More On Ut2004...

I just tried to install the DVD on Suse9.1 personal (just got that up an running too).I run into the same problem with installing ut2k4 on dvd will try to shut off the and do manual may need help tho.I have never mounted the dvd rom manually.

I got this error also. I resolved it by unmounting the cd, inserting new cd, and remounting each time it asked for a new cd.

kailua:/media # umount -l /media/cdrecorder/
kailua:/media # mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrecorder/
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
kailua:/media # umount -l /media/cdrecorder/
kailua:/media # mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrecorder/
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
kailua:/media #

the DVD edition is just an aggregation of the CD versions six CD files, but why is SUSE confused by this when windows copes quite nicely thank you very much?

Hi all. I'm also trying to install the 6 Unreal2k4 CD's, to no avail on SuSE 9.1 Personal. I have two drives: cd-rom (/media/cdrom) & a dvd / cd writer combo. The first disc installs fine; only takes a few seconds before it asks for cd 2. I read in an earlier post that someone had to edit the fstab file & then unmount / re-mount for each cd.
It asks for cd 2, I put it in the /media/cdrom drive, but it keeps asking for cd 2. :unsure:
I tried a suggestion in a previous post --
# umount -l /media/cdrom
put cd2 in, then
# mount -t /media/cdrom
but get nowhere with that approach.

I've only been using Linux for a couple months, and I really want to know how to do get this game installed. All pointers appreciated. If you need any more info, I'll be happy to get it for you.

Thanks.

very simple (hope it works in DVD edition the same way ). You have to set an environment variable called SETUP_CDROM and let it point to your DVD drive.

So e.g.:
export SETUP_CDROM=/media/dvd

should do the job. I had exactly the same error with the CD version!

Dude, I could kiss you! In a totally hetero way of course...

That simple command ends my tale of UT2004 install woe.

lol

Well I'm glad that we could solve it

Thanks Vir@s,

The export command sorted it for me (SuSE 9.2 pro)

export SETUP_CDROM=/media/dvd

But could anyone tell me what it does or if it changes anything perminantly that needs to be changed back?

Thanks

hi guys just got around the problem for installing ut 2004 on suse 9.1 (I have the cd version) if you log in as root and than create a symbolic link to you cd/dvd drive by right clicking your desktop and choosing create new device ,create new cdrom and than choose the device tab scrool to /device /cdrom or dvdrom than click ok anew icon will appear on your desktop. while running the setup for ut when you are prompted to insert the next disk just press the cdrom eject button put the next cdrom in and than use your new icon to mount the cd rom by right clicking and selecting the mount tab you might be prompted that the cd was mounted with read only settings click ok .than at the ut prompt for next disk click next cd should now load right away B) this was how I got the cds to execute properly for me hope this helps
