nekla Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) Hello i have 32bit pc i think and i tried to install ET on my ubuntu and tried: sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2 and it says it no longer available to download Package libgtk1.2 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package libgtk1.2 has no installation candidate please help!!

Desu Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 taken from Roar forums. credit goes to range_ I think I can help you. Terminal: Applications > Accessories > Terminal Enter this commands one by one: 2.55: wget http://ftp.games.skynet.be/pub/wolfenstein/et-linux-2.55.x86.run 2.60: wget http://ftp.games.skynet.be/pub/wolfenstein/et-linux-2.60.x86.run You will need libgtk1.2: sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2 Add permissions: chmod +x et-linux-2.55.x86.run Install:./et-linux-2.55.x86.run(adminstrator password needed) Oh wait, 9.10 users are reporting difficulties in installing libgtk1.2, follow this thing to install properly. This will open the file sources.list obviously. Code: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list Scroll to the bottom and add the following: Code: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/'>http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/'>http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/'>http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty universe deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty universe Now save and close the file, return to terminal and enter the following. Code: sudo aptitude update && aptitude install libgtk1.2(Pw needed I think) Edit the sources.list again. Code: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list Remove it. Code: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty universe deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty universe EDIT: About the language, sudo aptitude install language-pack-en does it. Yes, couldn't be simplier. cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desu Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 thats what i would say before, but after experimenting with ubuntu for 3 days and got ET working, and getting other programs such as Wine.... its not that hard! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w0nder Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 thank you very much I just woke up so il post if i get it working or not You will not have sound.. There are a few methods to use to enable the sound. I am actually having the biggest noob issue, and I cannot figure out what I am missing. So I want to put my cfg in my etmain folder, but as we all know you cannot drag and drop because you do not have permission. So I try to move from the terminal and it tells me there is no such directory of /user/local/games/enemy-territory/etmain What the hell am I missing? sudo mv w0nder.cfg ./dir/dir/dir/dir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desu Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 got i need sound. urine told me to do sudo apt-get soundfix.dll in terminal. would that fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w0nder Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 hmm I dont think so... Try this sudo -i echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss echo "et.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss et Each line is a new command obviously.. Now when et starts if this works you can make a script to start ET with this otherwise you have to do it everytime you restart PC EXAMPLE: gksudo echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss gksudo echo "et.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss killall esd et esd exit 0 I forgot to mention that the ESD sound server has been killed in the script. Some people do not need to do this but I did Save as txt then use commands to give it executable permissions and to put it in your usr.local/games yada yada Then just start from script, I am sorry if this makes no sense I am not that great at explaining things Almost forgot..you need to give permissions or you wont download maps. at least I did sudo chown -R user:group ~/.etwolf/ (your user and group are probably the same unless you changed groups) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerbilZ Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) Never mind I was being retarded.. Got it figured out chmod a+rwx /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/etmain Ubuntu 9.04 tim@damnMachine:~$ chmod a+rwx /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/etmain chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/local/games/enemy-territory/etmain': Operation not permitted tim@damnMachine:~$ would seem that doesn't work for everyone.... I was so hopeful too.. ----------------------------------------------- ah. I may have had a retarded moment as well first: sudo -i log in as root Edited January 26, 2010 by GerbilZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
