i install quake2 on my ubuntu 7.04 feisty from synaptic, both package quake2 & quake2-data but when i run, came out this error:

$ quake2
...

Couldn't load pics/colormap.pcx
...

here are my step2 to fix it:

1. $ mv /usr/lib/games/quake2/baseq2 /usr/lib/games/quake2/baseq2.bak
2. is to copy baseq2 folder from your Quake2 CD to /usr/lib/games/quake2
3. $ cp -R /cdrom/baseq2 /usr/lib/games/quake2/
4. $ mv /usr/lib/games/quake2/baseq2/Pak0.pak /usr/lib/games/quake2/baseq2/pak0.pak
5. $ cp /usr/lib/games/quake2/baseq2.bak/game* /usr/lib/games/quake2/baseq2
6. $ mv /usr/share/games/quake2/baseq2 /usr/share/games/quake2/baseq2.bak
7. $ ln -s /usr/lib/games/quake2/baseq2 /usr/share/games/quake2/baseq2

then try to run $ quake2
the game can be run now but still got no sound, and here is the error:

SNDDMA_Init: Could not mmap /dev/dsp.

here how to run quake with proper sound (at least for my computer):

$ quake2 +set snddriver ao +set snddevice oss

or add these lines to /home/you/.quake2/baseq2/config.cfg

set snddriver "ao"
set snddevice "oss"

here is the tweak to make it fullscreen

set vid_ref "softsdl"
set vid_fullscreen "1"

and here are some cheat i still remember from old days, type “~” would bring quake2 console, type:
