Linux Ubuntu - how to update to 2.4

Postby liolak » Sat Mar 01, 2008 12:35 am

I have the version on nexuiz that is installed by ubuntu when you do:

sudo apt-get install nexuiz nexuiz-music

I have tried to update to the new 2.4 by doing a :

sudo apt-get update
and
sudo apt-get upgrade

but it does not work

what is the command to update to the latest version of nexuiz ? if there is any.
if not what is the best way to play the 2.4 version ? :?:

2.4 is not in the repos yet. Basically (in ubuntu) nexuiz is synced with debian's repos. So you will not see 2.4 until it appears in the debian repo (which could take a few months unfortunately)

DON'T FOLLOW THIS ADVICE. Ubuntu could overwrite it that way at any time.

Just extract the zip and run Nexuiz from there. Much less hassle, and not going to break.
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.
