I can't install any game with cvscedega

Hungry ghost · 02-14-2005, 07:10 AM

Hi, I was trying to install Enter the Matrix with cvscedega. The problem was when I was prompted to insert the second cd I inserted it, mounted, but the installer didn't read it. So I searched on a transgaming.org forum, and they say it could be solved by adding the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf :

vm.legacy_va_layout = 1

and executing: "sysctl -p". I did it, but now the installer hangs when loading the program, and the console sends this output:

Unknown or malformed query Part:auxv:read::0,187

When I press return, or any other key, the installer ends.
I tried removing the line added to /etc/sysctl.conf and executing "sysctl -p" again, but I get the same result. Does anyone know how to solve this problem and how to install games with multiple CD's??
Thanks in advance.

Well give this a shot...if it doesn't work I'll find another solution for you.

echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/legacy_va_layout
(that will run the legacy layout instantly)

Also you could try this...this has fixed a lot of multi-disc install games.

Code:

umount -l /dev/cdrom 
su 
[type superuser password] 
eject /dev/cdrom 
exit 
[insert next disc] 
mount /mnt/cdrom 
[click ok in the install prompt]

Ok, I edited /etc/sysctl, executed "/sbin/sysctl -p" and I also executed "echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/legacy_va_layout ", but now I'm getting this error:

What's wrong now, and what's next??

Snipersnest · 02-15-2005, 08:46 AM

Was that the WineX or Cedega CVS you tried? There is two if I remember correctly. Your saying WineX but your thread say Cedega...Also sometimes files on the CVS might be updated slowly and not compatible with the other files..sucks but I ran into that before. Thats why I broke down and paid the $15 just to get the RPM copy of it.

Hungry ghost · 02-15-2005, 03:17 PM

I'm using cvscedega, the cedega version downloaded via cvs. After I did what I say in my previous message, I can't even run the installation program, I mean, the installation wizard starts loading the installation program, and hangs at the of the loading. It's the same with Enter the Matrix and Star Wars-Jedi Academy. What could be happening??

Snipersnest · 02-16-2005, 06:47 AM

Well heres a link about Jedi Academy... http://transgaming.org/forum/viewtop...ht=jedi+knight

People have it running just fine, but they are talking about mounting options.. Not very much info listed.

Also I found this on the wikki

This game may need to be patched to the latest version for it to start correctly.
This game may hang when loading a level on ATI cards.

I still have nothing on the install hanging...Have you tried to fix all the Error 21 issues with FC3 yet?? I seriously had no more problems once I fixed all the steps in this link

Let me know..lol I can always use my subscription and get you some support on the Transgaming forums.

Hungry ghost · 02-16-2005, 08:32 AM

Ok, thanks. Well, I'll try fixing the error 21, and see what happens. If I have any problem I'll let you know.

Hungry ghost · 02-17-2005, 12:13 PM

Hi. Well, I had to reset all the configuration since the steps to solve error 21 didn't work. I tried installing Enter the Matrix, but when I'm prompted to insert the second cd I insert it, mount it, but it can't find it, the console says something like "opening /dev/hdb... permission denied". I tried to solve it by adding my self to group "disk" and changing the permissions of /dev/hdb so it can be readable and writeable by all the users and I got no result. Then I installed Clive Barker's Undying, which is a one cd game. The installation process went fine, and I can start it, but when I play it and enter a game, the game pauses inmediatly and I can't unpause it (I see the "Paused" message in the middle of the screen). What can be wrong and how to solve it?? also, how to solve the permission problem when installing Enter the Matrix??
Thanks in advance.

If you do a search for UT2004 or UT2003 in the forums here you should find a thread about me trying to install UT2003. It tries to install from floppy rather than CD. The code one guy gave me there should be used to posibably fix the CD problem your having, cause it looks like yours in simply trying to install from the hard drive rather than the CD.

Pausing in your other game may be a result of either the games its self and Cedega or posibably video issues. I saw something very similar with CS Source doing that. I can't really help you with that though at the moment.

Hungry ghost · 02-18-2005, 07:44 AM

Thanks, I searched for UT2004 installation and I fixed it by running "echo SETUP_CDROM=/media/cdrom" after mounting the first cd and before executing the setup.exe file. Also I fixed the error 21, and it worked this time. I was able to install Max Payne 2 and runs perfectly. I could install Star Wars, but when I try to run it , it hangs on the first splash screen; the output of cvscedega ends like this:

Wine-gdb> Hangup detected on fd 0
Error detected on fd 0
error detected on stdin

so, I guess it's looking for the floppy, instead of the cdrom. Maybe editing the drive section on the cedega config file can fix it. With Enter the Matrix, I could install from cd 1,2 and 3, but when I'm prompted to insert the 4th cd, it can't read it. (gonna look in the forums to see if there's a fix for this). Well, at least I can play Max Payne 2.
