im very new to linux, just started using it yesterday. Im running Fedora version. I have ut2004 DVD version. When i double click the linux-installer.sh, nothing happens. so i copied it to the hard drive, and ran ./linux-installer.sh. the installation starts, but when it gets to install, it ask to mount the cd, but the cd is in. what do i do?

i took some screen shots.

You're probably using some stupid auto-mounter. Try mounting the cd manually.

how do you mount manually?

At the shell prompt, type "mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom"
Should see a message that says to the effect "mounted /dev/cdrom read-only"
Start your install
When complete type "umount /dev/cdrom"
Then "eject /dev/cdrom"
And the disc should pop out. Please be aware that all the previous comands go in without the quotes and you may need to replace the /dev/cdrom & /mnt/cdrom with what is appropriate for your machine and install. Check /etc/fstab to make sure.

heres whats in that file. now what do i do?



ss3

heres one of me trying to mount.
ss4

i noticed that when its asking me to mount the cd (from ss2), that in the terminal its saying this

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

It looks like whatever automounter you're using is hogging the drive. I don't recognize the window manager, is that GNOME or what?

AFAIK, gnome and kde use some fancy supermount thing-a-ma-jig to automount. I don't use kde/gnome or automounters so I don't know how to disable it (other than finding out which process it is and killing it).

Try unmounting it first, then remounting it.

If that doesn't work, one thing you could do is start X without your window manager. Your display manager (kdm/gdm?) should have a failsafe option to start just an xterm. You could use that to run the installer.

Before you do that though, look through whatever docs you have for your wm/desktop to see if it mentions how to disable the automounter.

ok i finally got it installed. i ran the installer from the cd using sh linux-installer.sh. now im trying to get my video drivers installed. i have a Radeon Xpress 200 Series. I downloaded a file that i think is the right file for what i need. at the end of the install this is what i get, and i dont know what to do. in the display it doesnt have ati at all for my display card after the install.

Then, finally is running finally UT2K4?

I install it on my linux and I love to play it. I have a nvidia card but before install UT. I installed the video card property. I dont know who it works the ATI driver installation. In mi case it was not to much difficult.

If Im not wrong. You should do the what the screenshot said.

1) Save your x windows configuration file, my distribution is slackware not sure if is the same but should be something like:

use the root account and then:

#cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/

2) Then use in a console window:
#fglrxconfig

If someone has experience with the ATI drive, please post how to install that driver.
I whish you install the right driver.

i have installed the driver, but the mouse doesn´t work then, when i fix it i advise you ok?

You just need to edit the configuration file for the Xwindows:

edit the file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf


search for the mouse configuration and just add this line <<<<<<<:

#USB mouse
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
EndSection

with that the wheel should work.

ok, i'll try it and post here if it works
