Title: Synaptic problems.
Post by: pharo212 on January 13, 2008, 05:02:51 pm

I used the synaptic package manager to install tremulous, and now I can't seem to find any of the tremulous folders used to modify the HUD, or anything else. Also, when I log in to a server, it says my client is out of date. Is there anything I'm doing wrong, and how can I fix this?

Uninstall it from synaptic. Use the official installer. It installs to /usr/local/games/.

Debian installs Trem to /usr/share/games/tremulous/. If you still can't find your trem do $>updatedb (as root) and then $>locate tremulous.

yes, but all thats there is a tremulous.exe file, no Base folder or any way to modify the hud. Also the official installer doesn't  work. It pops up a blank screen that says "Checking archive validity" which then disapears.  Nevermind. Found it in, unexpectedly, usr/share/games/tremulous/

Run the official installer from the commandline.

Search in forums for GUID Client or TJW backport

No errors, It just flashes a screen that says "Checking archive validity" and then stops.
Wait, also, while I was downloading, two files appeared on my desktop, but when it finished, one was gone.

No, I mean what errors occur from the commandline?

One was probably a temp/part file. Wouldn't worry about that.. what command exactly are you running.

Execute it with this:

Code: [Select]

sudo sh tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run

I believe I've installed it just doing

Code: [Select]

sudo tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run
But I would avoid using synaptic
