MystIII-Exile

[deltamoins]

Hi everybody,
I'd like to play Myst III - Exile with wine on Ubuntu 8.04 but the installation doesn't work.
In fact I have the Trilogy DVD edition with Myst, Riven and Exile and I saw that Riven works well : http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=10719.
But my problem is a bit weird : I can't find any exe file on the DVD to install Exile !!! Riven is easy to install because there is simply a myst2 directory on the DVD with a setup in it and so on... But it isn't the case for Exile.
I tried the autorun.exe at the root of the DVD, and it launched the choosing screen with the three games but when I click on Exile it tells me "don't find exile file"... and stops...
Did someone try to play Myst III ? Can you help me ?
Thanks in advance

Could be the dvd was mastered wrong. Try
mounting it with the norock option. e.g.

sudo umount /media/cdrom
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -o norock

Hi,
I didn't manage to remount my cdrom. It tolds me (french translation from the terminal) that the DVD was protected in writting...
But I find some exe files but the DVD is a such mess that I don't understand which install MystIII
And with Window$, it worked well so the DVD is good no ?

There really should be a way to remount the cdrom, maybe eject the disk
or otherwise put it out of use before trying, sounds like it's
complaining about a lock.

OK so in fact what I meant was I didn't manage to remount my cdrom by the command proposed by Dan Kegel :

sudo umount /media/cdrom
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -o norock

The second command doesn't work because of writting protection problems as I said.
Of course if I eject and put back my cdrom it will re-mount by itself well...
Perhpas I don't understand what yoi said gnivler... What do you mean "put it out of use" ?

To remount your cdrom, try :

Code: Select all

sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -o norock -o ro

It will mount it in read only, so the write permission will not be tested.

My unix is really rusty, I'm getting back into the swing. All I meant
was to try and make sure nothing was using the CD, but if the umount is
working, my advice has no relevance. I just did some playing around,
I'm also using Ubuntu hardy, give this a shot:

sudo umount /media/cdrom0
sudo mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0

There are symlinks for /media/cdrom > /media/cdrom0 and I got error
trying to mount /dev/cdrom (also a symlink to /dev/scd0) so I went with the block device? I am not
even sure that's the right term. But I did have errors similar to yours
until I used these commands. I still get a message about mounting it
as read-only, which isn't surprising since it's a CDROM.

mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only

Sorry Tlarhices we replied at the same time.

No need to be sorry about that, I think it's better to have 2 answers than none ^^

But using the command you have provided :

Code: Select all

sudo mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 

You are not using the norock option which was the original reason Dan Kegel provided the command line way :

Could be the dvd was mastered wrong. Try mounting it with the norock option.

Code: Select all

sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -o norock -o ro

Should mount it with the norock option and keep it happy by asking for read only access.

Woops! Good eye. I actually used -o norock in my terminal but while retyping it I didn't include it. I'm guessing the -o ro would suppress the warning I received for not using it on a RO medium? Thanks

Thanks to gnivler and Tlarhices for help.
I'd just tried

Code: Select all

sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -o norock -o ro

but it doesn't work...
Here could be an answer of the reason :

Code: Select all

 dmesg | grep mount
[ 8258.102945] UDF-fs: Partition marked readonly; forcing readonly mount
[ 8279.374126] udf: bad mount option "norock" or missing value
[ 8333.641370] UDF-fs: Partition marked readonly; forcing readonly mount

And if you look in the man of mount, the norock option doesn't exist...
Perhaps, it's relevant now : my Linux is Ubuntu 8.04.
Here is my version of mount : mount (util-linux-ng 2.13.1)
In the AppDB part of the site someone has the same problem, so I post a reply and see...
But your new ideas will be welcome of course

Try unhide instead of norock.

sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -onohide,ro

dammit, I always get nohide and unhide mixed up. (nohide is for nfs,
unhide is for cd-roms.)
So:

sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -ounhide,ro
