i have ubuntu 5.12 and zenwalk i wanna know how to install unreal tournament. May someone plz help me out. thamnx in advance

Download the installer from here. Make sure you've got the UT CD in the drive and type 'sh unreal.tournament*.run' in a command prompt in whatever directory you put the installer.

Job's a good 'un.

are you talking about UT2004? in that case, the installer is on the DVD itself. it was a .run file i remember and i just ran it in the console and it installed.

I was recently having a heck of a time trying to install UT on my Ubuntu Breezy notebook. However, now I have it running.
My problem was that the .run script (ut-install-436-GOTY.run) did not ask me for the CD, and just hung there. After fighting for the better part of the day, I found that when I put the CD in the drive, the CDROM mounted as /media/cdrom0. The install script does recognize some environment variables set ahead of time.

1) su -
2) export DISPLAY=:0.0
3) export SETUP_CDROM=/media/cdrom0
4) bash ut-install-436-GOTY.run
5) Answer onscreen prompts

If I didn't have the SETUP_CDROM put in, the script just hung there. Didn't matter if the CDRom was previously mounted or not.


Hope that helps you (and anyone else)!

You might also find this script handy. It converts downloaded files into proper ones so you dont need to redownload every time

well, i followed all the info here and i go through the GOTY blue screen commands. when i get to the do you want to mount the cd? i say yes but it won't go forward. it keeps flipping back to no. EVEN though the cd is actually mounted. i'm almost there---what do i need to change---? thanks

You might need to mount cd first (as root probably) and you did point SETUP_CDROM to your cd mount point? (although I never had to that tbh)

well, it showed mounted when i put the cd in.....can't say i put it in root at that point. bear with me, i'm trying to load both 2004 and 99 similtaneously. i'm having UT withdrawals in linux.....

1) copy linux-installer.sh from CD#1 to your home/user/ directory
2) as root, unmount your CD-ROM or DVD drive. (umount /mnt/cdrom)
3) as root, type: export SETUP_CDROM=/mnt/cdrom (or wherever your CDROM/DVD is)
4) run the linux-installer.sh from your /home/user directory
5) when it asks for CD#2, insert CD2 and click OK. If it doesn't work, then mount /mnt/cdrom and click ok

NOTE: I use SuSE 10 and my DVD drive is actually mounted in /media/dvdrecorder

thanks Micro, that appears a good method. i eventually got UT2004 installed. problem is the video drivers. i still haven't figured that part out. although UT comes up it's like in very slow motion and totally unplayable. i need to figure out how to load the latest drivers. i've been told they work with my card......! i am also looking at getting a newer vid card when i get a coupla bucks....

ok---i finally got UT2004 playable in Linux. i went in the OS Config in Mepis and THIS TIME it loaded the 1.7.4 Nvidia drivers. after checking they were in the control panel i played UT for the first time in 2 months......geeeez, what a long strange trip it's been.

Ok, what update do i need from there that will work in Linux? it keeps telling me "update available".
