Enemy Territory

[Jookia]

I have the linux version of enemy territory on my desktop, I've tried everything I could find, I get the /usr/local/bin or something permission denied error EVEN ON ROOT.

Your post is very vague. At the risk of sounding obvious, you must download the installer file (et-linux-2.55.x86.run). Then open a terminal, make sure you are in the same folder as the ".run" file, and enter this into a terminal to ensure it is executable:

chmod +x ./et-linux-2.55.x86.run

Then :

sudo ./et-linux-2.55.x86.run

The installer should run and if you keep everything at default, you should be golden.

NOTE: You should not run the game right away after installing. Close the installer first, then run the game either through the Applications menu or by running 'etwolf' in the terminal. Apparently, if you try to run the game right after installing, you will get permission errors. Maybe this is the root of your problem?

If something goes wrong, post the error message and maybe someone can help you from there.

I tried both, and it STILL gives me this..

Hmmm, if you ran the script as root (sudo), that is very strange. Have you tried installing it in your Home folder? When it asks you where to install, try entering:

/home/<yourUserName>/enemy-territory

Other than that, all I can imagine is maybe your installer was corrupted on download? Weird.

BTW, if you do install in your home directory, you'll have to start the game using the 'etwolf' binary file in the enemy-territory directory:

~/enemy-territory/etwolf

EDIT: According to this post, if you run the installer with this command, it may work:

su -c "./et-linux-2.60.x86.run"

Conversely, according to this thread, if you just hit 'cancel' when the installer asks for your password, it will automatically install the game to your home folder.

Good luck!

I've recorded an ogg file of me doing it to clean up any confusion.

I think an error flashed.

excuse me for not reading the entire post but your post reminded me of a comment ....

NOTE: It's important that you exit the installer window and do not press the installers play button. It will cause permission problems for Wolfenstein

I read on this website http://gaming.gwos.org/doku.php/guid...et_wolfenstein

Starting again and following these instructions to the tee might do it for you (it worked for me).Hope this helps.

The error you're getting is because you do not have gtk1.2 installed.

sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2

but my guess is that has more to do with the installer running in the terminal than it does with your permission errors.

I would say try the suggestions from my last post. If the "su -c etc...' command doesn't work, you may need to install it in your home folder. I'm not sure what else could be causing the problem, sorry.

Getting the lib thing worked perfectly.

On the other hand, it was sbin, not bin.

Could you please elaborate? Did installing the missing library fix your permission problems?

If the permissions issue is fixed, please explain how and mark the thread as [SOLVED] so others can benefit from the your experiences.
