Nothing happens when I run PB2 on Linux
« on: June 06, 2006, 03:31:56 PM »
okay, i extracted the tarball into my home directory and i think i executed the paintball2 executible file but nothing happened. i even told it to open in a new window, it asked if im sure if i wanted to execute and i hit yes. then konqurer just opened a blank window... heres a snapshot of the folder i extracted it to...



& when i boot up knoppix the driver it auto configs is a generic radeon... will it still work with pb2? (i noticed it runs sluggish when doing movies & any little 3d game, but it shouold atleast boot up pb2 for now)

PS: i have a 3 gig permanant image on my harddrive for knoppix so i can install stuff in my /home dir and still have it next time

I recommend installing a package for whatever video card you have.  I find that double clicking from a file manager isn't best, ./paintball2 from a terminal will show any errors.
