Signal: SIGIOT [iot trap]
Aborting.
I've installed Ubuntu, a version of linux, and after a day of having no idea what to do, I finally got UT installed. I bring up the terminal/shell, and type UT and I get this:
Signal: SIGIOT [iot trap] Aborting. What does that mean? I feel cheated, because I googled it, and everyone else had some elaborate goings on about all kinds of things when they got that, but all I get is just those two lines. What am I doing wrong? The UT folder is there, although I don't see an unrealtournament.exe, there is a ut-bin that I suspect is that runs ut because there's also a ucc-bin. Can I launch it from there? I also saw when I was installing it, that it was supposed to be putting it somewhere like I could launch it from some other place. I haven't see that yet. Any ideas would be helpful. |
I can run ut-bin directly from the System dir without any problem.
If noone comes up with a more useful reply, you could try to run ./ut-bin -log (don't know whether the ut script supports paramters because I modified mine). This should give you some more output and maybe a hint. |
Thanks, toa. If there's anything more .... exact you wish to share, like exactly how that is done in case I'm missing something, please feel free to enlighten me. I'm totally new to linux and got lucky even getting UT to load. I posted at the Ubuntu forums, and some wisenheimer had the gall to give the usual "open a shell and blah blah blah" remark. Like a windows user is going to know wtf a shell is. I got past that, though and can get to the terminal just fine.

I assume you opened a shell and at some point typed ./ut in order to launch your UT?
Try to use ./ut -log instead and check whether that'll be more verbose. If that doesn't help, cd to UT's system directory (eg. "cd /usr/bin/UnrealTournament/System" - depends on where you installed it ofc). Then type "./ut-bin -log". If it's still unclear, don't hesitate to contact me on IRC (toa at QuakeNet) and we'll try to work it out :) |
Ah yes, much better. Now I get a full blown error message!!! I don't feel so bad now.

thanks, dude!!! |
You'll find your config files in ~/.loki/ut/System (it'll also place screenshots and demos there).
However, I asked google and it looks like your maps are still compressed and you'll have to decompress them. The following commands should do that: Code:
cd ~/ut/System |
huh, apparently ubuntu doesn't have decompress.
Commandlet decompress not found WARNING: Not using preference Directory ======================== is what I get. If I could remember how to use irc, I'd hit you up. (ubuntu comes with it already lmao woot woot) |
yikes, I forgot I was married. I'll have to catch up with you later, the hook just got set, and I can feel the line being reeled in.
|
I might just copy the maps in .unr to a disk and drag them over that way later. thanks for the idea. (or slave a drive and see if I can naviga- aw heck, I got shared computers all over the house, and they all have UT on them. muahahaha)

Code:
./ucc-bin decompress |
Well, at least it didn't act like it couldn't do it this time:
Compressed file not specified History: Exiting due to error lol |
WOW.
Apparently putting the uncompressed maps in the map folder did some good, but looky here: Quote:

Odd, my UT.ini file looks like this now:
[Engine.GameEngine] ServerPackages=ChaosUT ServerPackages=UTChaosMap ServerPackages=ChaosUTRHUD ServerPackages=ChaosUTMiscMuts ServerPackages=RocketArena ServerPackages=RocketArenaMedia ServerPackages=RocketArenaMultiMesh |
Did you edit your ini file in Windows ? Note that Linux handles carriage returns differently.

Um. No. It was installed from a loki file and the cd 1 from goty. I just put an ini that was edited in MS in it, though, and got the same error.
I think if I can finger out how to uninstall it then reinstall it, (after trying a reboot just for the heck of it) then I'll try that. Why? ...boredom. that and I saw it on a forum that someone did it and suddenly everything was cool. Oh, and the sound is messed up. One thing, though, it looks like it is about to work... the screen goes black, and it windows (which I can work around), then it just dies. Way further than before. I'm more confident in linux now than before, so I'm not letting go just yet. I think this will work given time and your help :). |

ticklemonster@ubuntumonster:~/ut/System$ ./ucc-bin decompress ~/ut/maps/ Could not create History: Exiting due to error Going to rename the UT folder and try installing again. (freaked when I couldn't open my cd tray for a second there... didn't know I had to eject it from the cd thingy, lmao!!! actually, it's a brand new dvd/rw, so yeah, I was totally freaking) *edit: I keep getting this when I install: Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library loki_setup: Can't create /home/ticklemonster/ut: File exists But it installs anyway. Ignore it? |

Unfortunately I installed UT some years ago and don't remember everything I had to do in order to get it running. But I remember that it was a pain :o What I recall: I had to apply the utpg patch 451 (that seems to ship with a nice bug so you won't be able to use redirected downloads) and my sound did/does not work with the default audio thingie. I had to comment out AudioDevice=ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem in my UnrealTournament.ini and instead use AudioDevice=Audio.GenericAudioSubsystem. Oh, and not everything is as hard as getting UT to work, stay tuned :) |
Apparently ubuntu just loads up a few things.
I used synaptic to load everything nvidia related, and could get the game up. frame rate was an astounding 2pfs. There was one nvidia file that didn't load right, so that's probably the problem. I'm back on the windows hard drive for now. I got some things to do (anybody know if dvdshrink works in linux, or if ubuntu copies dvds for archival purposes in case my daughter ruins her new barbie in the nutcracker dvd? Anybody buy that?) |
Odd. I had to redo the OS because I tried to update the nvidia drivers and got locked out of x server and was stuck in this dos looking place... so I waited this time until I'd done a bunch of essential upgrades and all, and now I've gone to install ut again, and it's showing that it is decompressing the uz files automatcially. Nice.
Now the problem will be: will my graphics handle it this time, or am I going to have to redo my nvidia drivers again? I hope I don't geek it out again, because I've got some really cools stuff going on this time... (got to try the cd burner and see if I can archive some files) Wow. it started right up! At 2 fps. Sound is crappy. I'll get it one way or the other. At least this time it showed sdl opengl as the renderer. lata |
