I am having trouble installing the game Unreal Tournament 2004!!! I am a very new to Suse Pro 9.1 and I have no idea how to do this. Would someone be willing to assist me in this please????
First, you have to have 3D acceleration working via drivers that you have installed for your video card. If that is working, then this link will help. It is very simple.
here is how I went about the actual install in SuSE 9.1 pro:
1. insert install disk 1 in your computer and copy "linux-installer.sh" onto your hard drive
2. open a terminal window and su into root
3. manually unmount your CD
4. click on the copy of "linux-installer.sh" thats on your hard drive, that should start the installer
5. when it asks for disk 2 go back to your terminal and manually unmount the disk
6. insert the next disk and manually mount it in the terminal repeat until the install is done
7. WHEN THE INSTALL IS FINISHED: unmount the disk in terminal and restart your computer, it should work withoutrestarting but I've had it cause
SuSE to stop recognizing the CD ROM dive without restarting, this seems to be caused by SuSE's auto mounter so I would reccomend
restarting just to be safe.
8. Install the latest patch off of the internet, without it UT2004 will crash after a short while of playing, the patch is setup so that you just need to
unpack it and then drag the files into the appropriate UT2004 folder.
9. start up the game and enjoy
if you have any other issues let me know and I'll try to get back as quick as possable.
Yes I have the latest nvidia drivers 1.0-6111 with 3d enabled
I am a newbie to linux as it has taken me roughly 6 weeks to get the nvidia drivers installed, and now i am trying to play the latest and greatest games that run in linux as I believe they will perform better in linux than in that other rubbish you know that xp garbage....
To mount CD's in root open up a command console then type in "su -" you will be propted to enter your root password after you are logged into root type the following to unmount the disk:
"umount /dev/cdrecorder" -for a CD-rw drive or a DVD/CD-rw drive
"umount /dev/cdrom" -for a regular CD drive
then to mount the next disk type the following:
"mount /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder" -for a CD-rw or DVD/CD-rw drive
"mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom" -for a regular CD drive
(these should be the exact commands you need to use but since I don't have a regular CD drive I'm not certain on that one)
The commands break down as follows:
in the case of: umount /dev/cdrecorder
umount = Command
/dev/cdrecorder = device you want to apply the command to.
in the case of: mount /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder
mount = Command
/dev/cdrecorder = device you want to apply the command to.
/media/cdrecorder = Where you want the device mounted
Hope this helps you out, if not let us know where your having issues and well try to help you out.
