Signal: SIGIOT [iot trap] Aborting.

[BLTicklemonster]

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.

[BLTicklemonster]

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

[BLTicklemonster]

Ah yes, much better. Now I get a full blown error message!!! I don't feel so bad now.

So I guess I need to edit an ini file and make it not go to the entry.unr... if I can remember where that is, lmao.

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:

cd ~/ut/System
for i in ~/ut/Maps/*uz ; do ./ucc-bin decompress "$i" -nohomedir; done
mv *.unr ../Maps

If everything worked fine, you can delete the .uz files: rm ~/ut/Maps/*unr.uz

Hmm, I need to install and enable identd before I log back on. WTF? Oh well. I'm on msn.

[BLTicklemonster]

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)

It's a UCC commandlet .

Well, at least it didn't act like it couldn't do it this time:

WOW.

Apparently putting the uncompressed maps in the map folder did some good, but looky here:

Now where in which ini file is where I set myself to using d3d I wonder... off to ini-ville it is for me!!!

[BLTicklemonster]

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

Well, I now got this far with it just guessing at what should go in the terminal:

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?

I think ucc-bin only is able to decompress one file per invocation. That's why I posted the for ... do thingie. It basically calls the command between do and done for each matching file (~/ut/Maps/*uz in this case) and substitutes $i for the current filename.

didn't know I had to eject it from the cd thingy, lmao!!!

It was probably still mounted. Your CD drive is locked while the disk is still mounted. Can be quite confusing

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
loki_setup: Can't create /home/ticklemonster/ut: File exists

I don't think those are serious errors.


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

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

[BLTicklemonster]

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?)

[BLTicklemonster]

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.

[BLTicklemonster]

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.

[BLTicklemonster]

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)

[BLTicklemonster]

Finally got it taken care of. UT actually runs smoother in Ubuntu Breezy than it does in XP. Now if I can find a way to map in linux, I'm all set. (problem is, I haven't seen anything encouraging about unreal ed in linux...)

[Obsidian]

UT works in wine, so I guess UED should work aswell.
