I have suddenly found that /usr/games has disappeared off my path. Not only that but my normal otherwise but sudo enabled user seems to have a superuser’s path?
rhudson@adam:~$ echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
rhudson@adam:~$ id -u 1000
What would have changed suddenly? It was not like this yesterday. kpat is in /usr/games and I was able to launch it from task manager yesterday, but not today.
I have rebooted twice so far. I can run kpat by opening it from Dolphin.
I don’t want to have to re-install : ^ (
You’re going to have to remember what did you change. Is this bookworm? Things don’t just change themselves in Stable

I have done updates as offered, but I have not installed anything, and I have not edited any system file as far as I can remember (before this morning, see below for a troubleshooting step taken).
And I have played Minecraft and watched Youtube and Freetube.
When I noticed this happening (by trying to launch kpat this morning) I went to look at /etc/profile and added /etc/games to the id=0 part of the path setting and that did not help any so I removed it again. - something is setting the path to SU’s path along the way but I don’t know what.
