I tried the bin package (x86_64) for client but nothing i had would open it.... of course im new to all things linux so maybe i was doing something wrong

you probably don't have autopackage installed.

use command line, move into the dir you downloaded the file to and type:

chmod 755 armagetronad-0.2.8.2.x86_64-generic-linux-gnu.package

(assuming that's the file you have)

Then type:

./armagetronad-0.2.8.2.x86_64-generic-linux-gnu.package -t

and see what happens. It worked for me. Should download autopackage then install it.
If I remember I did get an error about the /etc/armagetronad/bash file not being found. I had to do something like

ln -s /bin/bash /etc/armagetronad/bash

Then it installed fine. See how you get on.

try:

ln -s /bin/bash /usr/local/bin/bash

then run

./armagetronad-0.2.8.2.x86_64-generic-linux-gnu.package -t

again.

Code: Select all

luke@localhost:~$ sudo armagetronad
Illegal instruction
luke@localhost:~$

Why would you run arma as root? Try as normal user (omit the sudo)

Just installed the 0.2.8.2.1 package on a clean install of Kubuntu 6.06.1 and got the same error:

Code: Select all

armaganjori@nesk:~$ armagetronad
Illegal instruction
anjori@nesk:~$

My search for a new distro is proving difficult as no functioning Armagetron install automatically eliminates Kubuntu as a candidate.

have you tried:

/usr/bin/armagetronad

do you get the same?

Same thing, yes.

If you downloaded a x86_64 binary, are you using a 64bit processor? If you aren't using one you should download the regular x86 one.

I've made a stupid mistake like that in the past when multiple builds were listed on the beta page, but I just double checked and based on the OS autodetection script on the download page, I was indeed presented with and installed the correct package for my architecture; i686.
