Try downloading and installing Et 2.6..
See the wiki here for installation tips,including troubleshooting permissions
ie:
Permission Errors

Change the permission with this command:

sudo chmod +x et-linux-2.60.x86.run
sudo chmod +x et-linux-2.60-update.x86.run

It asks you to enter your root password...Just make sure you didn't enter your sudo password, hint: they are different, and you will have to set a root password because Ubuntu isn't Debian

how do i set a root password

[fordfan753]

Pop up a terminal, then simply type:
sudo passwd root
It'll ask you for a password, enter your sudo password, it will then ask for another password, this will be the one you want to set for the root account, then it'll ask you to confirm the root password.

I am pretty certain You do NOT need to do that to install ET....I can't remember doing it...I followed the wiki as per my last post...

You just need to type:

$ sudo sh et*run

You can hit "cancel" when asked for root password, the game will be installed in your home dir instead of /usr/local/games.
If you need/prefer you can still move there the enemy-territory dir by hand, after the install, or simply create a symlink to the executable.
