I originally posted this on the linux mint forums but thought posting on these forums might get a quicker response.
I'm currently running Linux Mint 13 MATE 32-bit.
So my issue comes with trying to add new songs to stepmania. I tried compiling it myself and was running into all sorts of issues so I instead turned to using apt-get. It seems as though to add songs to the game I need to place them into the /usr/share/games/sm-ssc/songs directory however I cannot because I get permission denied.
I've tried to use the terminal (sudo cp) as well as gksu nautilus to move the files there with success however once I move them there they cannot be accessed unless I have higher permissions and the game doesn't seem to pick up on them either. I assume that has to do with the permissions required or something like that, I don't know I'm just guessing. So I guess I'm looking for a way to move files into the directory without raising the required permission to access them or something like that.
I tried just going to ~/.stepmania-5.0/ but there's no songs directory there and creating one had no effect.
