the bin folder showed that it created the mods folder in my ~/.local/share/openxcom/mods That's where I first tried putting the UFO/TFTD folders.
There are also folders "common", "standard", "TFTD" and "UFO" in that same bin folder as the executable. I tried putting the data there, same problem. I tried running it with the -data option, pointing it directly to ~/.local/share/openxcom/ same issue.

I read the log in the ~/.local/share/openxcom folder. The first line after "Data search is:" shows ~/.local/share/openxcom, where I first put the data. I read the data locations article at  https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom#directory-locations and that tells me the data should be in "$HOME/.local/share/openxcom" (as I understand it $XDG_DATA_HOME is not defined in Ubuntu) and it is indeed in there so feeling a little lost.

I've had a look over the forums and saw someone mention a similar problem on earlier versions (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,3485.0.html). They found running as root solved it for them, maybe suggesting a permissions issue on folders,  but didn't make any difference to me. Case sensitivity was mentioned. Never a problem on any previous released milestones but tried it anyway, no difference.

Any help appreciated.
