The linux sys admin guide gets the source code from [https://github.com/ioquake/ioq3](https://github.com/ioquake/ioq3) and compiles it. On Debian amd64 (aka x64), it will compile x86\_64 (aka x64) by default.

You haven’t provided any details on the issues encountered, so I don’t know if this is the issue you had:

When I set up a game server on Debian Jessie a few months ago the ioq3 Sys Admin Guide did not work. Running `screen` after `su - ioq3srv` would error about tty being inaccessible. `Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/0' - please check.`

The direct solution was to run `script /dev/null` before running screen, but it’s kind of annoying to have to run each time.

After research I ended up with creating `/home/zturtleman/screen_ioq3srv.sh`. I run it as my login user to either start the game server or reattach to already running game server in screen.

```auto
#!/bin/sh

# Start or reattach to screen session as user ioq3srv
# the start_server.sh script is only run if session is not running

# Press Ctrl+a then d to detach from screen.

sudo -u ioq3srv script -q -c 'screen -d -R -U /home/ioq3srv/start_server.sh' /dev/null

```

question , I have seta g\_botsfile “bot.txt” and the bot file only in baseq3  
inside bot,txt I have

{  
name ^r^o^x3C7202#CB#C9#CC#CC#C5#D2^R^o^xC53D00#CB#C9#CC#CC#C5#D2  
model xaero  
aifile bots/sneakybot\_c.c  
arenaLord 5  
}

{  
name ^l^xEAF11F#1D^s^f^x8B8F17#D4^F#C5^f#D2^F#ED^s^l^xEAF11F#1F  
model orbb  
aifile bots/sneakybot\_c.c  
arenaLord 5  
}

This works with q3ded , but not with io , ideas?  
I’m using cmd , seta g\_botsfile “” also tried set , didn’t work

Alternatively…If you don’t want to use screen, you should just be able to run in the background like this:

./ioq3ded.x86\_64 +set dedicated 2 _\< your commandline arguments here \>_ 2\> /dev/null &

And for status:  
ps auxwww | grep $USER | egrep “ioq3ded” | grep -v grep
