How do Iinstall Quake 3 linux demo?
Hello,
I have downloaded the Quake 3 Linux demo, but I don't know how to install it. I am using Ubuntu 7.4 feisty. The file is called: linuxq3ademo-1[1].11-6.x86.gz.sh It's in my home folder. I use sudo for root access. |
try this in the same folder as the above file, and let us know if it works
Code:
$ sh linuxq3ademo-1[1].11-6.x86.gz.sh Code:
$ su |
That looks like a shell script. The first thing I would do is look for a readme or instructions where you downloaded the file. To execute shell scripts you can use these.
Code:
./scriptname.sh Good luck. ;-) |
I am sorry for the late response but the pc apears to be more or less dead right now (from a hardware point of view). When it is repaired I will got back to you on this.

We found out the SounbBlaster was dead. We removed it from the box and it booted the BIOS. Anything beyond the bios was pretty impossible so I changed the BIOS to safe defaults and we got... nothing. Probably nothing on the hdd? Wierd... So we slammed in the Ubuntu disk and it froze at the new ini screen. Okay, maybe the latest Fedora then? "Block error" times infinity. So we removed the hdd and still it gives us block errors. "sr0" seems to refuse to work. What is sr? |

With all of that new hardware, I'd suggest going through the bios very carefully and ensuring all settings are correct, and all drives, devices are recognized. Good luck. ;-) |

We had a lot of trouble with IDE cabel configuration. The cabels are like bended a thousand times and one of them is a very old cable that doesn't have as much wires as newer ones. For that reason we plugged the hdd to the cabel with more wires as primary master and the cd-drive to the cabel with fewer wires under secondary master (jumpers are set correctly to master). Unfortunately the box is at a friend of mine and he has plans for the weekend so I have to wait at least for monday to work on the pc. I'll keep you informed if we make any progress :) |
Old shoddy cables can cause the same types of problems, however, if everything is getting recognized in bios that suggests the cables are fine.
Whenever I make hardware changes, especially to the extent that you have, I (usually) go through all the components on the mobo and double check that everything is seated correctly and securely even things I haven't touched. I also walk through all of my bios settings to check that everything is good there. Quote:

Still nothing....
I plugged in a new IDE cable for the cdrom and I still keep getting sr0 errors :S.
Update: Ubuntu however is now bootable. In Fedora I keep getting something like "Buffer I/O error block: xxxxxxx". The Fedora disk is probably just corrupted. When I select "Check disk integrity for errors" or something like that it boots the Linux kernel and right after that I get the block errors so the disk utility doesn't even have a chance to start. |
