i have a problem to enjoy et on linux

(ExMe) #1

i’m afraid this is a right place or not…
i cant play and host et on an linux system

most of cases
it seems like everything goes ko until i try to connect a server
and then there is an error message. VM_create on cgame failed
and i can see

Sys_LoadDll(/root/.etwolf/etmain/ui.mp.i386.so)…
Sys_LoadDll(/root/.etwolf/etmain/ui.mp.i386.so) failed:
“/root/.etwolf/etmain/ui.mp.i386.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”

so i copied ui.mp.i386.so file from /et/etmain, but it still appears.

and sometimes
to execute et there is
Sound memory manager started
Sys_LoadDll(/root/.etwolf/etmain/ui.mp.i386.so)…
Sys_LoadDll(/root/.etwolf/etmain/ui.mp.i386.so) failed:
“/root/.etwolf/etmain/ui.mp.i386.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”
Sys_LoadDll(/usr/local/games/enemy-territory/etmain/ui.mp.i386.so)… ok
Sys_LoadDll(ui) found vmMain at 0x4ced8bfc
Sys_LoadDll(ui) succeeded!
Received signal 15, exiting…

and then go back to prompt

i cant do anything

i’m waiting for ur help.

This is strange, ET should generate these files on it’s own if it doesn’t find them. Try one of the following things:

  • try to delete those files, both in the ~/.etwolf directory and in the et main directory /usr/local/games/enemy-territory.
  • delete your entire ~/.etwolf directory.
  • if this doesn’t help, delete et and reinstall.

Also, it’s not a good idea to play as root. Install the game as root, but play as user (which you fortunately still can in Linux, unlike pb/windows).
