HeyYO Guys :) soo now i have Linux Ubuntu... I downloaded OA 0.8.8, and extracted it to my Desktop.. it wont work :(. It shows :Archive:  /home/frane/Radna površina/Pasje govno, i macja pisaka/openarena-0.8.8/openarena.exe
[/home/frane/Radna površina/Pasje govno, i macja pisaka/openarena-0.8.8/openarena.exe]
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
note:  /home/frane/Radna površina/Pasje govno, i macja pisaka/openarena-0.8.8/openarena.exe may be a plain executable, not an archive
zipinfo:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/frane/Radna površina/Pasje govno, i macja pisaka/openarena-0.8.8/openarena.exe or
          /home/frane/Radna površina/Pasje govno, i macja pisaka/openarena-0.8.8/openarena.exe.zip, and cannot find /home/frane/Radna površina/Pasje govno, i macja pisaka/openarena-0.8.8/openarena.exe.ZIP, period.

You don't run OpenArena.exe, you run openarena.i386 or openarena.x86_64, depending if you use a 32 or 64 bit version...

and if that still doesn't work, chmod u+x the openarena binaries.

If I'm not entirely mistaken Ubuntu has packages for OpenArena 0.8.5 in universe.
Try searching for "openarena" in the Ubuntu software centre or use plain
Code:
sudo aptitude install openarena

If interested you will need to apply the current 0.8.8 patch, and iirc its pk3 should go into fs_basepath, not fs_homepath. You might want to take a look at the DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Manual/Install]manual installation (http://([b) or DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/LinuxInstall]Linux installation (http://([b) wiki page. Feel free to correct them if they're outdated.

Oh, yeah, you forgot to tell us which version of Ubuntu you have.

Of course it would not run if you put it to directory with a name Pasje govno, i macja pisaka (https://translate.google.com/?hl=en&tab=wT#auto/en/Pasje%20govno%2C%20i%20macja%20pisaka).
I mean, spaces in directory name :P

The game does not care about spaces in paths, as long as you put them in quotes where needed (i.e. invocation and configs).
