Ubuntu :: Can't Seem To Get Urban Terror Up And Running
Nov 8, 2010
Was wondering if any of you solved this weird problem before. Currently, I am running Kubuntu 10.10 and I can't seem to get Urban Terror up and running. I've checked the usual stuff... That's the chmod +x as well as disabling my desktop effects but I still can't run Urban Terror. In fact when I run it, it does go into full screen mode (with a black background) before returning to my desktop with the program terminated.
i have tons of computers running and my best one cant play the oldest games. My old P3 can play these games and this computer cant.
[Code]....
So basically a 2GHz machine with 2Gigs of ram and a Geforce 8300. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty i think ?). Anyway all of the basic games dont work well, they are choppy and slow. I put them in the lowest resolution just for them to be playable. It does not make any sense to me I have the latest version of the nvidia drivers running (I used ./NVI... --update)

This program is used to configure the NVIDIA Linux graphics driver. Copyright (C) 2004 - 2010 NVIDIA Corporation. The only thing I can think of is a crappy video card ? but still i should be able to run these old games.
How to install SUMO software in Fedora 10. I am not able to get the steps required for installing SUMO in Fedora 10. Also I am not getting the libraries required for SUMO in Fedora 10. I am getting for Fedora 14 and 15. I want source for Fedora 10.
My system is Fedora 13 XFCE spin on DELL laptop Inspiron 1440 (1st column). Urban Terror was installed by Yum. While playing, the screen suddenly freezes, nothing moves. The sound seem to work but very very slow (eg. the normal sound is A B C D ... now the sound becomes AAAAAAAAA BBBBBBB CCCCCCCCC DDDDDDDD .....................). The mouse don't response but the keyboard seem to response: I try press '~' key, then press 'q' and 'tab', finally 'enter', the sound stops, the mouse cursor appears (so I think I quitted UT) but the screen don't change (still game screen). So I try "Ctrl + Alt + Backspace" to execute "xfce4-session-logout --halt" (this shortcut is set by me. Default there is not this shortcut. I try to set a shortcut to restart X server but find no way. So I set it to this command, this seem to log out rather than to restart the X server.). The screen become clear (black) and the log in screen mouse cursor appears (the mouse cursors on login screen and on desktop are different), but nothing more displays. As you know, on login screen there is a panel at the bottom with a button on the right. When we click this button, it shows a popup menu from that we can restart or shutdown. So I try to click on the bottom right of the screen on position of this button, then click on above it a little, the system shuts down (or restarts) with the splash screen (the blue screen with the Fedora logo) => the login screen still works but not displays What is my problem, how can I fix it?
Hi. I have Ubuntu 10.04, nm-applet is running in the background, my battery icon and sound icon are showing but my network icon has been missing for the past 2 days. It was working fine before but now it's not. How can I fix this issue if I don't have an ethernet cord? Is there a way to roll back the recent updates or do I need to reinstall my network manager?
I've tried restarting the system and I've tried killing nm-applet and reloading it using Alt F2. I get some Debug error.
When I try to run nm-applet --sm-disable
It says an instance is already running and then gives me a warning.
I tried removing "iface eth0 inet dhcp" from /etc/network/interfaces and then tried restarting by "sudo /etc/initi.d/networking restart"
It says:
What can I do to connect to the internet? I have a flash stick if its possible to download a .deb package on this mac and transfer it over to my other laptop to fix the problem. If its possible.
I can't figure out why but my processor is running at 100% on all four cores, and the fan is running at max speed. All I did was double click an a.out file created by g++, and it is running at full speed now.
Sometimes I connect to my Debian box from another computer (using SSH on Cygwin or Linux), and once ina while I want to run some console apps. And sometimes some of these apps might complain about "another intance, Error: an instance of newsbeuter is already running (PID: 2496)". Is there a work around for this issue at all(without killing the original instance") ? The reason I do not want to kill the app because there might be 2 users connected to the same machine that might be using the same app.
Is suid disabled from running all home made bash scripts or just from running them as root or:
Who would know for sure.
I googled several combinations of Mandriva Linux how-to suid disabled setUID etc... so far all I found was "many distributions are disabling suid for security reasons" nothing specific.
We are running IPmonitor to monitor the disk usage on our Linux servers. It does not seem to coincide with what is reported when running df -h. For example on a Red Hat 5.3 server - our IPmonitor shows that 85% is used on the /usr partition, however when I do a df -h on the server it shows that 91% is used. Why there would be a discrepancy? IPmonitor uses SNMP.
My root Vixie cron crontab is set to perform a system snapshot via fsarchiver: 0 0 * * * fsarchiver savefs -o -A /backups/p30_root.fsa /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 The command itself works fine, generating about a 7G snapshot of my Suse server. I then wish to rsync this to a NAS I have located in another building: 0 3 * * * rsync -av -e ssh --delete /backups/ root{at address}:/DataVolume/os_backups/
(yes, I'm rsyncing as root. I absolutely loathe it, but I got thrown into an quasi-SA position with a ridiculous to-do list and no time to do it. I'm having to make things just work and then go back and try to improve them/learn how. I couldn't make it work in a non-root way quick enough, so for now I'm having to cron rsync jobs as root because of all the differing file permissions on this samba/MySql server. I set the NAS to only accepts ssh from the server IP, and we're behind a campus firewall... It's serious trial by fire.) The crontab also has rsync commands for the samba areas, our specialized chemistry software and affiliated MySQL databases............
On my crontab there is an entry to run a script I wrote that backs up my local files to my remote server. It was working great, running once a day. However, I now want to make the script run every hour.The problem is that if there are too manyfiles to transfer (Example:I ripped a DVD in the last hour) the actual backup may take longer than 60 minutes.So I want to modify the script to check if my backup script, based on rsync, is running. If rsync is still running then do nothing and exit the script. If it is not running, execute the script as normal.
My wife's portable's fan is not working well and the manufacturer (LG, or more aptly, LNSG - Life's not so good!) will not or cannot supply a replacement. So, I was wondering if linux is cooler than XP.
i installed yumex:yum -y install yumex, when i start yumex it came with this error:fatal error:backend-not-running backend not running as expected (yumex will close) how can i solve it?
I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my acer aspire one netbook...and I updated, now im trying to find out where i can get AIM shat client and how to install.
I'm a relative noob that's been using 9.04 for about 9 months, and 10.04 for about 1 or 2. In trying to use a couple of old Windows apps I've found WINE to be helpful, but I hit a wall with the Australian Tax Office's eTax app not playing well in WINE, so I decided to run an XP virtual machine (I have a license with my notebook anyway). I turned to KVM since it's the recommended app it appears (correct me if I'm mistaken, please). After installing kvm and virt-manager I had a hard time getting XP to install until I ran virt-manager as root, then the installation crawled (I have a core duo 1.66 with 1.5Gb RAM and 64Mb SSD, and I allocated 1 core and 512mb with 4.0Gb for the partition). I've installed XP probably 100 times on a range of hardware and it's never been this slow to install.
Once I installed it I couldn't reboot the vm (error says it's not a supported feature, which confuses me as to why it's there in virt-manager). When I shut down and came back a few days later, it advised that it couldn't see /dev/sr0. I understood this to be the CD-ROM, so I changed the boot drive to the hard disk, and it just boots to a black screen. I then changed back to boot from the CD-ROM, and sure enough I see the 'starting seabios' post screen and then it tells me that I'm booting from CD with the usual windows 'Press any key to boot...' which I allow to pass. At that point I get the 'We apologise for the inconvenience..' screen that you get when you haven't shut down windows properly, but when I select anything it just freezes.
Hence I have some questions: 1. Why does it need to boot to the cd drive? 2. Why won't it boot directly from the hard drive? It only does this when the cd-rom has timed out? 3. Why does the boot from cd-rom then timeout act differently to the boot from hard drive? 4. Why does the 'reboot' feature appear if it doesn't work? 5. The 'shutdown' feature doesn't work for me either (it appears to do nothing) 6. I tried to start XP in safemode and it hangs at mup.sys. On traditional hardware I'd have assumed that the OS had become corrupt, and one of the reasons for this could be unclean shutdowns so this could be my own doing, but I refer back to points 5 and 6.
I just bought some USB 3.0 Drives, and with them some USB 3.0 PCIe cards. Problem is, the cards are not being recognized by Ubuntu.
The manufacturer (ASUS) only posts windows drivers but no Linux support. Some web searches suggest that USB3.0 was inlcuded by default on kernel 2.6.31
Any clues on how to get my PCIe cards recognized and the USB3.0 drives working full speed?
This is the lspci output. The cards show as a SATA controller (Marrvel Technology) The chipset apparently is a NEC
I have this habit of trying to switch desktops by using ctrl+alt+F1 (or F2 or whatever desktop I'm trying to go to) instead of ctl+alt+left/right. So when I do this and get dropped to CLI, is it possible to get back to the X session I had running? If not to that session, what's the proper way to kill X before bringing it back up?
why my second cron job isn't running? The first one runs fine but the second one does not run at all. If I manually run the script using ./check.sh then it does what it is supposed to but will not run from cron. It should run every weekday at 9:45am, it looks good to me but clearly I am doing something wrong.
Code: # m h dom mon dow command #This will backup my hosted websites. 0 2 * * * /home/bob/scripts/websitebakscript.sh #This will run check and upload it's contents to the net. 45 9 * * 1,2,3,4,5 /home/bob/scripts/check.sh
What I mean to ask if any of the things that linux users benefit from as far as viruses and spyware remain same when running a virtual linux box in virtualbox as an exampledditionally does this greatly increase the chance of passing.
I just did an upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04 and i'm loving it. I just need to get Java working so I can use ..... and stuff like that. I installed OpenJDK and the plugin but I can't figure out how to get it to work in Google Chrome or even Firefox.
I have a 4 Gb USB stick on which I have a few different distros and flavours etc (see end for how I made the disk). There is a generic boot and gfxmenu folder to give the boot options. For each distro / flavour I then copy the OS files from the .iso and add the relevent lines to menu.lst in boot. This system normally works perfectly. I tried to add UNR to the list (for a netbook I have), but failed, perhaps because I copied the wrong files across:
From the UNR.iso I copied: A) casper/filesystem.squashfs and renamed UNR.sqfs B) isolinux folder and renamed UNR C) casper/initrd.lz and casper/vmlinuz to UNR folder on stick D) Adding these lines to the boot/grub/menu.lst:
Unfortunately I get dropped to an ash shell after the system complains that it 'Gave up waiting for a root device'
Anyone got any ideas how to resolve this issue. I would really like to have UNR on the stick along with the other linux flavours so I can show people with netbooks its potential.
Full Instructions for multiple liveUSB:
1) Format the USB drive with ext3 without any partitions 2) Copy the OS files from a liveCD or mount the image and extract the isolinux dir and livecd.sqfs to the USB 3) Creat 2 folders- USB:/boot and USB:/gfxmenu 4) Copy /boot/grub/ folder from a running linux install into the USB:/boot folder 5) Copy /usr/share/gfxboot/themes/pclinuxos/boot/message to USB:/gfxmenu 6) Modify USB:/boot/grub/menu.lst to:
7) Install GRUB to MBR of USB:
If you want multiple boot images then repeat step 2 for each (assign each pair a unique name) and then add relevent stanzas to menu.lst:
I have a ubuntu 9.10 machine which is left 24/76, as my "download server". I have Vuze/Azureus installed, which I control mainly through the HTML UI, so rarely log into the machine.
Currently, when the machine restarts (not often) I have to log in via NeatX, and run Vuze. I then disconnect, and use the HTML UI.
Is it possible to set Vuze to run automatically, on startup, without the neeed to log in ? If I did this, where exactly would it be running ? As what user ? And what would happen if I then logged in, and ran it in a session ?
this is not very exact and scientific but placing my hand under my laptop (HP Presario v6000 2gig Intel) is noticably hotter and this effect is only with 10.04 32bit fresh install from ubuntu download center - no other partitions. ps my fan worked fine with windows7.. prior installation.
