Error installing ET on a Linux box

(Fraggawuff) #1

When I try to decompress the .run file using sh, I get the following error:

Uncompressing Enemy Territory 2.56…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…Extraction failed.
.Signal caught, cleaning up

Any ideas on what I should do?

It could be because of the following, your /tmp directory is too small so the contents don’t get extracted, you could solve that by using the --target option and point to a directory which has access to more space. example sh et* --target /home/someuser/ettemp

Good luck

Pardon my mistake, but when he says “Linux Box” in the title, I thought he meant “X-box”.

(chr0nicles) #10

Basically the x-box is just a small PC. I’m having fun with some games of my mame collection on the X-box ;))

Pardon my mistake, but when he says “Linux Box” in the title, I thought he meant “X-box”.

And that makes you mistake better how?

(puubert) #12

It doesn’t, I’m just explaing how I made the mistake. I’ve never heard of a Linux Box before. Linux is an OS if I’m not mistaken, not a machine.

A box is slang for a PC. Eg I have a box running knoppix and a box running xp. = My 2 pcs.

i have one PC, with duel boot, WinXP and Linux RedHat

Erm, box is slang for a computer, even if it isn’t a PC. EG, that Sun box in the corner, or that SGI box that we dropped of the back of the pickup truck.
