Uninstaller has delete my complete User Folder on Suse Linux
« on: September 13, 2006, 09:58:24 pm »
Hi

This is my first Thread in this Forum and my english is not really good, sorry for that.
I have installed the Game in my User Directory, but then i saw that the Game didn´t make a Folder for it self.
So all the Data of the Game was between my other Data. (My Mistake)
So I want to uninstall the Game with the Uninstaller Icon on my Desktop and Install it new.
But after two Second´s i click the uninstaller Icon my complete User Folder was empty, except the hidden Folders.
So i´am a little angry about this and think that that´s a bug you may fix in the Future.

P.S the lost Data was not in the Trash, I have searched the Net to find something about undelete files on Linux but
i´am a newbie to that so i have no chance to do that.

for me your uninstaller Programm is more than a Virus and I warn all people to use it.

umm, yeah, now that I think of it, the uninstaller deletes the folder that you installed planeshift into completely. I didn't think that anyone would install it directly into their home folder instead of installing it into a new planeshift directory (like the example /opt/planeshift dir). Sorry about that    :o

I'll change it so it only removes the files that were installed, leaving any new there.

This is like one of those [GM]Dave stories...  ::|
To see the world in a grain of sand
And Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

Hi

OK I didn´t throw my PC out of the Window and i managed to calm down.
I think I must thank God that i Haven´t install this game as Root.

Xordan i wonder if you can do something for me ingame in exchange for my lost Data, like a good Armor and, or
a really good Sword. Please think about that.

Hogen

PS: I have read the stories about GM Dave and that helps a lot to get my Humor back.
again sorry for my bad English this is one of the Reasons for me to play this Game, because i hope
to learn a little bit English.

We do not give compensation for something like that. It's silly to give items for out-of-game mistakes/bugs.
