Openarena installs but does not run to the menu
Did you download it from openarena.ws, or from some other place?
I dont have openarena or quake3 since I had Gentoo-hardened.
Excuse me, what do you mean with "I don't have openarena"?
I don't know Hardened Gentoo... with a quick search, I read it's a security-enhanced version of Gentoo Linux distro. Maybe those enhanced security plugins may block some mechanisms required by the game? I have no idea.
