Linux version 1.2 trem won't install
« on: December 07, 2009, 05:43:47 pm »
Ubuntu Karmic. Below is terminal output.

conzul@conzul-desktop:~$ sudo sh '/home/conzul/Documents/Downloaded Stuff/Games/Tremulous/tremulous-gpp1-installer.run'
[sudo] password for conzul:
/home/conzul/Documents/Downloaded Stuff/Games/Tremulous/tremulous-gpp1-installer.run: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
conzul@conzul-desktop:~$


It's annoying, cus I'm running the windows installer on WINE just so I don't miss out on the testing. Any help?

Ubuntu are retards who put a broken default shell in.

use bash instead of sh. (or just run it without the sh at all).

figured it out. you gotta chmod +x it so it's recognized as an executable. Odd

No, not odd.  You just have to tell your computer to let you execute the file.  proof

Lol the link you posted was the place I found myself to get it working. I like ubuntu, just wish they'd hide stuff like that (ala Windows).

Then use windows.

Seriously, if what windows then use windows.  Linux is not windows and trying to make it like windows will just result in a mess.  (AKA like ubuntu already is, but worse)

Try re-downloading the .run.  You can find more info here on checksums.
