[HELP ME] How to install Regnum Online on arch linux....

[Arafails]

Wow.

The fact that the flags are greyed out actually suggests he doesn't own the file anyway (did you run firefox with root privileges or something?)

Anyway, Nightchill, RO actually doesn't work out of the box with Ubuntu. You have to install OpenAL yourself (I know, WTF?)

[Nightchill]

What you are doing is changing the directory to RegnumOnlineInstall_32, and since that is a file you can not change the directory to it. That means you can't do the following:

cd /home/an/Desktop/RegnumOnlineInstall_32

So, here's how you do this

cd /home/$USER/Desktop
chmod +x RegnumOnlineInstall_32
./RegnumOnlineInstall_32

IF you still have permission problems and can not execute I suggest you do the following:

su -
chown $USER /home/$USER/Desktop/RegnumOnlineInstall_32
su - $USER

Now just repeat the cd steps above.

Note: $USER = your username, e.g. if your username is johndoe than you replace $USER with johndoe. (e.g. /home/johndoe instead of /home/$USER)

@arathael, umm, last time i installed ubuntu ibex (2 days ago) and ran regnum libopenal was already installed.

please post the output of the following command:

mount

Thanks,

[Nightchill]

let me break it down,

the following changes the user from you to root, for that you need the root password (ask your brother for it)

su -

chown changes the owner of the file from someone else to you (since i'm guessing that might be the problem if it won't start even after you did chmod +x)

chown $USER /home/$USER/Desktop/RegnumOnlineInstall_32

and the last bit changes back from root to you

su - $USER

[onemyndseye]

Ok...one more:

show output of this command:

ls -l /

(Nightchill: Im thinking his home dir may be set to noexec)

o,o if it is that then it's weird

@zero: btw what is your system configuration, i.e. what graphic card do you have?

Hum not really, The executable available on the website seemed to be faulty last time I checked.

Downloaded it twice, and twice it was not running saying some crap like

sh: ('!

Please give the output of

cat /etc/fstab

So any luck on helping me?????

We're getting there. NTFS-3G is slightly bugged in that it likes to mount things noexec without telling you.

For quick fix, do:

sudo mount -oremount,exec /pub/data1

However, you will lose this fix when you reboot. To make it permanent, edit /etc/fstab like this (changes in red):

/dev/sda2 /pub/data1 ntfs-3g rw,defaults,user,exec 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /pub/data2 ntfs-3g rw,defaults,user,exec 0 0

You'll need help from your brother, or whoever else has admin rights, to do the above steps.

You should be able to do the chmod +x etc. sequence at this point. If not, show the output of mount command again.

It's a protected file that regular users can't edit. Ask your brother (or whoever has sudo rights on the machine) to make the changes as root user.

After making the changes, just reboot and retry the chmod sequence.
