Linux Linux & Gaming

From the article I linked to:

Code:

/mnt/cdrom/linux_installer.sh

Replace /mnt/cdrom/ with wherever the CD is mounted (in Ubuntu I think it's /media/cdrom/)

That should pop-up a graphical installer.

 

if you are using a ubuntu or debian based system you need to add sudo infront of the SH command. as some installers need root access to make and copy some of the files and folders.

 

Score 1 for the CD change prompt- I could not eject the CD! Push the button on the drive, nothing. Demand that Ubuntu release the CD- "were sorry, that device is busy right now, please try again later".

Oh while, I can at least frag with UT 2004 on my Windows XP PC, and I'm really starting to hate Ubuntu.

thats probably becuase the drive hasn't been unmounted yet. try either unmounting through the console, or right click on the cd icon and select eject. if that doesn't work then i would upgrade to the l;atest version 5.10 or try a different distro

 

Try sudo sh linux_installer.sh
If that doesn't work, or pops up some weird error, the permissions may be set incorrectly:

sudo chmod +x linux_installer.sh

Hopefully that'll work.
Make sure you have the correct packages installed in Synaptic (or whatever package manager you use) though.

 

lcdguy- I did right click on the CD and select eject, and that is when it complained. I closed the UT 04 installer, and I could eject the CD. . . I want KDE back and I think I best look for a different distro, Kubuntu didn't do it for me.
