Thanks. That really helps. Ill post back here if I get it working. Can I also downgrade the server to an earlier version of armagetronad-dedicated that has authentication?

No, it's the build type that has authentication disabled. You need to switch from .deb to either .package or building from source.

I'd say so. All the other builds have it, and while it's not enabled by default in the source (I'm conservative with new features), that's just inconsistent.

Cool. I compile the server from source and then just wait for the next release of armagetron to come out.

Why not download the .package one from the arma site? It's what I used and it worked fine.

I have another thread about respawning. The problem is that the Ubuntu Server has no GUI installed so I have to do everything terminal based. If you could give me instructions on how to install the .package package in the terminal, that would be great.

The .package is just a shell script. Execute it. If you don't have the autopackage tools installed yet, it will do so. If you have, it will tell you what you need to do instead.

Wait, where do I find the .package package. I am not finding it on the downloads page on the main site. Also, it says

Code: Select all

bash ./armagetronad(-dedicated)-<VERSION>.<SYSTEM>.package -t
What do I put for the version and system?

It's right in the downloads, under "Dedicated server". But it has a typo (someone should fix that). Direct link here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/armaget ... e/download
Save that file somewhere either with a web browser or with wget if you're running the server w/o a gui. (sounds like you are though). Then just run the file from the terminal (you might need to 'chmod +x' it, I don't remember off the top of my head). It'll ask you for the root password automatically if you didn't sudo it I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong), and then install automatically.
It installs itself as a service, but can also be run directly if you want to interact with it's console.

That's all that comes to mind. I just started playing with the server myself, and I run a different distro so I can't give you any ubuntu specific details.

What command do I use to start the script?

Code: Select all

./armagetronad-0.2.8.3.1.i486-generic-linux-gnu.package
I tried that but isn't working for me.

You probably have to give it executable permissions:

Code: Select all

chmod +x armagetronad-0.2.8.3.1.i486-generic-linux-gnu.package
./armagetronad-0.2.8.3.1.i486-generic-linux-gnu.package
should do it.

I figured out that I downloaded the wrong .package package (the game instead of the server). I downloaded the server version and got it working. Thank you all so much. Taco High Rubber is now up and running with the authentication working.
