Title: TJW on Ubuntu
Post by: Aviator on January 28, 2010, 12:52:50 am

Hey, I can't seem to get TJW to go into the right folder. It says "Permssion denied." Anyone have any idea?

Edit: I recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 and I'm a Linux noob. :P

You have to use "sudo" to move it.

Assuming you used the Tremulous.net installer,

Code: [Select]

sudo mv /path/to/tremulous.x86 /usr/local/games/tremulous/
If you didn't use the Tremulous.net installer, go uninstall the one that the package manager installed and use the Tremulous.net one. ;)

OK I did that, followed this guide http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=10437.0 got to the end and created a launcher...and nothing happens :O

You probably didn't fix the permissions.

you might have to make it executable to do that(adjust the paths to suit where it was installed i think *buntuu installs it somewhere stupid)

su -c "chmod +x /usr/local/games/tremulous/tremulous.x86"
  or
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/games/tremulous/tremulous.x86

also when you run it you gotta make sure that the executable is ran in the install directory by changing the shortcuts working directory to the install directory

I don't think that was the problem. All that did was make it so I can't run the original tremulous executable. :P
