Yet another new player

[roustk]

I'm playing on Ubuntu, and whenever I try that it says "Character dump failed!"

Known bug in 3.0.9. Fixed for 3.1.0 with changset 851.
Basically, the logic of checking for the file was flipped.

Only workaround: remove the previous dump.

tomek@tomek:~$ ls -Rl ~/.angband
/home/tomek/.angband:
total 8
drwx------ 2 tomek tomek 4096 2008-05-11 20:27 Angband
drwx------ 2 tomek tomek 4096 2008-05-03 13:52 ZAngband

If Angband/Zangband are running as some user other than tomek, these directories should have drwxr-xr-x permissions.

Non-executable directories are pretty much unusable in *NIX.

Is 3.1.0 out yet or is it just the dev version you are talking about? I don't care that much about my dump files. I'll just get more creative about the save names.

The dev version.

Actually, that's one of the workarounds. The other is to answer 'n'o to the prompt.
