Hello I'm sure that it is a mistake from me but I dont have sounds. I am using equake-linux-1.01b557 waiting for fQuake, OpenGl acceleration.Any ideas ? thx all

in my case one thing helped
as root, you have to chown the /dev/dsp device to your user name. for example: chown meta /dev/dsp

often there is a 'sound' group in /etc/groups and you have to add your username to the group

Thanks
Well the command is ok but i still dont have sounds

EDIT : I dont have /etc/groups

Its strange but i have sounds with fteqw ... well but it seems to be a bad client : unclear all in one file ... and i cant lauch ezquake because of a lib required but it is installed ...

fte is a bad client because it's just one file?

Where is the cfg, where should i make the textures and all .. its not easy the first time i suppose

fte may have lacking support, but that has nothing to do with if it's a good client or not

Of course i wanted to say its not a good client for newbs i suppose Talking on it, do you think there will be a linux version of fQuake ? Maybe sounds would work with ezquake

Well some help for equake (so fuhquake) soundless when fte works fine ?

well look at the log in the console when you load ezquake

you should see lines like:

'sound: attempting to initialise ALSA...'
'sound: falling back to OSS...'

if you don't get the 'failling back to OSS' line - and your sound still isn't working - try using '-noalsa'

what lib does it say it is missing btw, that you say you have installed?

I just have it : /dev/dsp: Broken pipe when i load fuh and i have it when i load ez error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
which is installed

the /dev/dsp problem, it sounds like you are running 'arts' (kde) or 'esd' (gnome) sound daemons which are blocking /dev/dsp

i'm afraid its up to you to resolve that as i have no experience of these

however, ezquake can use alsa sound which may help you in this case

perhaps the reason libpcre is not being found is because the directory it is located in is not being looked in

do `locate libpcre.so.0` and then do export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/libpcre then try running ezquake

I have found it on the internet, it concerns my distrib :
"Hello all, I'm trying to run Snort but when I try to start it I get the message Libpcre.so.0 is missing. I've installed libpcre 5.0, so I'm not sure what is wrong. Any help would be great.

Thank You

I just wanted to update the post, I had to add /usr/local/lib to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and I can now start Snort ](*,)"

So i do export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib but I still have an error when loading ezq oO in fact theres no lipcre in /usr/local/lib and locate libpcre.so.0 is useless, no results

try:

find /usr -name "libpcre*.so*"

I have libpcre.so.3, libpcre.so.3.11.0 and libpcre.so in usr/lib but no libpcre.so.0 WTF ?

just (as root) try:

ln -s /usr/lib/libpcre.so.3 /usr/lib/libpcre.so.0

this will just make .0 point to .3

Very nice guy It works gr8 now Thank you very much for helping me for the beginning =) I'm very happy

EDIT : well ez is not compatible with fuh, ill start from scratch now

its mostly compatible with fuh...

Well i cant use my textures with ezQ, theyre in qw/textures but no way, isnt it the right folder or must I edit some config ? thx

you need libpng installed for png textures

add '-showliberrors' to your cmdline

libpng is ok and almost of my textures are in tga

should work then especially tga

naming format and position are exactly the same as fuhquake

the only other thing i can think of is that you have moved to linux from a windows installation and you have uppercase texture names (on linux everything should be lowercase)

Well the textures worked fine with fuh so I expect a wrong directory problem
See : http://img217.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ezquake0003zb.jpg Im sure that graphix were better with fuh its a bit ugly ...
And here the perfect exemple : http://img133.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ezquake0012qe.jpg

Oh thanks oldman!, that fixes for me. (but we have corrupted some ambient sound with other client..dawn!)

hm but you could always use directsound, I forgot the command line, was something like echo fuhquake-gl.glx > /proc/asound/blah

anyone remember this trick?

there are no directsound for linux
that trick was a must for fuhquake + teamspeak. Since ezQuake use ALSA (also you can use OSS if you want, but i'm sure you dont want it ) no need for this trick to run ezQ+ALSA.
