UT2003

Its about the third attempt in a few moths i have attempted to install it and everytime I have faled. So i'm giving it another shot. The problems is this.

I have copied the linux_in.sh file from the 3rd cd to the desktop and run it from there, when i do it starts the install procedure and the halts and gives the error.

mounted device /dev/cdroms/cdrom0
mount: no medium found
unmounting device /dev/cdroms/cdrom0

I am certain cdrom0 is the correct device and that is the drive the media is in, when it is mounted I can browse through the cd yet UT fails to see its there.

I then searched about and found that i may need to login as root and do the following.

export SETUP_CDROM=/mnt/dvd-rom
sh linux_in.sh

witch i did and gave me the following erros.

bash-2.05b# sh linux_in.sh
Copying to a temporary location...
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Unreal Tournament 2003 for GNU/Linux 2107......................................................................
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

No UI drivers available
./setup.sh: line 214: 1655 Segmentation fault "$setup" "$@"
The setup program seems to have failed on x86/glibc-2.1

Fatal error, no tech support email configured in this setup
The program returned an error code (1)
bash-2.05b#

So as you can see im really stuck and a little confused as im pretty new to the whole linux environment, any help would be appreciated.

You're logged on the the X server as yourself, but trying to start an X app as root. Only one user can use each display at one time.

Install UT2k3 as a user & this problem should go away. Set the folder permissions you want before hand if you don't want the game installed to your /home directory.

Or...

Have you tried to su and install from X or from prompt?

Joilet extensions (!!!!)

<edit>
To elaborate, you will get nowhere till you have them in your kernel. Get them fixed first or the installer won't work even when you do eventually get it running

I had a problem installing as root, and had to install as a user. There will be problem once installed, since the game wants to download stuff, and touch files in the install dir to be able to play it. If you install as root, the user won't be able to do this.

You can get rid of the :0.0 problem in X pretty easily. Actualy X will let any amount of different users connect to it, but the default it only the user which started X can open a window. You can change this by stating 'xhost +' in your profile, or on a connand line. Actually 'xhost +localhost' is better then only windows from that local machine can get opened, instead of computers opening windows from anywhere on the internet on your machine.

If you install as your user account then you have a problem if you want other user to be able to run the install. But I think if you set 'umask 002' before the install, then other people in your group will be able to write to the install, and that will fix that. Don't know how many users you have on your machine.

No,

linux_in = 8 characters, longest possible with no Joilet extensions.

The full file name should be linux_installer.sh ...

Oh yeah I never noticed that, time to recompile the kernel then. Now lets see if I can remember how.....

Whilst im at it is there much advantage on changing the kernel to the latest im using kernel version 2.4 iirc.

Hope this helps. The way I install is.

First, I open a console in KDE and su root. Then I do

Man, you all love doing it the hard way.

1) Sort out your Joliet extensions in your kernel and boot to it.
2) Insert and mount UT2k3 CD1
3) As root:

When emerging make sure that your CD is mounted at /cdrom of course...

alright guys i just recompiled the kernel with "microsoft joilet cdrom extensions" compiled in but the file on the cd-rom is still showing up as linux_in.sh

What am I doing wrong here, I renemed the old kernel bzImageold and copied the new one as bzImage so it should boot the new kernel and no t the old one

Alright guys, the correct kernel is in place I think but joilet is still not showing up, I noticed on boot there was an error about bzImage but I couldnt read it quick enough, does anyone know where the logs for boot time are stored? I have looked through /var/lib and could find anything realiting to the kernel image ut I probably missed it as im not too sure where to look. :oops:

using X as root:

ssh root@localhost -X

has to be activated of course, but then you can use the loki-installer which is what i always do. it's better than the ebuilds i think.

So while everyone is trying to figure out how to use the official installer, I WANT TO USE PORTAGE! (some may smile, others may not ...) but here's the issue. When I insert the cd and mount it (haven't figured out how to get supermount to work yet

) and then emerge ut2003 I get this:

... and make sure you _are_ mounted at /mnt/cdrom of course

I've never had a problem with the CD-Key, thankfully. I emerged ut2003, and it ran great. Deal is, the updater doesn't work, and the game is nothing without the updates. When I run updater, it tells me I'm not the one that installed ut2003. So I try to run linux_installer.sh after unmerging ut2003, and I get this:

bash: ./linux_installer.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

How in the name of God can sh be a bad interpreter for an sh file?

**EDIT: I ran it with bash rather than sh, and it works great! Odd.. so if you run into this problem, you know what to do
