Installing shit on Ubuntu, part 1,771,561

[Annorax]

Why is it that when I install UT2k4 (example, other shit does this too) on my Ubuntu box and the installer wants the next install CD, the fucking stupid thing refuses to umount and eject the first one? The only recommendation I've found so far, opening a second root terminal and doing a "sudo umount /media/cdrom0 -l" doesn't completely work... the CD will physically eject, but remains mounted. How the fuck do I get it to umount properly and allow me to mount the next CD?

I have the DVD, so I never had this problem :rolleyes:

Try

Code: [Select]

su -
umount /media/cdrom0 -l

Try without lazy unmount if that doesn't work. I also had to SSH to a Fedora machine look this up, as I'm at my Windows NT box at work.

Thanks, I got the install to work. Now if I could figure out why it has no fucking sound....

What happens if you sudo mount?

surely that will mount it?

Try to install the OpenAL package.

I believe it's

Code: [Select]

apt-get install libopenal0

It says it's already installed and working. GNOME sounds and other apps work. It's just UT2004's sound that doesn't.

How about ALSA?

Also, have you installed the update yet?

Cannot create ALSA pipeline.

Installing update now.

[Refalm]

Try this

Ah yes, that's a good one. I actually installed OSS to get sound in UT 2004, but now I can remove that crappy OSS shit already and use ALSA.
Thanks

Next question, since I'm apparently stupid...I've got the patch down, but can't figure out how to install it. There's no sh or other executable file I can find in it, and overwriting the original files with the ones in the patch just doesn't seem right. What am I missing?

edit: gods, i'm stupid. Only had to login as root and copy/paste the files in. I'm up and running now.

second edit: why is it locking me into 800x600 resolution? i get unacceptable frameskip and want to take it down to 640x480, how can i make it let me do that?

[Refalm]

You can edit the conf file.

Next problem: power management. This thing insists on powering the monitor off after 15 or so minutes of inactivity, and it annoys the fuck out of me. How can I disable power management?

Sorry, KDE user here, can't help you
