so i just finished my ownage game, and i pressed f12, saw screenshot taken blah blah

checked quakedir to report for the match and wtf o_O no ss.... So i went to the server to download the demos, "Could not save blah.tmp"

Now im guessing this is to do with permissions on my quake dir? Can someone please enlighten me on how to sort this out asap
Thanks, Jack.

edit: I have tried chmod'ing 777 and a+x on /usr/games/Quake but still no joy! :'(

Hard drive not full is it?

This is the kind of stuff why I put games into my home directory.

Can you do "touch /usr/games/Quake/test && rm /usr/games/Quake/test" or does it give a permission error?

hm, just done sudo mv /usr/games/Quake ~/Quake and tried the touch-test, it succesfully made a newfile in the dir called test, yet im still unable to download any demos from geeky (or any server for that matter) server

SOLVED! I was an idiot in thinking that chmod 777 ~/Quake would apply to all sub-dir's also, once i 777'd my actual demos dir, it worked fine. panic over!

chmod 777 is not advisable. You just made all files executable which might lead to undesired side-effects. It was probably a ownership issue.

IF a "ls -l" for the Quake dir shows a different user name than yours, then "chown"ing to your user might have been the better idea. Maybe for the future.
