multiboot system + Urban Terror

Did you install graphics card drivers? (that's one of the very few drivers that need to be installed on linux explicitly (most other drivers are in the linux kernel itself)).

@linux...
try to run the 32bit version, maybe with linux32 progi.
i had one situation where it helped.
ah does console give u errors?

nothing...now the program doesnt even show uo anymore in the processes viewer...
lot of effort to play a simple game sofar on Linux...lord.

rebooting to Windoze now!

The problem is too specific. Just run the urt through terminal - that's why i love the easiness with which you can diagnose the problem in Linux:

Code: Select all

cd /path/to/urt
./URT_BINARY_NAME


Btw. you definitely need drivers for your graphics if u don't have one. There are 2 ways, the hard with bleeding edge driver, and the easy and stable:

Btw I had lot of fun with installing graphic drivers so if u get frustrated, be persistent and ask here !

P.S.: Ubuntu should have the drivers in the repository so you can get them using synaptic/adept/apt-get/whatever.

For ATI, you need fglrx-glx or something.
For NVIDIA you need nvidia-glx or something.

Or you can try downloading them from the ATI/NVIDIA's site like I did, but then you will have to install "linux-headers" and "build-essentials" packages from the repository.

You can try this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle

And restart PC:

Code: Select all

sudo reboot

then look again, if it works now

Code: Select all

glxgears

is there rly no errors? is it executeable?

yeah, I made it.
I even downloaded Urban Terror again, unpacked, made files executable, now nothing happens lol.

but, it doesn't matter anymore, because when I booted my computer today, I came to the conclusion my HDD died.
Luckily it's just the HDD with the OS's on it, not the one with my files, but I'm very poor and can't buy a new HDD for a few weeks.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Seems 3 OS's on one disk leave their trail....

it shouldn't...it doesn't do anything to the hardware...

In windows source code there is a part that goes like this:

Code: Select all

while(1)
{
  flicker_led(LED_HDD);
}

Are you sure it didn't do anything?

P.S.: I'm out of spare HDDs, sorry (unless you want me to send you a cca. 250MB PATA drive from early '90s [edit]it worked last time I used it[/edit]).
