phunni Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 I'm having problems with the quake2 installer - it can't find my CD, although I'm not sure why. Actually, I'm having the same problem with the Duke3D installer - am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 are you mounting the CDs prior to the install? did you make sure to include joliet extensions for cdroms in your kernel when you compiled it? (should be under file system types or something...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted August 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 yes and no Not sure I can be bothered to recompile my kernel for this. I have found a more manual way to install duke3D: http://www.icculus.org/duke3d/ Anyone know of something similar for Quake 2 (or quake 1 for that matter - just as soon as I find my CD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 the other possibility is that the cdrom isn't where the install is expecting it to be (/mnt/cdrom or /dev/cdrom)....not sure if this might be your issue or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Are you using: emerge quake2-data & emerge quake2-relnev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted August 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 What do they actually install? I have read what it says in their descriptions - but do I need a CD to install like that? I don't want a shareware version as I do have retail CD for windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 I'm guessing here because I don't have quake2, BUT I do own quake3 and when I emerge it, when I want to start it up for the first time it ask for my key. My guess is that 2 would do the samething?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted August 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 OK - Duke3D installed and it runs - nice :D But trying to install quake2 via emerge is proving a problem - I get the following problem: You must mount the Quake 2 CD first! * If you do not have the CD, but have the data files * mounted somewhere on your filesystem, just export * the variable GAMES_CDROM so that it points to the * directory containing the files. !!! ERROR: app-games/quake2-data-3.20 failed. !!! Function games_verify_cd, Line 147, Exitcode 0 !!! You must provide the Quake 2 data before running the install So I tried mounting my cdrom at /mnt/cdrom and exporting GAMES_CDROM to that - but then I get the following: * Using /mnt/cdrom as the data source !!! ERROR: app-games/quake2-data-3.20 failed. !!! Function src_install, Line 35, Exitcode 1 !!! Could not determine what /mnt/cdrom points at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted August 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 OK - got it installed. I had to point the variable to /mnt/cdrom/install/data Now - I can't get sound to work. It wants to use the arts server - which I don't have installed. Does anyoneknow if it's possible to get it to work without arts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 I'm telling you, it's those joliet extensions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 What kind of sound card do you have? # grep audio /proc/pci Are you using alsa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 I'm telling you, it's those joliet extensions...I'm telling you, I have no clue what I'm talking about apparently.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, I was wondering about that? Are you suggesting that joliet will help with sound? Or was that for the CD-rom issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted August 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 I am using alsa and my sound card is Multimedia audio controller: Yamaha Corporation YMF-744B [DS-1S Audio Controller] (rev 2). does that shed any light? Edit: turns out I actually DO have arts installed already. Not sure I want to go that way though... If anyone knows how to get quake2 to use alsa - then that would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 it was for the cdrom issue. he posted that he fixed it and i posted about the joliet stuff at the exact same time pretty much. joliet extensions have nothing to do with sound ;-) but they are pretty necessary when it comes to reading cdroms designed for windows.
