How do I get the new client?
« on: June 10, 2008, 04:46:03 am »
Hello there kind people of trem.net.

I am running.
- Ubuntu 8.04 with Gnome Version: 2.22.2

When I enter a game, a message appears. Something in the lines of "Your client is outdated get a new one idiot". But here's the thing. I have no clue how to get a new client. I read in another thread that the one in the package manager thing is never up to date... so how can I get this new client?
I don't know how to compile or code or make good pasta. So I don't know what to do.

TJW's has a new client on his site at http://trem.tjw.org/backport/linux/tremulous.x86 (right click and save-as, the mime-types look fubar)
Replace that file over the current tremulous.x86 you have, I think ubuntu stick it somewhere retarded like /usr/lib/tremulous or something.

If you click the 'show more details' it will say something to the tune of permission denied.
Only root can write there for security reasons.
from the command line you can use sudo to run a command as root, not sure what the ubuntu way is though.

I'm pretty sure you could use sudo cp PATH_TO_NEW_TREMULOUS /usr/lib/tremulous.
