16:43 - keesfani: hi I made that topic about running a blockland server on linux
16:43 - »TheBlackParrot«: i saw
16:43 - keesfani: yeah so I am very new to linux like I bought the vps yesterday
16:44 - »TheBlackParrot«: do you know what distro it's running or do you have no idea
16:44 - keesfani: well I dont know what a distro is :v
16:44 - »TheBlackParrot«: what linux is it
16:44 - »TheBlackParrot«: debian
16:44 - »TheBlackParrot«: ubuntu
16:44 - »TheBlackParrot«: centos
16:44 - »TheBlackParrot«: etc.
16:44 - keesfani: ubuntu
16:45 - »TheBlackParrot«: aaaand are you able to get a desktop running or is it just the console
16:45 - keesfani: Ubuntu 13.04 64Bit
16:45 - keesfani: just console
16:45 - »TheBlackParrot«: ok, one sec
16:46 - »TheBlackParrot«: the issue with blockland on wine without a desktop (you reeeally should have found one with windows if you had the chance)
16:47 - »TheBlackParrot«: if you run it without a desktop, you won't have access to blockland's console pretty much at all
16:47 - »TheBlackParrot«: unless you use eval or have some PHP scripted remote console
16:48 - »TheBlackParrot«: so you could try not using a desktop at all, or install a few things on your computer that will let you get in to a desktop on the server
16:49 - keesfani: let's try it without a desktop
16:49 - »TheBlackParrot«: alrighty
16:49 - »TheBlackParrot«: do you know how to install things
16:49 - keesfani: apt-get install xxxx
16:49 - »TheBlackParrot«: yes
16:50 - »TheBlackParrot«: install xvfb, x11-xkb-utils, and xserver-xorg-core
16:50 - keesfani: ok
16:50 - »TheBlackParrot«: also xterm
16:53 - keesfani: ok
16:53 - keesfani: did it
16:54 - »TheBlackParrot«: you may need to install screen as well
16:54 - keesfani: I already have that
16:54 - keesfani: I used it for minecraft servers which I got working
16:54 - »TheBlackParrot«: oh ok
16:55 - »TheBlackParrot«: type in "nano /usr/bin/blockland"
16:55 - »TheBlackParrot«: then copy paste what i send here into it
16:56 - keesfani: it's an empty file for me btw
16:56 - »TheBlackParrot«: it's supposed to be lol
16:56 - keesfani: ok good
16:56 - »TheBlackParrot«: #!/bin/sh
screen -dmS blockland su blockland -c 'GAMEMODE="Crumbling_Arena"; xvfb-run --auto-servernum --server-num=1 xterm -e "wine ~/Blockland/Blockland.exe ptlaaxobimwroe -dedicated 1 -gamemode $GAMEMODE"'
16:56 - »TheBlackParrot«: you can change that GAMEMODE thing to whatever you'd like to run
16:56 - keesfani: It's one line for me
16:57 - »TheBlackParrot«: yep
16:57 - keesfani: is it white space sensitive?
16:57 - »TheBlackParrot«: yes
16:57 - keesfani: ok im gonna put custom
16:57 - »TheBlackParrot«: be sure to edit your addon prefs then, it'll use those
16:58 - »TheBlackParrot«: once you're through, you need to add a "blockland" user and a "blockland" group
16:58 - keesfani: ok
16:58 - keesfani: add where?
16:58 - »TheBlackParrot«: uh hold on
16:59 - »TheBlackParrot«:
https://help.ubuntu.com/13.04/serverguide/user-management.html#adding-deleting-users16:59 - keesfani: btw it says GAMEMODE="Crumbling_Arena" is that good?
16:59 - »TheBlackParrot«: change that from "Crumbling_Arena" to "Custom"
16:59 - keesfani: ok
17:00 - »TheBlackParrot«: then chmod +x /usr/bin/blockland
17:00 - keesfani: so adduser Blockland
17:00 - keesfani: and
17:01 - »TheBlackParrot«: without the capital
17:01 - keesfani: addgroup blockland
17:01 - keesfani: ok
17:01 - »TheBlackParrot«: yes
17:01 - »TheBlackParrot«: and then adduser blockland blockland
17:01 - »TheBlackParrot«: so it's added to the group
17:02 - keesfani: adduser blockland gives me an error: "adduser: The group `blockland' already exists.
"
17:02 - »TheBlackParrot«: that's fine
17:02 - »TheBlackParrot«: i said that in case ubuntu didn't do that automatically
17:02 - keesfani: ok
17:02 - »TheBlackParrot«: what you need to do now is make a directory in /srv for blockland
17:02 - »TheBlackParrot«: mkdir /srv/blockland
17:03 - keesfani: ok done
17:03 - »TheBlackParrot«: see if you have a /etc/passwd file
17:03 - »TheBlackParrot«: ls -al /etc | grep passwd
17:04 - keesfani: -root@keesfani:~# ls -al /etc | grep passwd

17:04 - keesfani: it has stuff
17:05 - »TheBlackParrot«: find blockland's entry, should be at the bottom
17:05 - »TheBlackParrot«: change "/home/blockland" to "/srv/blockland"
