Is it set as an executable?
If so then use terminal to run it sudo ./file-extension.run
You have to have terminal open then run the command.

I just right click and use properties to make it executable.hcore wrote:ok i ran sudo chmod 555 ./quake.run in terminal, and it didnt say anything else, and now the file has a little lock on it =S
i tried sudo sh ./extension.run but it say it doesnt find the command =S
It's under permissions and has a check box.
The default installation directory is /usr/local/games/etqw.<releasetag>
But if it installed correctly all you have to do is type 'etqw' in a console and it should launch your game. (EDIT: no it doesn't you need to type the full path : /usr/local/games/etqw.demo/etqw , just make an alias or a launcher or something)
If you messed up, the installer should clean up after itself, if not, I'd try deleting the usr/local/games/etqw.<releasetag> folder and start the installer again (I don't know if that is the recommended way but that's what I do)
Note that the installer says you need a low latency kernel for optimal performance, I don't have one either but I'm in need of one (audio editing) and I'll try to compile me one as soon as I find out how to do it.
I normally install games in my user folder (easier to add mods and stuff) so if you've changed the install folder try running
sudo find / -name '*etqw*'
and it should point you in the right direction.
