Unreal Tournament install probs

I posted this in the General section but thought it may be a good idea to also post here:-

Hi Guys

Im getting an error when running "sh ut-install-436.run" saying that the CDROM must be mounted.

The CDROM is mounted, I can see all the files, I am using "mount /mnt/cdrom" but the error keeps coming up.

When I try to mount again it says " according to mtab, none is already mounted on /mnt/cdrom"

Im going around in circles with this can somebody please help.

Running Mandrake 9 BTW

Cheers

try umounting it:
umount /dev/cdrom
then mount it again:
mount /dev/cdrom

check your /etc/fstab and see if you got a cdrom entry there...

[Gwydyon]

mount point /cdrom does not exist

[Gwydyon]

Got this in fstab:-

none /mnt/cdrom

[Elijah]

try adding this in fstab:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
it's what I have in redhat.

try to mount it now after rebooting it.
If it still doesn't work, have a search of the forums or www.google.com/linux and check out 'mount' . I just ran out of suggestions :rolleyes:

same exact issue here.. arg

This problem can usually be solved by making sure
that iso 9660 cdrom file support is compiled in your kernel. If it is not you cannot install ut untill it is.
You will find it under the file header in your kernel
config menu.

I put this up fot ut2k3 but the problem sounds like it could be the same so it might be worth a try

Got it working in the end guys with:-

cd /
ln -sf /mnt/cdrom cdrom

You can then type mount /cdrom and the link works...

Still cant get UT to run though getting an error:-

Failed to load 'Entry': Can't find file 'Entry'
Failed to load 'Level None.MyLevel': Can't find file 'Entry'

Been searching on google but no joy yet.....

either you used the wrong installer (do you have UT:GOTY?) or you have an unsupported CD.

If you do have UT:GOTY, then I suggest you get the UT:GOTY installer (http://www.lokigames.com/products/ut/updates.php3). If you have a different CD, then head over to http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/#games and follow the instructions there. You'll have to scroll down a bit.

Firstly I used the wrong UT installer then used the GOTY one.

I have also tried UT2003 using the installer on disc 3 and that wont work either, there is a thread for that one.

Have the following line when entering glxinfo

direct rendering: No

Does RedHat have Joilet support in it's default kernel? Maybe not. I had similar problems and had to recompile my kernel to support Joilet when I installed UT. It then worked fine :)

[Gwydyon]

Looking at the Mandrake site now.

Remember now that I didnt pick the xfree86 4 that has 3d direct rendering support...balls...how the hell do I install that now

direct rendering: No Then you haven't installed the nVidia drivers for your video card. I am assuming you have an nVidia video card? You haven't said whether or not you do, but note that UT2003 will not work with anything else (patent issues with the S3TC texture compression algorithm).

There's an NHF in How I Did It if you need it, otherwise the README on nVidia's Linux driver page is good.

You won't have to change anything as far as X is concerned, unless you installed X 3.3.6. You need at least 4.0.1 for the nVidia drivers to work -- XFree86 -version will tell you which version you have.
