why won't any of these commands work? [solved]

[iceyintel]

Ok, i may just be super dumb, but i am trying to install World Of Warcraft Wrath Of Lich King over my cedega WoW but my problem is that it doesn't install and i found on the net that you have to type a command to have the "hidden" items show to install (via copy and pasting to desktop i think)

 

I tried all of them, i know my uid is 500 and i know mandriva uses su not sudo, but what am doing wrong when i type this commands and they don't work?The umounts work, but the mounts don't

 

the commands here don't work http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/b..._id=4997;tips=1 http://www.cedega.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9817 http://www.cedega.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9826

 

most support goes for ubuntu anyways.

 

when my cd is mounted (normal way) this is what it says

 

/dev/sr0 on /media/Lich King type udf (ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,uid=500)

 

if anyone could help i would really appreciate it, thanks!

Last night I installed Playonlinux from the reposity, after that I got Ratatouille running for my daugther.

and I can see that there are support for WOW in Playonlinux.

 

Use Playonlinux to install WoW and then run it like you would do on windows pc.

 

And mayby You'll have to download Winetricks, for more Windows support http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks

didn't work.... i really can't see anything working unless i somehow mount it the way so it will unhide the files on the DVD.

Sorry my mistake, haven't read your first post proberly.

 

I'm not an expert in using the commandline, but have you tried to log in as root in konsole/terminal?

If this doesn't work you have to wait on someone with more experince in using CLI, sorry

If your

mount

command (as user) shows:

/dev/sr0 on /media/Lich King type udf (ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,uid=500)

 

With your DVD mounted try

su

enter your password

umount /media/'Lich King'
mount -t udf -o ro,unhide,uid=500 /dev/sr0 /media/'Lich King'

Does that work for you? If not, please post the error.

now it won't even do anything

If you want to mount manually, you must create the mount point first

mkdir /media/'Lich King'

OK, try

umount /media/'Lich King'
mount -t udf -o ro,unhide,uid=500 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom

or /media/cdrom0

 

If that doesn't work, follow Jim's instructions and create a mount point.

On a 2009 system, /media/cdrom may not exist (I believe that the installer does not add an entry in fstab for optical drives) and so he may need to create that directory anyway.

thanks! i got it working finnaly, had to make the directory then run the command, and now cedega is installing the game right now.

Jim, this is just to show the reasoning behind my post. My 2009.0 system:

[greg@halfway ~]$ cat /etc/fstab | grep cdrom
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto umask=0,users,iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec 0 0

However, I have found so many inconsistencies in the different installations of other users... who knows. :huh:

 

iceyintel, I'm glad it's working for you. :)
