Downloading Regnum in Ubuntu 10.04.1

_Kessler_ · 11-12-2010, 03:09 AM

Ok, so I looked at various posts to find an answer to this problem but nothing really worked. So I download regnum(64-bit version). However, I cant seem to find an rolauncher. The only file I see is RegnumOnlineInstall_64, and I can't extract. So anyone know whats the problem? I also did give executing permission for that file. I made a folder for the game too and I have an i686 binary package. Also for your info I am noob lol, I just downloaded ubuntu the other day so I would really appreciate it if you can give me descriptive directions. Step by step from downloading would be really helpful. And I do know how to use terminal commands.

First of all, launch a terminal (ctrl + alt + t) and type:

Code:

uname -m

If it says x86_64 then you have the correct installer, otherwise you're running a 32-bit distro.

RegnumOnlineInstall_64 is a binary, so you should just give it exec. rights and run it (double click the icon or use the terminal) .

Try posting the output of the installer.

I tried the code and got i686 as a response. Then, forgive me lol but how exactly do i find the output of the installer? Also, I gave the RegnumOnlineInstall_64 exec. rights and tried double clicking but nothing happened. And just in case I tried downloading the 32-bit version but the download didnt even start.....

i686 is 32-bit. I tried the 32-bit direct download link for the Linux installer, and it works for me.
You cannot run 64-bit applications on a 32-bit operating system.

I will give it a retry.
lol for some reason it didnt work with firefox but the download is working with chrome.

I made it more complicated then it really is.

Welcome to Regnum, and I hope you enjoy the game!

So... How would a linux first-timer change the the installer to an executable?

...And yes, you may add this to fail blog

Whoa, halt the flaming! I figured it out! I feel stupid

He shouldn't, that's why we have repositories today. Having Regnum packaged in Canonical Third Party for Ubuntu would be a good start.

That said, I think new users shouldn't be allowed to grant execution rights or change the default $PATH.
