Bug #2148
Doomsday does not pick up .deb installed iwads
Description
Ubuntu 64bit (and other debian distros regardless of 32 or 54bit)
doomsday_2.0.0.1843+trusty_amd64.deb
Does not seem to pick up iwads that are in the folder "/usr/share/games/doom" which is the default folder that debian based distros install freedoom and the doom shareware wads into (also the doom wad deb installer (locates your iwads and places them in "/usr/share/games/doom")
dave@theBeast:/usr/share/games/doom$ ls
doom1.wad freedoom1.wad freedoom2.wad freedoomu.wad freedoom.wad prboom-plus.wad

It picks up the wads now if they are in there.
But it doesn't seem to pick up the freedoom wads

Only the FreeDM multiplayer WAD is currently recognized since (AFAIK) it is the only one that's fully vanilla compatible.
