Summary0001432: .ini File is Ignored
DescriptionAfter fresh install, and after editing my .ini file in "~/.zandronum" , the .ini file is not read. When I try to run Zandronum, I get:
Zandronum v1.1.1 - SVN revision 130718-2050 - SDL version
Compiled on Jul 18 2013

M_LoadDefaults: Load system defaults.
Cannot find a game IWAD (doom.wad, doom2.wad, heretic.wad, etc.).
Did you install Zandronum properly? You can do either of the following:

1. Place one or more of these wads in the same directory as Zandronum.
2. Edit your zandronum-username.ini and add the directories of your iwads
to the list beneath [IWADSearch.Directories]
Steps To Reproduce1. Install Zandronum
2. Edit the .ini file to search for IWADS in the directory with IWADS in them
3. Run Zandronum
Additional InformationLinux Mint is a fork of Ubuntu, so following the steps one would take with Ubuntu is how I have installed it. Also the steps to install Zandronum on Ubuntu will throw up many errors. I had to change the commands around drastically because they were so out of date.

Works for me? I store my iwads in /usr/games/Doom-Data/iwads so editing the ini should work just fine. The only thing I can think of is the iwads need to be either all lower case or all upper case for Zandronum to find them.

I don't see anything wrong the the Ubuntu installation instructions.

Doom-Data isn't a directory in /usr/games, and even after I put the files in /usr/games/Doom-Data/iwads, it still gives me the error message above. My iwads are all uppercase.

EDIT: Upon further inspection, it appears my DOOM wad didn't finish downloading. Maybe you guys could make a way for Zandronum to use the next IWAD it finds if the first one doesn't work. Also, I don't get the menu asking me to choose what IWAD I want to play. I have DOOM.WAD and DOOM2.WAD. Maybe it just hasn't been added to this version yet though.


Ok, with the Ubuntu instructions here's what happens.

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb'http://debian.drdteam.org/ [^]' stable multiverse'
Cannot add PPA: 'No JSON object could be decoded'.

^ This won't work because the command is malformed. It seems your just trying to add that line to the sources, so this would work:
echo 'deb'http://debian.drdteam.org/ [^]' stable multiverse' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

Next is the key command:

wget -O-'http://debian.drdteam.org/drdteam.gpg [^]' | sudo apt-key add

^I just took out some of the weird data and it worked fine:

wget'http://debian.drdteam.org/drdteam.gpg [^]' | sudo apt-key add drdteam.gpg

Everything else from there on works fine, but those two commands needed some editing.

My point was I use a custom location for my iwads, so editing the ini works fine for me. You'll want to check the md5sum of your DOOM2.WAD since it sounds like it's not correct either.

As far as the instructions go, it sounds like an issue with Linux Mint. Both work fine for me on Ubuntu 13.04:

OK

Those work around are indeed correct, but I have no idea why they would have to be used. apt-add-repository --help shows the syntax I'm using:
