linux gameing You have two options: 1) You can compile the game - this ensures you get the latest version If you are running ubuntu you will need to install the building tools first: Code: sudo apt-get install build-essential Look at the ReadMe file that comes bundled with the source code. It will usually tell you about any extra libraries you need to install like SDL development files. Generally speaking, you compile source by: 1) ./configure 2) make 3) sudo make install or 2) You can visit the Loki installers webpage and download an easy to install binary package. Most of these versions are out of date though - the Nexuiz version is so old that it won't even let you join any servers! Download the file and open a terminal. Then: Code: chmod +x <filename.bin> Then: Code: sudo ./<filename.bin>
linux gameing i still cant figure it out could you help me install cube1 homepage: Cube Engine Games downloadpage: SourceForge.net: Files i found it on the loki installers and its up to date i will edit this post if i cant figure out that file
You don't need to build it from source, it's already available as a binary. Just download the tar.gz file, extract it someplace (e.g. /usr/local/games or /home/yourname/games) and run the sauerbraten_unix shell script. That's pretty much it. Happy gaming!
i dont want to play the sauerbraten game i got the game installed but when i try to run it the error is with opengl cant open a screen with glk

That means that you don't have your 3D drivers installed. No 3D drivers, no 3D games either. What kind of video card do you have? Also, what distro are you running?
IMHO, Nvidia drivers are pretty easy to install, and it gets easier once you know how to handle it. Try following this thread: HOWTO: Latest Nvidia Drivers- Testers needed - Ubuntu Forums
sorry i was busy and had no time to mess with this but not i got a little time so i will look into that
