UT2003 install problem.

[JCool451]

UT2K3 installer does this when I try to install it. What does it mean? Thanks.

[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device
[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
mount: /dev/hdb4: can't read superblock

It shouldn't matter. The installer is just trying to be intelligent and mount your CD-ROM device for you, but it's running into an error where there's no floppy in the drive (that's the "not a valid block device" message). Either put a floppy in so it doesn't sit there and try to remount it every time you need to switch CDs, or don't worry about it. If you manually mount and umount the CD, it will work just fine.

Actually, I'm not sure why it's trying to mount hdb4, but there probably isn't a filesystem there, right? You might want to get it out of fstab if that's the case, just to get rid of that one message. Or again, just let it go.

The "no newline at end of file" message is easy enough to fix. Open up fstab in an editor, position the cursor at the very end, and hit return. Save the file and exit, and that complaint should go away.

But you can always just let it go, and it should install just fine. Are you having problems other than those messages?

exporting SETUP_CDROM stops the floppy thing altogether and UT2003 installs slightly quicker

eg.

export SETUP_CDROM=/mnt/cdrom
sh /mnt/cdrom/linux_installer.sh

I got it installed, but it doesn't want to startup. Is there some special trick or command to get it to start up?

Open a console and type "ut2003"

This will start the game and if it doesn't you'll see the errors of why

./update ut2003
Searching for installed products... done!
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified


Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0



--that is the error it's giving me when trying to update it. why is it doing this and how can it be fixed?

[bwkaz]

Let me guess... you aren't running loki_update (don't run just update, that's something else, I think -- unless it's the update in the ut2003 directory? I think loki_update will work better anyway, and you also don't need to tell it which product to update on the command line) as the same user as whoever started X up, right?

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server This is an error from your X server that authentication failed. You might be able to fix it with an xhost +localhost as your normal user before running X-based programs as another user, and then xhost -localhost afterward.

I had a similar problem running update. It kept telling me it couldn't find UT2K3 on my computer. I ran loki_update and it went smooth.
