Quake Wars and Linux

[DSVirus]

Hello everyone!
I’ve played ETQW on Windows XP and 7 successfully.

I’ve tried since Ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu 10.10 64bit to run ETQW. The game installs correctly and will log in and play offline. The game will even retrieve a lost account online. Unfortunately the game has “play Online” and “persistent stats” grayed out. I’m at a loss for what I can do to fix this. I’ve been googling for hours and nothing comes up.

Here is the terminal output:
sudo /usr/local/games/etqw/etqw.x86

my guess, but i’m no linux guy you error is on this.

found interface lo - loopback
found interface eth1 - 192.168.0.196/255.255.255.0

maybe wrong ip. No gateway.

[darthmob]

You did create an online account, though? I would guess that the buttons are greyed out if you create an offline account.

[light_sh4v0r]

What Darthmob said. Those buttons grey out when you’ve logged in to an offline account. Try creating a new online account (you’ll need your cd-key for that) and see what happens then.

[brbrbr]

XNV ? Generic SIMD ?
is you GFX driver okay ? GLX perfrom well ?
and you have all IA32 libs for ETQW ?

[Galatic]

I use xubuntu 10.10, its a derivative of ubuntu 10.10. Your log displays no errors, so it should work. Listen to the advise of darthmob.

But why start quake with the “SUDO” command. This is not necessary.

Here is my command to run quake: pasuspender ./etqw +set s_alsa_pcm plughw:0

I start with pasuspender because without it i get sound delays. The alsa_pcm suffix is to find the right soundcard.

Enjoy.

usually, in ETQW, “grayed out” options, mean offline player profile.
ie, w/o access to internet servers[both ranked and unranked].

[QUOTE=brbrbr;255375]usually, in ETQW, “grayed out” options, mean offline player profile.

way to repeat both darthmob and lightshavor.

[Crytiqal]

what aristotle quoted what brbrbr said what light_shavor said what darthmod said

[Susefreak]

No **** sherlock

[brbrbr]

“retrive lost online account”!=“use online account”.
ie
“player profile”!=“account type”, ie you can use[wonder what for]offline profile for online player, for example.
just delete you “Id Software” folder in your document and re-create ONLINE profile !!

[DSVirus]

I’m sorry I missed all the replies. Firstly, I’ve had an online account. It works just fine under my Window’s account. Using id’s install instructions, the only way the game would run is with Sudo.

maybe in year 2099 linux can be as bug free as win 3.1 ?

thats epic. why do i think, that edxot is retarded?

[edxot]

thats epic. why do i think, that edxot is retarded?

i dont know why. but i am sure many people think the same, so maybe you can ask them.

chmod 775 will do the trick

that was my first thought when i read his question.

but running etqw in superuser mode should be enough to bypass that problem, no ?

edit: dont bother to answer. that would work except if the file had been set as read only previously (by superuser).

[phoen1x]

I hope u downloaded and installed 1.5 patch? And update punkbuster. I don’t know for sure but i guess ubuntu has firewall turned on by default? U should check those settings.

forget this, i was thinking those stats were local. but they must be kept on-line.
