Need help with first install on Debian Rate Topic: -----

I've never played games before, and thought I'd try it out. I am using Debian with a tiling window manager (not a DE).

I downloaded the updater and retrieved a bunch of files. I made some mistakes- I at first thought I needed to run a local server and tried to follow the directions for that. I created a user 'urt' to run the game from.

So, I just ran the updater again, and it tells me I'm updated and do I want to play? I say "y" and it gives me this:



Your game is up to date!
Would you like to play now? [y/n]: y

Looks like it thinks I'm on a Windows PC, saying it's looking for autoexec.cfg? Weird, but I am completely unfamiliar with running games so I don't know what to think. Can someone help me out here?


urt@ada:~/urbanterror43$ uname -a
Linux ada 4.9.0-5-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.65-3+deb9u2 (2018-01-04) x86_64 GNU/Linux



I would much prefer to install it as a deb file, but can't find one... I can't use the ones made for Ubuntu (it seems), and the link on sourceforge.net seems to only be for the i386 version, not the x86_64 version.

the autoexec.cfg is a q3 script/config file loaded/executed within the game if you start it. You can safely ignore this error.

your game actually crashes during SDL_Init, so its some sort of issue with that. However, im entirely unfamilier with these things. Guessing from about 5 mins of googling and combining that with something i recall reading on discord about 2 weeks ago, it might be that its a permission issue. Or your SDL lib isnt installed correctly. or im entirely wrong. Again, im guessing here :)
Sorry for my bad spelling - I am still asleep. :)

Thank you for taking the time to get back with me about this.

Using a different machine (but with very similar setup) I was able to download the files and run the updater, and subsequently start the game. So, yea, I'll reload the other machine, thanks for suggesting the possible permissions problem.

I am a Debian user myself, and although a .deb file would be nice, I don't think any such thing is available for Debian, and using an Ubuntu .deb is not a good idea. . The only packages you really need are "curl" (don't quote me on exact package name) and maybe one other, launching from a terminal clearly tells you the needed packages if you don't have them.

Here's a command showing the basic way to launch UrT from a terminal

/home/YOUR_USER_NAME/UrbanTerror43/Quake3-UrT.x86_64


The above assumes your UrT folder is located right in your home directory.
