Summary0001562: Zandronum on Ubuntu does not pass PWADs while path contains spaces
DescriptionPlaying on Ubuntu, I simply tried to entering in a server and, after having downloaded all the PWADs required, the execution did not continue after reporting that the server had a certain number of WADs (the ones I just dl) which I, from his perspective, was missing.

I noticed that the path where he downloaded, also included in the folders in which he would search for WADs, contained some spaces, so I move my files into another folder without them in the name. This fixed the problem.

 Confirmed in Zandronum 1.2. Following command line won't load udmx.wad:
/usr/bin/zandronum -iwad /home/test/.zandronum/doom2.wad -file '/home/test/Katalog ze spacja/udmx.wad'

 I can also reproduce the problem with the latest version of ZDoom (2.8pre-237-g7dbf4ec) on Linux. This problem also applies to IWADs.

 If I am not wrong, I see from skyrimguy's link that the use of \ into command line (regardless of the fact that by acting with a purely graphical procedure, i.e. by opening Doomseeker via interface and selecting the server from the list as usual, without the need of opening a terminal, the backslash is inserted or not), does not fix.

 This is not a zdoom/zandronum bug but a linux feature.

When you want to invoke the folder with the space, you should use '\ ' in place of the space in the folder name. Like this:

/usr/bin/zandronum -iwad /home/test/.zandronum/doom2.wad -file /home/test/Katalog\ ze\ spacja/udmx.wad


Also, when you write a command in the terminal, if you press twice the 'tab' key, you should be able to autocomplete/see the list of the file names.

[edit]just saw the other comments ... strange. I'll test it.

[edit2]I can't reproduce if I run zandronum from /usr/games/zandronum folder. Sounds like a linking problem ...

AFAIK this is simply not the proper way to feed a path with spaces to a Linux binary. Spaces should be escaped like Edward-san said.

 Solution:

Edit /usr/bin/zandronum and change $*

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/games/zandronum /usr/games/zandronum/zandronum $*

to "$@"

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/games/zandronum /usr/games/zandronum/zandronum "$@"

save change and try the following:
Folder names:

I W A D $ & ( )


P W A D $ & ( )

IWAD: doom2.wad
PWAD: hr2final.wad

zandronum -iwad '/home/<your username>/.zandronum/I W A D $ & ( )/doom2.wad' -file '/home/<your username>/.zandronum/P W A D $ & ( )/hr2final.wad'


zandronum -iwad /home/<your username>/.zandronum/I\ W\ A\ D\ \$\ \&\ \(\ \)/doom2.wad -file /home/<your username>/.zandronum/P\ W\ A\ D\ \$\ \&\ \(\ \)/hr2final.wad

it should work now.

Anything that tells the command line tokenizer that a parameter has a space in it will work. Be it double quotes (evaluates variables), single quotes (in case your path has $ characters in it), or escaping.

I've issued an update to the packages with skyrimguy's suggestion. (On a related note: while having spaces in a path isn't a technical problem, but I would still recommend kicking the habit. If one gets into advanced terminal usage they will make life difficult.)
