Extraction failed - b0rsuk - 05-08-2008 I've just bought Penumbra:Plack Plague and the installer doesn't work. Code: b0rsuk@Machaka:~/zrzut$ ./penumbrablackplague-2567.sh I use Debian Lenny (testing). The first Black Plague demo had a problem with installer. This is most likely because my /tmp partition is quite small (512MB; I figured I don't really need more because I have 2GB RAM). However I was able to get installer working by simply running it in text terminal (switching with CTRL-F1). The second Plack Plague demo released a few days later worked just fine. Code: b0rsuk@Machaka:~/zrzut$ md5sum penumbrablackplague-2567.sh RE: Extraction failed - b0rsuk - 05-08-2008 Solved, but it wasn't trivial. I manually edited the file and changed TMPROOT dir from /tmp to some other directory with enough space. Still, I'm not impressed. I realise it's partially my fault, but it would be nice if the installer said something along the lines "Not enough space in /tmp". That would give a non-tech user a clue as to what look for or google. I said it wasn't trivial - because most editors couldn't open a file this large. I tried Kate, Kwrite, Kedit, nano, mcedit - all failed. Only vim worked, and I don't particularly like vim.
