korrode Report post Posted November 22, 2009 You'll see on the EL download page here: http://www.eternal-lands.com/page/download.php it says For Ubuntu, try this link. If for some reason that doesn't work, try the generic instructions. The provided link has easy instructions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DHT Report post Posted November 29, 2009 The admin password it asks you is the one you entered when installing Ubuntu. and unzipping is easy: install unzip like zalic explained, then right click on file and choose "Extract here" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raavea Report post Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) More info please... Which method from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EternalLands ...did you use? ...or are you trying the generic linux release? Hello, I am following that guide, on Jaunty, and the install seems to be having problems downloading el_170_linux.zip from http://twinmoons.org.uk/el/ It hasn't thrown up any major errors yet, but it does keep skipping so-many-K and re-trying. (You can see this by clicking Details.) I was wondering if the OP or anyone else either has had this problem (but it just made the install last ages) or knows how to fix it. Or should I give up on using synaptic and just go the generic install route, do you reckon? EDIT: It did screw up, after HOURS of waiting. I can't seem to download manually either - it keeps hanging, or stopping in the middle. Is there something wrong with the server? o.O I haven't played EL for years, I miss it!

korrode Report post Posted December 29, 2009 Odd, i don't have any probs retrieving that file... one can only assume the problem is at your end (are you on wireless internet? do you often have issues downloading files?) or somewhere in the routers between you and the server hosting that file. Anyway, yeah, try the generic linux release. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluap Report post Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) Hello, I am following that guide, on Jaunty, and the install seems to be having problems downloading el_170_linux.zip from http://twinmoons.org.uk/el/... That's my hosted server and its looking fine from here. If the download fails or you stop it then package will start the download again from the beginning if you try again. You can manually download the file in bits using wget then complete the installation. The other files are smaller but you could use the same method for them too, just change the names. Open terminal then do the following. sudo wget -O /var/cache/eternallands/el_170_linux.zip -c http://twinmoons.org.uk/el/el_170_linux.zip sudo dpkg --configure -a If the download fails or stalls, you restart using the same command. The "-c" option continues a partial download. Edited December 31, 2009 by bluap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
