UT Finally

[Laslo7]

Hey everyone, Just thought that I would pass along the good word that I can finally play UT in Linux. :D

Here's the specs:
Celeron 700
GeForce2 MX
256 Meg Ram
SuSE 7.1 w/2.4.0 kernel and XF86 4.0.3
Nvidia 1251 Driver

If you have SuSE and a Nvidia Card goto Evil3d (http://evil3d.net)

Good Luck

Congrats dude.

Hey everyone, Just thought that I would pass along the word that I still cannot get UT to run in linux.

I have tried running the setup program several times from both root and my user login. I have recieved errors before, now I just cannot start the game. I click on the UT icon and nothing happens, I go to the shell and cd to the UT directory and type UT and get command not found. I am getting frustrated.

I am using RedHat 7.1 and have fully supported hardware. My video is a Diamond Fusion (voodoo banshee). The install program I used is "UT-INSTALL-436-GOTY.RUN".

One other note, during the install, when the installer is converting the files, in the terminal window before each file conversion it says "Warning not using preference directory" (or something very simular to that). I do not know if that has anything to do with it but it did it during each install that I have done.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and anyone that can help me will be considered for knighthood (well maybe not, but I will be happy anyway).

may sound stupid, but you didn't specify.. are you sure you have the Game of the year edition of ut? If not, then you're using the wrong installer. Also, try this:

cd /usr/local/games/ut or your normal install path..

then type:
./ut

that might work, let us know how it turns out

Yes I have the GOTY edition. I had to install into /home/Michael/ut because the default directory /user/local/games for whatever reason is not set up for write privileges in my login.

I am going to start a new thread though, it is pretty rude of me to take over someone elses thread for my problems.

I'd like to add that I also got UT running thanks to Evil3d :D

How I do it is to install as root, so you KNOW you can write anywhere you want, and use all the default install paths. Then I 'chown' the /usr/local/games to my normal login, and make a desktop icon to start the game. It not only works, but it actually works better than the Win98 install I have.
