 Posted: Thu Aug 12, 2004 11:08 pm Post subject: Quake3 and ET punkbuster problem. |
 |
|
For some reason I don't think the permissions on the punkbuster files; I can enable punkbuster when I run games as root, but when I am a non-root user and try and enable, nothing at all happens, the 'Enable Punkbuster' button doesn't change and /pb_cl_enable in console does nothing.
I tried chmoding ~/.etwolf/pb, ~/.q3a/pb, /opt/enemy-territory/pb, and /opt/quake3/pb, to 777 and owned as non-root user; but I still can't enable punkbuster. |

Same problem here....this one needs a bump.
I've also tried changing all the permissions more than once and failed.

| Change to ~/.etwolf/pb and run ./pbweb.x86 (and wait). |

i think pbweb.x86 is broken, it's in the correct directory and I do this before executing.
| Code: | chmod a+x pbweb.x86
./pbweb.x86
|
and I get a permission denied even when run as root

I'm getting exactly the same problem. Any help would be really apreciated.
Thanks |

| It's a long shot but check the permissions of your file tree.... be sure the executables are so marked, and do a chown -R too. |

I did what you sugested me but not luck 
I changed my /opt/enemy-territory owner to my user and let the group as it was before. Now it's a little bit better, at least I can run the pbweb.x86 from opt, but nevertheless I'm still getting problems.
this is the last part of the pbweb.log with the problem

Mac Edition not needed for this game

Also I tried changing the value of cl_punkbuster in the game's console using this
and I get a mesage saying that that varible is read only, so my main problem that is not being able to activate punkbuster stays the same! 
Any further sugestions?

I would start afresh... backup ~/.etwolf, delete the directory completely and run et. Still having problems I would do the same to the et install itself.
For what it's worth I have a pb directory in ~/.etwolf/pb and /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/pb. They have different contents but don't conflict for me... but maybe for you? |

I did it, both of your sugestions now at leats I'm able to activate punkbuster when I'm logged as root, but I'm not able to run etf that is what I really want. When I run the etf script as root everythings seems ok but is only et what get loaded 
Anyone has had this problem too?
if I tried to load et as a user I still can't enable punkbuster and if I try to run etf script I get this error

Any of the other guys with the same problem was able to solve it? |

Hello All
I finally found the origin of the problem! 
the problem was in the fstab
my home directoy is in another partition and it didn't have the exec flag 
So to fix it, open your /etc/fstab and at your home directoy add the exec flag.
| Code: |
/dev/sda9 /home reiserfs noatime,user,exec 0 0
|
Hope, this helps someone else!  |

i am also having this issue with punkbuster problem, i have added the exec command to fstab, did env-update, source /etc/profile, trying to plat i get the same error, the very very first quake3 update 1.32 i did had no issues with punkbuster, i installed it with root and was playing quake3 with a normal user, except i never really played on servers with punkbuster was trying to update without success so i went to evenbalance.com and did the manual update, i guess that fucked up my system because now i cant enable punkbuster, even if i unmerge quake3 and merge it again i still have the same problem. so perhaps you guys can be more of help?
cheers
