Okay, so, I really don't know where to go with this. I've tried lots. None of the forum searches turned up solutions.
Tremulous 1.2, upon starting, always gives a screen like:

I've tried the official installer, the omni-zip, and compiling it from source, but when I install base/ and gpp/ to ~/.tremulous after removing it, it still doesn't want to work correctly. As far as I can tell, it isn't the problem with the UI files, but I might be wrong.
Tremulous 1.1 also runs perfectly fine, as well.
OS: Source Mage GNU/Linux
Graphics card: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
xf86-video-intel version: 2.8.1
xorg-server version: 1.6.3
Output of tremulous.x86_64: http://minozake.pastebin.com/raw.php?i=zwLUtyxg

you are trying to run gpp w/out the 1.1 install files
you say you have 1.1 installed copy the gpp executables to your install folder(often thats /usr/local/games/tremulous but on some systems and packages mgiht be different) and it should work might also be good to add your vms-gpp1.pk3 and data-gpp1.pk3 there too under a subfolder "gpp"(so /usr/local/games/tremulous/gpp) but that is prob optional
-
This error will happen when you try to install the gpp over a tremulous installation that you got from "apt-get install tremulous"

*facepalms* Teach me to read the downloads text.

This would be relevant if Source Mage was Debian-based.

In case it's still not clear for some people (it sure wasn't for me):
You need exactly three files: data-gpp1.pk3, vms-gpp1.pk3 and either tremulous-gpp.x86 or tremulous-gpp.x86_64 depending what system you run. You put the pk3's in a gpp/ dir near a base/ dir from 1.1 (either in ~/.tremulous or wherever you got the main files, I'm on Ubuntu). You put the executable in the same dir with the base/ dir. You run the executable. That's all.
For clarification, here's how it should look:
base/ <-- all the 1.1 stuff
gpp/data-gpp1.pk3 <-- 1.2 GPP data file
gpp/vms-gpp1.pk3 <-- 1.2 GPP data file
tremulous-gpp.x86 <-- 1.2 GPP executable (32 bit)
tremulous-gpp.x86_64 <-- 1.2 GPP executable (64 bit)
In addition, the dev servers may push to you updated versions of those pk3's (such as data-gppr1980.pk3 and vms-gppr2006.pk3). Those will go to ~/.tremulous/gpp/.
PS: Devs, it would be really helpful if you provided a ZIP with just these four files and a README.txt. Some of us like to know what's going on, rather than trusting an install kit, however trustworthy the source of that kit may be. Besides, my /home is noexec, placing executables in my ~/.tremulous dir is useless (just goes to show one size does not fit all).
-
putting the executable in ~/.tremulous is a bad idea anyway, and there *is* a zip (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tremulous/tremulous-gpp1.zip?download) with just the binaries and paks for those who know what they're doing.
