UFlip and UConnect are hitting /proc/cmdline stuff just before opening the /.db, so maybe it's having trouble finding a path

chmod-ing 777 the .db file ? i didn't even find it but i chomd-ed the UFlip file itself and didn't work

I used chmod -R 777 folder-of-uflip and didn't work

Hey guys,
I'd run an strace UFlip a couple of weeks ago and found the same reference to .db and .db-journal. Sorry I forgot to post, I've been a little preoccupied lately.

Anyway, I had created empty files in vi at the root location, and did chmod 664 (rw-rw-r--), and the game did update the modified date/time. I've attached them here (as a ZIP with the preceding . removed), looks like it doesn't (can't?) write to the .db (0 byte filesize) but no problem writing the .db-journal.

Not sure if this is of any help to anyone, I can try other scenarios if anyone has some ideas.

Thanks for the assist.
Can you write the strace log here too please? (Since I don't have the game.)
I guess jflatt was talking about the / (Top of all folders) though.
EDIT:And I guess something similar happens with the R vs. A .

I played R v A just fine until level 74 so far.. no saving problem..

But i didn't use .deb file, i installed it manually by extracting the .ipk

No prob, attached to this post. It seems to want to write to the db after each page/screen is completed (and it throws an in-game error on the first attempt). Would love to hear how you go....

BTW, best compression I've seen in a long time, 1.05 Mb text file down to 57 Kb.... LOL, must be a lot of repetition in the trace.

its a bitlogik problem all their games dont save

If you didn't understand what to do, you can run it as root, for now.(Although this is not going to be a good solution)

what i understood is that they are still looking for a solution
or they are looking for a better solution
what i meant is that all bitlogik games have this problem
thanks for all good work.
