Author Topic: Odd error after installing TJW backport (Read 6680 times)

d81 · « **on:** July 18, 2009, 01:50:41 am »

I installed Trem on my new Ubuntu Jaunty machine through Synaptic.
I got the TJW backport and put it in the right place (like last time, like always...) but this time I am getting an odd error:

Code: [Select]

d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$ ls
tremulous  tremulous.old
d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$ tremulous
exec: 32: /usr/lib/tremulous/tremulous: not found

What's up? Trem runs fine when I use the stock installation from Synaptic. Complete un/re-installs (manual and automated alike) give me the same result every time.

chmod +x tremulous

d81 · « **Reply #2 on:** July 18, 2009, 02:22:05 am »

I did that. I have used both the command line (chmod) and the gui (via gksu nautilus command).

Code: [Select]

d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$ sudo chmod +x tremulous
[sudo] password for d81: 
d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$ tremulous
exec: 32: /usr/lib/tremulous/tremulous: not found
d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$

Does the filename have a space or anything attached to it?
Try deleting and recreating it, and also see if directly running /usr/lib/tremulous/tremulous works.
Also do you have permission to run it?

d81 · « **Reply #4 on:** July 18, 2009, 02:54:37 pm »

I recreated the file from scratch:

Code: [Select]

d81@deck:/$ cd usr/lib/tremulous
d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$ ls
tremulous
d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$ sudo mv tremulous tremulous.old
d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$ sudo cp /home/d81/Desktop/tremulous.x86 tremulous
d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$ ls
tremulous  tremulous.old
d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$ sudo chmod a+x tremulous
d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$ ls
tremulous  tremulous.old
d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$ tremulous
exec: 32: /usr/lib/tremulous/tremulous: not found
d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$ 
d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$ /usr/lib/tremulous/tremulous
bash: /usr/lib/tremulous/tremulous: No such file or directory
d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$

David · « **Reply #5 on:** July 18, 2009, 03:40:03 pm »

try chmod a+rx tremulous.

Isn't he running the command in the user home since he only uses sudo?

So, if he doesn't use ./ he will not execute the command chmod in the current directory.

@d81

Please use ls with the ls -l option

ls -l ./

in the dir:

/usr/lib/tremulous

no, sudo temporarily grants root privs to your user in the current working directory. you're thinking of sudo su - which spawns an actual root `login shell'.
there is absolutely no need to use ls -l ./, the ./ is entirely extraneous

run cat /usr/bin/tremulous, and post it here. it also might be incorrect permissions as stated by david. try sudo chmod 755 tremulous (which gives world readable/executable bits)

It could be a bad symlink, do ls -l /usr/bin/tremulous to see if it is a symlink and then check that the link target exists.

David · « **Reply #10 on:** July 19, 2009, 01:56:54 pm »

it's not a symlink, it's a script that calls it via exec on line 32.

cat `which tremulous`

d81 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 19, 2009, 03:31:45 pm »

This is getting weird. It's like I copied a ghost into that folder that I can see but the computer cannot!

Code: [Select]

d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$ cat `which tremulous`
#!/bin/sh

BINARY="/usr/lib/tremulous/tremulous"
BASE_PATH="/usr/share/games/tremulous"
QUIET=0

# Tremulous binaries don't understand "regular" command line parameters. Let's
# catch them here, to avoid accidently launching the binary.

while [ "$1" != "" ]; do {
	if [ "$1" = "+set" -o "$1" = "+connect" ]; then
		break;
	fi
	case "$1" in
		-h|--help)
			echo -e ${EXCUSE}
			exit 0
			;;
		-q|--quiet)
			QUIET=1
			;;
	esac
	shift
}; done

# Ready to rumble!

if [ ${QUIET} -eq 1 ]; then
	exec ${BINARY} +set fs_basepath ${BASE_PATH} +set ttycon 0 $* >/dev/null 2>&1
else
	exec ${BINARY} +set fs_basepath ${BASE_PATH} $*
fi

exit $?
d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$

and

Code: [Select]

d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$ ls -l /usr/lib/tremulous
total 2996
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1361996 2009-07-18 10:09 tremulous
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1694840 2008-09-06 11:57 tremulous.old

d81 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 19, 2009, 04:27:57 pm »

Ok, so line 32 (from the result of cat 'which tremulous') is this:
(line 32) exec ${BINARY} +set fs_basepath ${BASE_PATH} $*

And BASE_PATH is set earlier like this:
BASE_PATH="/usr/share/games/tremulous"

And when I follow that "base path" I find that there is a folder called "base" in that path:
d81@deck:/usr/share/games/tremulous$ ls
base

So.

Hmm, that looks exactly like the size of the amd64 binary on my Ubuntu box, do you have all the required libs installed to run the 32 bit binary ?
Try "ldd /usr/lib/tremulous/tremulous" or install a 64-bit client.

d81 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 19, 2009, 05:22:41 pm »

I my executable came from http://trem.tjw.org/backport/linux/ and I renamed it from temulous.x86 to just tremulous. The tremulous.old is the default, outdated executable.

Code: [Select]

d81@deck:/usr/lib/tremulous$ ldd /usr/lib/tremulous/tremulous
	not a dynamic executable

David · « **Reply #16 on:** July 19, 2009, 05:27:19 pm »

Maybe try a more up to date client, like: http://releases.mercenariesguild.net/client/

d81 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 19, 2009, 06:11:04 pm »

Why wouldn't cut/paste work on TJW? It should be so simple! I am skeptical...

gimhael · « **Reply #18 on:** July 19, 2009, 07:07:06 pm »

aptitude install ia32-libs-sdl

David · « **Reply #19 on:** July 19, 2009, 07:09:07 pm »

Surely if it was a libs problem then it would have a different error? And ldd would have recognised it?

And I suggested a different client as I'm all out of other ideas.

64 bit ldd doesn't produce sane output for elf32 binaries. you'll need to install 32 bit libsdl and libgl or use the client davidsev linked

The MG client worked. I have no idea why, or why TJW didn't, but oh well. Thanks for all your help!
