can' install the game (ubuntu 10.04)
« on: June 18, 2010, 01:33:02 pm »
so i  really want to play the game but i have a problem first off i installed the game through the software center and apparently it doesn't have all the files needed so i downloaded the installer from the web site and everything is fine until i need to choose the path so i choose it and it gives me no permission to write into XXXXX(the path) so how do i give the installer a fucking permission

a screenshot of the problem:

chmod -r u+w ~/Games/Tremulous (assuming you own the file)
chmod -r g+w ~/Games/Tremulous (if for some odd reason you don't own the file in your home directory)

If that doesn't work try running the installer as root (with sudo). You should be able to do so as a user since the install path is in ~, but if it is trying to place an executable in /usr/bin for instance, you'll need the additional privileges.

It needs to be -R not -r.

You entered a path of ./Games/Whatever, I'm guessing you didn't run the installer from your home dir so that folder doesn't exist.  Enter an absolute path and see what happens.

you missed listing the files

ok..... now to try to solve this

to install system-wide you will need to be root to do this go
Code: [Select]
su -type in your password and run the installer as normal keeping all the defaults

No, it doesn't.

Try: /home/your_user_name/Games/Tremulous

(replace /home/your_user_name by your home directory).

Do you want tremulous 1.1 or 1.2?

If you want 1.2, you need to first install 1.1 then 1.2.
