UT 2k4 Linux DVD

[legacy-ninjaz]

I just installed FC3 on my computer and installed the latest NVidia dirvers along with all of the necessary updates to the OS (running 2.6.9). I have a Plextor DVD burner that I'm using to try and install my game on. I am able to mount the drive and cd into the directory. I am able to run the installer GUI and enter in my cd key, it then starts the install of the game and stops and asks for the "play" disc to be inserted and gives me an option to click yes or no to whether or not I have insterted the disc. I click yes since the disc is in the drive and then in the console window I see that it says that there is no disc to be mounted and then asks me to insert the "play" disc again.

Any suggestions???

I'm running FC 3 and the DVD version of UT2004. My initial suspicion was that you were perhaps running the wrong installer, but after looking at my DVD, there's only the one installer.

I know that I did have similar problems when my DVD player was not reading the disc properly (swapping drives with another machine fixed that problem).

Other than that I'd be pulling straws. You're not running a windows installer via wine, or a dodgey pirated DVD made by burning all of the CDs onto one disc (if you are, best not to answer that one)?

I am having the same problem and i have 2 dvd drives in my system and tried them both, i guess i could try cleaning the lenses if you think they aren't reading correctly, but aside from that. any other ideas?

[legacy-Cheeseness]

Beware of those lens cleaning discs. In my experience, they knock the lens out of alignment more often than they clean it.

It really sounds like its having trouble reading from the disc.

I got it to install now, the command that you have to use is:
export SETUP_CDROM=/path/to/cdrom

But now I'm getting this error:
WARNING: ALC_EXT_capture is subject to change!
Xlib: extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0".
Either GL_EXT_bgra or glDrawRangeElements not supported- bailing out.

History:

Exiting due to error
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By looking around I have found that its due to the Xi Graphics not being in the x11 config file but thats all that I can find so Im drawing another blank here.

Thanks

[legacy-Cheeseness]

The ALC_EXT_capture warning is normal. I believe it's to do with the sound recording device used for the in game voice chat (that said, I don't get it since I moved to Fedora 3). I also used to get the XiG error, and that disappeared too when I moved to Fedora 3 and got the latest ATi drivers. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with nVidia cards and linux, so I can't help there.

[legacy-eagle.f15]

what makes you think i'd use a lense cleaner, cd/dvd roms do come appart :) a drop of alcohol on a q-tip works very well :) fyi, don't try this at home, i am a trained professional

[legacy-eagle.f15]

oh yeah ninjaz, that export worked, not a read prob then, more of a path type prob

The XiG thing is normal. However, it looks like you did not modify your xorg.conf file properly. The nVidia documentation goes over that (Remove the lines referring to GLCore and dri, add one for glx), but if you still have trouble then go ahead and post your config file somewhere so we can take a look.

Something is missing... I did glxinfo on my machine and I do have GL_EXT_bgra. It looks like you don't.

[legacy-ninjaz]

Well the only thing that I noticed was that it said no for the direct rendering.

Hi,

Old Thread but same problem:

Gentoo Linux

***@*** *** $ export SETUP_CDROM=/mnt/dvd/
***@*** *** $ /mnt/dvd/linux-installer.sh
Copying to a temporary location...
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

What can i do now? Why does it want to unmount hda1? My first mounted partition is hda8 :'-(

Are you doing this as root?

root makes the same problem - it asks to get the CD ... :-7

Someone knows something to help me? :cry:

[legacy-ninjaz]

I think there is something really wrong with your install of the distro! The cd is probably looking for hda1 because thats where the OS should be installed at and not hda8. You might want to jump onto irc and go to a #gentoo channel to talk with someone and make sure that everything is where its supposed to be before you go any further. Thats about as much help as im going to be good for because I have never installed Gentoo nor do I know anyone who has used it to ask. Sorry
