problem installing ut2003lnx_patch2225.tar.tar

[STORMPROOF]

Can anyone please tell me how to install this file



I have tried

tar xvf ut2003lnx_patch2225.tar.tar

and

tar -xzvf ut2003lnx_patch2225.tar.tar


Can anyone please help.

hmmm aren't the UT2003 patches in linux .sh files?

[Icarus]

Yup, and in that case...

sh /path/to/ut2003lnx_patch2225.tar.tar

[bwkaz]

And if that doesn't work:

file ut2003lnx_patch2225.tar.tar

to find out what it actually is.

[STORMPROOF]

I have tried the following
1
tar xvf ut2003lnx_patch2225.tar.tar
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
2
sh ut2003lnx_patch2225.tar.tar
ut2003lnx_patch2225.tar.tar: ut2003lnx_patch2225.tar.tar: cannot execute binary file
3
tar -xzvf ut2003lnx_patch2225.tar.tar
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
4
file ut2003lnx_patch2225.tar.tar
ut2003lnx_patch2225.tar.tar: bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k

It tells me that it is a bzip2 compressed file. I used the command of bzip2 -d and it just put a bzip2 extension on the file.

I have used rpms and tar files for about 6 months now however never seen a tar.tar file. All that I am trying to acomplish is install the latest UT update on my Game server.

There has to be a LInux Guru out there somewhere
Could some one kindly help, thanks

:D

Thanks for trying to help you guys however I found a easier way.

For those of you who run into this problem, there is a
loki_update file in the updater directory which is in the ut2003 directory where you installed the game.

Instead of downloading the latest patch from UT2003 website just run the automatic installer in the update directory. Just do the following to lauch the update gui installer.


sh loki_update

That is it!
:D

Let me know if anyone needs more details

[Lemming]

or just download the update through loki_update and get alot more mirrors, as I usually do:)
