Linux newbie problem

Recommended Posts

Guest

Hi guys I m complete linux newbie and not much familiar with bash.

I downloaded the game. How is the correct syntax of chmod?

When I write as root chmod 775 "mypath here"/el.x86.linux.bin

 

It seems comand was executed.

When I write then ./el.x86.linux.bin -it says me "Permission denied."

 

I have Suse 9.0

What is that?

I have nvidia geforce family card. Properly instaled - what does mean in this case, I just downloaded nvidia driver provided by nvidia via Yast and installed it.

Nothing changes.

When I download original nvidia package, I ll get myself to the point where it does say "Unable to determine nvdia kernel module filename."

Well I got 3D running, all seems to be O.K. I did compiled kernel. But the game is still not running - the application window openes and there is greena and blue rubish in it.

Error log is empty.

I m geting pretty frustrated.

 

glx log seems to be fine, other 3D games are running.

Hey! this happened to me! remember. mabey I can help, Im sorry I am a little lost while reading this, what is the current status of your computer and EL. What drivers are you using with your Nvidia card? the ones from the Nvidia website or the ones from the Yast update (BTW dont do Yast update for the drivers, it doesnt really work for EL) Just reiterate what you have right now.

With other 3d Games like Armagetron it works. (Havent worked before)

I would try. The binary is somehow strange, because, when I click on it in konqueror, which shall initialise the program, it says" Fle is not program" r executable.

When I run it from bash, I get this one result.

You will have to download it from the CVS, and then make

The CVS link is on the main page.

 

Can you please post a screenshot on how the game looks on your computer?

Dont give up. this is not as hard as it seems. If you cant figure out the CVS then go back to the download current version, the guys in this game are experts and can figure it out. dont give up!

My problem is that I dont come along with linux as good as I wanted, even if I like it better than windows, which I abandoned week ago. ;)

 

I downloaded the game a chmod -x the binary. How exactly shall look this line?

I think you should have a dual boot, Linux and Windows. Windows should be for games, linux should be for learning it. Changing your OS is not very easy, and you will still need Windows for most of the games.

Wait, you chmod -x it? Better make that a +.

 

The exact line should be

 

chmod +x ./el.x86.linux.bin

 

and should be executed in the directory where the file resides. Alternatively, you could right click on the file in Konqueror, choose Properties (i guess), and set the executable flags somewhere in the window that pops up.
