Problems with connecting somewhere on Linux

[Akel]

Don't expect anyone to be able to help me, but.. I can try my luck!

So.. On my Linux system, I click Play, click Get New List, at which point I get an up-to-date list, then try to join a server... It says "Awaiting gamestate", then it just sits there... nothing happens unless I exit with ESC. I disabled the firewall, still nothing. After I press ESC and check the server's info, I can see my name in there.. and if I try to connect again to the same server, it says I'm already connected, and throws me out.

On Windows, everything works perfectly. I can connect to any Internet server.
On Linux, creating a server and playing, works. Creating a dedicated server and connecting to it, works. Creating a dedicated server on another computer (different LAN, too) and connecting to it, works.
I then created a dedicated server on another remote computer, making sure I can reach it ONLY through my internet network interface, and made it public. I saw the name in the list, I tried connecting to it, and, to my surprise, it WORKED.

ANY other server except mine still didn't. Any suggestions on what else I could try?

[Howitzer]

What distribution do you have?
And what programs do you have running? (SELinux on Fedora could prevent you from playing for example.)

[Akel]

Mandriva 2006.

I have nothing running but the usual xfs, sshd, xinetd, and crond. Using E17 on X, so nothing from Gnome or KDE either. The rest are login prompts and terminals.

[Teiman]

Firewall?

[Akel]

I already said I disabled it...

Code: [Select]

/home/andrei> sudo service iptables stop
Resetting built-in chains to the default ACCEPT policy:         [  OK  ]
/home/andrei>

I too am experiencing this problem in linux.  I used a previous installation of Linux and have not a problem but now I am unable to connect to any quake iii games - quake iii, tremulous, enemy territory.  Other online games work fine on the internet so I'm not understanding what is happening.

[Caveman]

Given that you

..used a previous installation of Linux

It is quite clear that you are

... not understanding what is happening.

And you should either go back to Windows or start using google to read up on your Problem.

This is NOT tremulous related.

[Jazz]

That's really sad, but I've encountered same problem when installed Gentoo. And no solution I've found yet.
Played same games on openSUSE fine, where most of the things are built in kernel. Where can I get detailed list of ports/protocols which are used by tremulous and/or quake3?  Maybe something is not built-in.

Sorry for posting it here (if it is not tremulous related, just q3 engine), but I've googled a lot with no solution.

[TinMan]

Install "open arena" from source and you will have all the dependencies needed to run tremulous.

[jackForward]

And again it would be useful if we could see the tremulous error messages. So please run tremulous from within a console and post the output here.

[TinMan]

And again it would be useful if we could see the tremulous error messages. So please run tremulous from within a terminal and post the output here.

Fixed.

[David]

Why fixed?
Running it from a console would work too.
If you want to be pedantic as to what he would most likely be using, its a terminal emulator.

[TinMan]

Fixed because if he reads "console" he'll just run the game and open the console, if you're going to tell him to do that at least tell him that the command he will need to do is "/condump" to get the output to a text file.

The term terminal can cover all remote terminals and graphical interfaces, terminal "emulator" is not needed because of that.
Console doesn't leave boot loader, kernel, or init usually.

[Jazz]

Ebuild from http://www.trem-servers.com/index.php?page=downloads (also used game distro from official site, no difference)

I've checked openarena runtime/compile reqs, I have everything: opengl, openal, libsdl, libXext, libX11, libXau, libXdmcp.

[TinMan]

Hmmm...I could only tell you to check your ~/.tremulous and rename it or something to be sure it isn't reading odd files from there and to make sure that the library versions match up with what is needed to run tremulous, although I doubt that would be an issue.
