I went and bought the 6CD verion of the game emerged it and followed the instructions that adds the CD key.
but runniing from console gets me the splash screen and black screen then
Code:

WARNING: ALC_EXT_capture is subject to change!
appMsgf(): Your CD key appears to be invalid.  You will need to reinstall the game and enter your CD key to fix this problem.
Signal: SIGTRAP [trap]
Aborting.

I can cat the cdkey file as the user running the game and I have tried a couple of varriations of the CD key (one of the Bs could be an 8 ), but the other characters are pretty clear.
I have read the 20 or so posts reporting the same problem and it always comes back to creating the cdkey file and making sure the user has permissions to read it.
My log does not report any problem reading the cdkey file and also has a couple of extra developer trace back lines.
any ideas ?
Code:

cat ~/.ut2004/System/UT2004.log

Did you enter the key in all CAPS and use the dashes?

It must be. Unfortunately, I wouldn't have a clue what it might be.

unfortunately I was wrong, someone very kindly messenged me a valid CD key, entered that and ut2k4 starts up fine.

I then took the cdkey on my cd packaging and stuck it under a QX3 USB microscope, and went through every single character and confirmed beyond reasonble doubt what it was.
Then double and tripple check what I entered.
I also ran
Code:
od -t x1
on the cdkey files and compare the two, same characters at the end and same characters for the dashes, and same length.

So I am screwed, I will contact Atari(closed right now) but I bet they make me send the whole thing back for a replacement.

(Microscope works really well with Linux and I was viewing the cdkey at 60x magnification, 200x is to much)

Atari were very good and just gave me a new CD key over the phone, which works.

But now I have the same problem I had with the demo, the game pauses for half a second everytime a weapon is picked up for the first time.
(do not respond to this issue here, I will continue the thread I started previously)
