whenever I try to change the settings in the game I  get

"cannot write to autogen.cfg" or something like that.

It should be trying to write to ~/.tremulous. See if you can cd into that directory.

Sounds like you installed tremulous NOT using the user you are trying to play trem with.

Did you install tremulous with sudo?

yeah

sudo sh ./tremulous

Edit:  Ok so here's how it works.  I install tremulous and then I log in for the first time and I don't get this glitch.  once I leave and log in again though I have the "Cannot write to autogen.cfg" error.

You don't need the ./ if you are running something with sh, though that isn't the problem here.

Run tremulous, quit, then copy/paste the ENTIRE terminal output here.

Dude! You NEVER EVER run ANY as root!!
/me slaps Studlut with the Linux-Handbook

Get your setup straight, deinstall the game at once and re-install it using your normal user WITHOUT sudo!

I installed with sudo with no problem.
it is, after all, a multi user system.
Sounds to me like the game isn't unlocking the autogen.cfg file when it quits.
Perhaps you are getting so use to flaming morons, you don't know how to help any more?
Its people like you who will scare away new people and cause the death of tremulous.
Any maps not in the MG repo?  Email me or come to irc.freenode.net/#mg.

Studlut, I'm sorry but my crystal ball has broken down. So could you PLEASE do it the good old way and post here your tremulous console output?
If my answer to your problem doesn't seem helpful, it means I won't help you until you show some effort to fix your problem yourself!

It should automatically create it if it does not exist. The problem lies elsewhere.

Right. But since the trem backlog does not give an error, this touch should tell us where the problem arises.

There is your problem...

You installed the game as root or using sudo. Then you startet the game as root and somehow that led to the wrong owner of the directories. chown them to musician:musician and you should be set.

If that is too much hassle, uninstall trem and install it as user musician and DON'T use sudo.

Caveman: He can install it as root(this is actually preferable if you have a multi-user system), but should run it as a normal user.
