.run issues
« on: June 01, 2005, 03:27:14 am »
The issue of the .run not working was resolved with the assistance of THIS help file:
http://metawire.org/~jon/Planeshift_3.010_linuxbinary_howto

the 3.010 .run file creates a temporary directory, extracts the temporary files, and deletes them immediatly after creating them, and then says its done, it dosn\'t ask me to agree to the liscence agreement or open a installer.

I\'m running:
AMD 3200XT
1024MB DDR ram
ATI Radeon 9600XT
SBlive (disabled)

with:
XandrOS (Debian-based)

in console you can always use control + c to stop or control + z to pause your action. control + z also puts your job in the background, which can be seen through \"jobs\" and make back to the foreground and continue  by \"fg\".
just break after the package is unpacked .. go to folder an install manually.
but this problem is strange ... can you give some errors from console?

greets

It surely gives you some message before, you should paste the console
output you get while running the installer. It must be some system specific
issue, since you are the first and only person who reports such weird behaviour.
You should start at checking that your system PATH variable is correctly set:
echo $PATH, then you should check if in that PATH you have the dialog program:
which dialog

If it is not displaying the license, it is most likely lack of this program.


Regards.

The issue is already resolved,

it gave me no error messages,
once the files were created by the .run installer they were supposed to be extracted by the .run install file as well, however it wasn\'t preforming this action, it was skipping it and moving on to delete the files it created and assumed it had completed its task sucessfuly,

I ended up having to extract all the compressed files from the .run manually threw the console, and then manually uncompress them.

The readme file link at the top of my initial post explains how to do this for those that don\'t know.

That installer requires dialog program to work. Install the dialog program, then just run the installer.
Also you have to make sure your download is not corrupted, the best way is comparing files sizes with these listed at: http://platyna.xpam.de/planeshift/.

I checked to be sure but I have dialog installed.  Also the installer is the correct size and I have downloaded it 11 times now with the same issue.

Well, then try to update your tar archiver and don\'t use --target. That option will
be removed soon anyway. You will be able to specify an install directory during
the installation process.

I have the same problem :
sh PlaneShift_CBV0.3.010.run
Creating directory ps.cb.03.010
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Planeshift Crystal Blue Version 3.010.....Extraction failed.
Terminated

Since yesterday, I updated my whole Suse 9.1 (this takes a while with UMTS :( ), hoping this would update tar. Well, now I get the same problem.
I will search through this forum further but if someone of you could help me I\'d be very thankful,           ilBaal

Akhem.

First check, if You have enough free space in the filesystem, where .run file resides. It self-decompresses to subdirectory ps.cb.03.010
Actually, I\'m able to reproduce the problem by filling my /home filesystem with some garbage.

Cheers.

Greetz,

there is enough space in the filesystem. The tar-version is 1.13.25-298.

                                 THX in advance, ilBaal

Well, try to upgrade tar, also see if you have enought space in your /tmp
directory and basic stuff like binutils installed - some distributions are
spreading them in a few packages. I can\'t reproduce this error.
