take care

Hi Don
I’m not sure if this is what your looking for but cribbage is mentioned here’s the description
This is a collection of some of the text-based games and amusements that have been enjoyed for decades on unix systems.It includes these programs: adventure, arithmetic, atc, backgammon,
battlestar, bcd, boggle, caesar, canfield, countmail, cribbage, dab,
go-fish, gomoku, hack, hangman, hunt, mille, monop, morse, number,
pig, phantasia, pom, ppt, primes, quiz, random, rain, robots, rot13,
sail, snake, tetris, trek, wargames, worm, worms, wump, wtf
You’ll find it in Synaptic it’s called bsdgames
sudo apt-get install bsdgames
Good luck
Graeme
Thanks Graeme,
I had a look for BSD games pack earlier but didn’t find it anywhere. I ran your suggestion and got this.
don@ldwatson ~ $ sudo apt-get install bsdgames

You might want to run ‘apt-get -f install’ to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
epson-inkjet-printer-201101w:i386 : Depends: lsb:i386 (>= 3.2) but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt-get -f install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).
don@ldwatson ~ $ apt-get -f install
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
don@ldwatson ~ $
I haven’t a clue what is going on.
Did you have Synaptic open when you ran the command ?
if so close it first
Graeme
No, I only had a terminal open.
Should I delete this and start again ?
this is being caused by the unconfigured printer driver package … we need to fix that first, so come back to this topic after we’ve sorted your epson printer topic
Once that topic is fixed:
sudo apt-get install bsdgames
should now work.
for any future readers … running:
sudo apt-get -f install
would have fixed the issue.
I tried that command and get this
don@ldwatson ~ $ sudo apt-get install bsdgames

bsdgames is already the newest version.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
linux-headers-3.16.0-38 linux-headers-3.16.0-38-generic
linux-image-3.16.0-38-generic linux-image-extra-3.16.0-38-generic
Use ‘apt-get autoremove’ to remove them.
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
don@ldwatson ~ $ apt-get autoremove
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
don@ldwatson ~ $
you need to prefix that command with sudo
sudo apt-get autoremove
Loks like they’re already installed … is there nothing in the menus for the games ?
maybe try reinstalling them:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall bsdgames
Hi Mark,
I have tried a reinstall but there is still no sign of bsd games ?
OK, these are pretty rubbish terminal games (shoulda known from the title) … run:
cribbage
and you’ll see what I mean.
What exactly are you after ?
Cribbage against a computer, or cribbage against someone else … say a friend ?
Have you seen this extension for chrome:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/offtime-cribbage/hklkedeppmfgddofnnaljdllfemfligg?hl=en
can’t say I’ve tried it myself though.
Are there no online cribbage games you could create an SSB for with Peppermint’s ICE application ?
Hi Mark,
I see what you mean about ‘pretty rubbish terminal games’.
There are a fair number of windows games that look very good, I would like to play the computer only.
The Chrome game looks ok but it looks as if they are developing a ‘versus the computer’ app.
EDIT Mark I had a look for cribbage games for Linux and this is the first load of sxxt that turns up
http://www.winsite.com/cribbage/cribbage+for+linux/index3.html It’s a minefield out there.
I had a look at the Peppermint Online User Guide in regard to Ice and I think I know what to look for, a free web browser app for cribbage ?
Yeah, if you can find an online version you like, just post the URL here and I’ll tell you how to enter it into ICE
It’ll then be in the games menu, and open in a browser window without all the usual tabs and menus … so it appears like a local application.
Meanwhile I think I saw some java cribbage games about … I’ll have a looksee at those.
Hi Mark,
Does this look ok ? He seems to have opened up his coding for inspection. I was wondering if it would be ok to try ?
Point is I am worried about dragging a lot of rubbish in, my experience with CNet on Windross made me abandon windows.
or this

This one requires a Java enabled browser. I have this one in Ice. How can I try his one ?
