[Earlie Cuyler]

What do I have to do to be able to play Quake 1 under Ubuntu?

How do I get the .pak files?

None of those are stand alone games, because quake is copyrighted. But if u have the old quake or even shareware u only need to copy the id direcotry i think was (the one wich has the.pak files). If u dont have it hmm there was a couple of guys who made a litle quake pak to play multiplayer, if i remember good, one was quake2000.

Hi. I'm a newb to Ubuntu and I'm also trying to get good old Quake 1 running. I did an apt-get for something from quakeforge, and that got me closer than previous attempts however, it still doesn't work. I have the pak.0 and pak.1 files from the full windows version.

The quake window pops up for a second then closes. Currently when I try to play, it fails out with a segmentation fault.

I've installed ubuntu on an old clunker of a laptop just to check it out. Specs are:

P3 600.
384 Ram
ATI Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x.

Below is the terminal output when I try to launch:
