[SOLVED] - Doom 3 on Kubuntu

[TheBigAmbulance]

I've followed the instructions and gotten everything installed. When I try to run the game, I get the following:

dpich@dpich-m6400:~/doom3$ ./doom3

I've checked that I'm running 24 bpp per other instructions I've found. I'm running the 190.42 drivers installed from downloading them from NVidia's site.

Re: Doom 3 on Kubuntu

im sorry i dont know how to help u on that but where u got the game from? is it in package installer?

Re: Doom 3 on Kubuntu

you need the original disk for downloading the files, plus the installer from ID Software located here: ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/doom3/linux/

Full instructions are located here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Doom3

Re: Doom 3 on Kubuntu

but in originall disk u mean the cd game original or with the link u game me with the doom3 x86.run is the installer? or the client for online?

Re: Doom 3 on Kubuntu

It's all spelled out in the in instructions I linked...

The ID Software link installs the linux "version" without some of the necessary original files from the CD. That is why they need to be copied over.

Re: Doom 3 on Kubuntu

Do you have the video (probably proprietary) driver for you card installed?
What happens if you try to run glxgears?
Looks like it is choking on trying to find an OpenGL driver.

Re: Doom 3 on Kubuntu

Wow, that was weird...

I had originally installed the driver from www.nvidia.com which worked great for a while. After traveling through Googleland, I read that someone had to uninstall the drivers installed straight from Nvidia, and install them from apt-get.

So I uninstalled the NVidia drivers, and then installed the Karmic blessed ones using the following install guide: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-nv...epidhardy.html

After that, I'm playing Doom 3.

Go figure!

Re: [SOLVED] - Doom 3 on Kubuntu

If you install the nvidia drivers using the downloaded NVIDIA...run file, you have to reinstall it every time a kernel upgrade occurs, and sometimes even if certain x upgrades occur. That's probably why it broke.

Re: [SOLVED] - Doom 3 on Kubuntu

So let's say that nvidia 192.xx comes out. Wouldn't I need to uninstall the packages nvidia-190-modaliases nvidia-glx-190 and install whatever the new ones are?

Re: [SOLVED] - Doom 3 on Kubuntu

If you want to go from envy back to the downloaded drivers, it's a little more complicated than that. See:

http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...4892#msg164892

If you are using the downloaded ...run drivers, all you need to do is run the new driver, and it will overwrite the old one.
