Title: OpenArena Server on Ubuntu 12.04 Headless Server Post by: phoenter on August 30, 2012, 01:55:48 AM Hi,
I am trying to get Openarena to work without GUI on a Ubuntu headless server 12.04. I have install openerena-server (from the ubuntu repository) and done what I think is the usual configuration. I note that there is no openarena-server start-up script created in the /etc/init.d directory. When I run openarena from the commandline as an ordinary user, to listen on the default port I get: $openarena-server +set fs_game baseoa +set dedicated 1 +set net_port 27960 No SSE support on this machine ----- FS_Startup ----- Current search path: /home/seanboc/.openarena/baseoa /usr/lib/games/openarena/baseoa /usr/lib/games/openarena/baseoa/pak6-patch085.pk3 (559 files) /usr/lib/games/openarena/baseoa/pak6-misc.pk3 (229 files) /usr/lib/games/openarena/baseoa/pak5-TA.pk3 (139 files) /usr/lib/games/openarena/baseoa/pak4-textures.pk3 (1753 files) /usr/lib/games/openarena/baseoa/pak2-players.pk3 (669 files) /usr/lib/games/openarena/baseoa/pak2-players-mature.pk3 (231 files) /usr/lib/games/openarena/baseoa/pak1-maps.pk3 (100 files) /usr/lib/games/openarena/baseoa/pak0.pk3 (1042 files) ---------------------- 4722 files in pk3 files execing default.cfg com_zoneMegs will be changed upon restarting. execing q3config_server.cfg execing autoexec.cfg fs_game is write protected. Hunk_Clear: reset the hunk ok --- Common Initialization Complete --- IP: 127.0.0.1 IP: 192.168.1.15 IP: 192.168.122.1 IP6: ::1 IP6: fe80::216:d3ff:fe3a:5434%eth0 Opening IP socket: 192.168.1.15:27960 For now I am trying to setup a dedicated=1 server for an internal LAN and then connect to the wider world later on . The contents of my default.cfg are: sets dedicated 1 sets ".Admin" "My name" sets ".e-mail" "My email" sets ".Location" "My location" sets ".OS" "My OS" However, I cannot connect from a desktop to this server on the lcoal LAN. No firewalls are in place and i have run wireshark to see the UDP traffic. Can anyone help with debugging my problem as I am clearly a novice with openarena server installation.

(/map <mapname>) Server is actually running only when a map is loaded. Also check you effectively have some player slots available (sv_maxclients controls how many players -including bots- your server will accept... default value is 8).
Generic infos/help useful while creating a server: (DO NOT LINK) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Servers (DO NOT LINK) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Manual/Multiplayer PS: it appears you are using the old 0.8.5 release (I don't see pak6-patch088.pk3 in your log). Consider upgrading to 0.8.8 (adding the corresponding .pk3 file is enough, but also replacing 0.8.1/0.8.5 executables with those from 0.8.8 is advisable). You may also download OpenArena "manually" (official release), instead of using Ubuntu Repository (possibly modified release).

Thank you.
