Can't use Servers in ubuntu 14.04 LTS

[Metahunter69]

I'm using ubuntu 14.04 LTS and I can't use the server when I login there's nothing there why is that?

[MPx]

1. What server, if you created a server, but you cannot see it. You need to open the ports wich your servers is using. Default is 28763
http://wiki.cubers.net/action/view/Port_forwarding
2. If you don't see any servers on the list. Maybe you have installed AC for the repositories. That one it's an old version! (1.0.4) Download the newest (1.2.0.2) from the link on the top of this page.

Are you familiar with linux server commandline?

[X-Ray_Dog]

I'm guessing you bought a vps and are running ubuntu server? It's the little details that matter. If you aren't familiar with command line usage, you're going to have a moderate learning curve to overcome but it isn't too hard. If this is the case and you did just get a server, then you are likely starting out in your /home folder which of course will have nothing in it.

If not, then I have no idea what you're talking about.

I have the newer version what are you talking about?

No i'm not what is it?

OK l'll look at it.

If you are trying to host this from an Ubuntu desktop, you will shut the server down everytime you logout or turn off the computer...
You can host the server inside of a

[SELECT ALL] Code:

screen

though....

However, you would need to leave your computer running for the server to continue working...

But you haven't given us much to work with here...

We know your OS is Ubuntu 14.04

We still don't know for sure if this is a server that you are accessing through the terminal, or if you are trying to run the server on your desktop at home....

We don't know what you have, or have not, downloaded and in what version, or from where....

We have an indication that you may be inexperienced at hosting servers...

But you could help us a lot by being more specific about what you are logging in to and where....
The solutions will be vastly different depending upon what you wish to achieve....

Please.... Help us help you....

My advice:

Step 1) The file "bin_unix/linux_64_server" (or non-64, if you're that way inclined), rename it to what you want to easily identify your server with, because in your process list (top, htop, pidof, etc), you'll want to be able to easily identify which running process is your AC server.

2) Use this as a script file, add switches as necessary:

[SELECT ALL] Code:

#! /bin/bash
# Ensure that 'screen' is installed.

cd /path/to/mainacfolder
screen -d -m -S SERVERNAME bin_unix/SERVERNAME -cX -fXXXXX \
-n"SERVER DISPLAY NAME" \
-o"MOTD LINE 1
MOTD LINE 2"

[X-Ray_Dog]

You can change

[SELECT ALL] Code:

screen -d -m -S SERVERNAME bin_unix/SERVERNAME -cX -fXXXXX \

to

[SELECT ALL] Code:

screen -dmS SERVERNAME bin_unix/SERVERNAME -cX -fXXXXX \

because simplicity.

I have a feeling this thread has already gone over the OP's head guys....

We're talking about someone who is:

Are you familiar with linux server commandline?

No i'm not what is it?

...Not aware of the commandline...
While he probably won't have to compile on Ubuntu, he may have to sudo apt-get some dependencies, as well as extracting the archive, before we can even get to writing a shell script for the purpose....

[stef]

Metahunter69, did you do, what MPx told you to? In the very first answer to this thread?

Are you sure, you have version 1.2.0.2 of the game?

To check, start the game, press 't' and enter "/version". If it does not display "version = 1202", do what MPx told you to.

[MPx]

Wait a sec.. "Can't use Servers in ubuntu 14.04 LTS" This thread is related whit AC or Ubuntu? lol
We need more details.

[stef]

I am pretty sure, it has nothing to do with "running a server"...

Yes I'm sure I downloaded the installation from this site I didn't download it from anywhere else.

What can I details are you looking for?

Yes you are absolutely correct I'm trying to connect to a server so I can play with other players on that server. I can't connect to any of the servers because there aren't any available. It's supposed to look like this:

But the ubuntu 14.04 LTS version doesn't show that at all.It's just empty there is nothing in there at all.

Ok I just check it says 1104

No man I was taken from my Labtop that uses XP. Do I have to change or replace files to get it to work?

Your screenshot indicates that you've been banned from servers. Your IP address that you're using on this forum is as indicated (if it's different, please advise).

[X-Ray_Dog]

Ok I just check it says 1104

Well lets think now...

[Orynge]

Metahunter, you'll need to download the latest version. The masterserver on 1.1.0.4 has gone offline.

Banned? your joking right? This is a difference IP address i'm used the screenshot that was taken was to show what it would like if I'm on the severlist. By the way I just came out of a game a few mins ago so how can I be banned from the game huh? The laptop I'm using is the dell latitude D630.

Ok I just check it says 1104

Well lets think now...

What if the lunix download wasn't updated I mean that could be the problem.

Metahunter, you'll need to download the latest version. The masterserver on 1.1.0.4 has gone offline.

I did update to the latest version what are you talking about? Maybe the Linux version isn't updated at all I mean that's all I can come up with now. Wait could it be possible that I installed the newer version in old folder? If that's the case then I need to remove that old folder wherever it is uninstalled the entire game removing all the folders there and then reinstall the game, just one problem I don't know how to do it.

Hello
Give up Ubuntu. Believe me, Canonical will not get far ...
Returning to the topic ...

Do not use the automatic download of ubuntu. (programs center). This will bring you the old version of the game.

Go to the game page and download the files for linux.
Its oficial.. dont worry - download here
The files come compressed. Unzip them to an easy place to find.
Well, there is now a "readme" file. read it.
You must have permission to execute the "sh".
SH ? what is it? - help

You will run this file from the command line, maybe. Or you can open the terminal and drag this file to the terminal and it will run.

First things first ... Try these steps .. if that does not work come back here and describe ...

[stef]

Simply do, what the first answer in this thread told you to do:

Do NOT use the version from the debian (or ubuntu) repository. That is version 1.1.0.4 and its masterserver has gone down last year. It will not start working again - you can stop trying.

Instead, use the download link at the to of this page to download the current version: 1.2.0.2

Stop wasting everyone's time.

[MPx]

ok, to remove the previous version:
go to the center software and unistall it from there. Then go to your home folder and click on the menu bar Show/Show hidden files [or something like that, sorry I'm from Argentina and my OS is in Spanish] OK, once your hidden files are showing, search for the folder called .assaultcube_v1.0.4 and deleted or rename it if you want. Then Install the newest version of the game.

That's the same link I'm using to get the package what are you talking about?

I did and I bet some of the files in the package including the game file itself wasn't updated that's why every time I remove and reinstall the game and type in /version in the command line I'm always seeing 1104.

I removed the game and reinstalled it but to no avail be keeps on saying 1104. Maybe the Linux/Ubuntu package wasn't updated yet? Also I noticed that every time I installed the game before the installation it said that there were 4 new, 0 updated, 7 not upgraded in the terminal maybe that has something to do with.

If the repository is out of date, reinstalling from a repository won't do you any good.

Anyway, I install from my repository and works. I think this is generally how you install on (Ubuntu) linux -- I've never done it because I'm lazy. I might be wrong somewhere

It depends on the OS. For arch linux? 1104->1201 took 48 hours to update. 1201->1202 took less than 24 hours.

For Ubuntu? Good luck with that.
