Go to terminal and enter this:

cd /path/where/the/file
sudo sh file.run

If you wanna sound in game you must enter this every time you restart computer :

sudo chown username /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss

Maybe you don't have an OpenGL installed ?

If you use Automatix select NVIDIA or ATI drivers to install.

Or go http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Graphics_Driver_.28NVID IA.29 (If Nvidia)
If ATI go to add remove programs, and select ATI driver and follow instructions

I am trying to install the game but I keep getting:

When I put in my password I get the same errors. It doesn't seem to matter whether I enter a password or not - I get the same error. And I cannot find the libgtk-1.2.so.0 file. Any help would be appreciated. :)

you can't really install it through sudo.

the best way is as a super user.

sudo bash
passwd

that will allow you to set up a root password. Then su will work as it is supposed to.

I strongly recommend using this (http://www.katanoon.nl/ubu-e/install.php) (http://www.katanoon.nl/ubu-e/install.php) guide. It insures that you properly install and run ET as stable as possible in no time. Their directions are very concise, straight and to the point.

Super user - Is that the log on name and password? I thought it was because any time I want to do something that requires root it asks for the password; i.e. Synaptic Package Manager, etc. Or is super user another setup?

Super User is root, and I don't suggest doing that. Did you read kiddvenom's post?
