I recently switched to Ubuntu and am trying to install Trem. I have it downloaded to my desktop, and I try to install and get the following error:
Could not open the file /home/ubuntu/Desktop/tre...s-1.1.0-installer.x86.run.
gedit has not been able to detect the character coding.
Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file.
Select a character coding from the menu and try again
I tried the other font in the menu (there are only two) and get the same error.

open a terminal and cd to the folder where the installer is then type:
sudo sh ./tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run use tab completion to make sure you get the name right and give it the password when sudo asks you.
Ok I am a linux newbie what is sudo password if I didnt specify one?
sudo password is your password.
Correct.
However, you don't even need it in order to be able to install tremulous.
If you downloaded the file onto your desktop, just open a console, and type:
sh ~/Desktop/tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run
Correct, you can just install it in your home directory, instead of installing system-wide. Most of the time this is more convenient, but if you want to have multiple people using Tremulous, each with a different account, installing it system wide (IE, running it with sudo) is better.
Will that work in Mandriva 2009?
If tremulous works at all in Mandriva 2009, that will work.
there is no need for a manual install on most linux distributions. Just use your package manager and install it. HowTo for Ubuntu here >> http://linux.about.com/od/dist_ubuntu/a/ubgtremulous.htm
Do *not* install the debian/ubuntu tremulous-server package. It has security holes, and they are all getting hacked a lot.
In a terminal try:
sudo apt-get install tremulous
(or for non debian/ubuntu linux)
[admin_command] [install command(s)] tremulous
