Title: hmmm, this is odd
Post by: c4 on June 09, 2011, 02:39:53 pm: I just installed trem on a new computer running Ubuntu 11.04.

When I run the application, the game tries to load 640x480 res though the laptop screen is 1366x768, but the game itself doesnt load, You just see a decreased screen-sized desktop, and can't click anything.

Halp thiz poor nooblet :<

EDIT: I got it to not freeze.

Post by: Celestial_Rage on June 09, 2011, 11:47:14 pm: Press CTRL-ALT-F[1-6], although it isn't necessary anymore if you got it to unfreeze. Also, do you have all the dependencies? Try installing from the repository and copy the GPP files manually.
Title: Re: hmmm, this is odd
Post by: c4 on June 10, 2011, 02:14:43 am: when I install from the repo, the files end up in a weird place where I can't really access them :/
Title: Re: hmmm, this is odd
Post by: Tremulant on June 10, 2011, 02:30:46 am: If you install from the repo you should then be able to run the game with the default client, it might be an idea just to make sure you're not screwing up somewhere. If you actually want to install GPP, you're better off just getting the zips and installing locally.

Post by: c4 on June 10, 2011, 03:04:28 am: which is what i did.
Title: Re: hmmm, this is odd
Post by: Celestial_Rage on June 10, 2011, 06:44:15 am: By default, Ubuntu (iirc) to /usr/share/games/tremulous and the launcher to /usr/games. The reason I asked you to install from the repo is that Tremulous has a dependency that needs to be downloaded before it installs. Just install it from the repo to get the dependency.

Post by: UniqPhoeniX on June 10, 2011, 07:12:42 am: It looks like you are running the SEGFAULT binary with 1.1 qvms (File "vm/ui.qvm" found in "./base/vms-1.1.0.pk3"). Make sure you install 1.1 (I recommend just getting the .zip), then gpp, then add the SEGFAULT client. The .pk3s which you seem to be missing are in the tremulous-gpp1.zip which is on the website, just extract it in your tremulous install dir (make sure the binaries end up next to 1.1 binaries and gpp/ next to base/ ).

Oh, so the console output you're sharing with us is wrong? I wouldn't expect the default ubuntu 1.1 client to be looking for a qkey or talking to itself about voip(that's not to say that it definitely doesn't, i just wouldn't expect it).

Just because it is ubuntu-related, how do you install without the terminal saying that the installation destination is read-only? I've tried as much as possible, even the desktop, documents... goes on... Is there another way to install tremulous other than terminal?

No idea of what you're talking about, but trem doesn't need to reside in /usr, /share, etc paths to run, if that is what you're asking.
There is indeed also a way called 'compiling from source'.
