That is a normal message if you entered an incorrect password, 3 wrong tries and it quits.

Make it executable:

chmod +x tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run

Then install:

sudo sh ./tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run

Be sure to input the correct password:

HTH.

tremulous 1.1.0 is in the natty repos. Why not just use software centre??

What action was saying is that the game tremulous is in the ubuntu software repository.

Go to the applications-ubuntu software centre, and in the search box type 'tremulous'. That will bring up the application. Then click on the 'install' button, enter your correct password, and it will install.

In future, if you want software I suggest you search in software centre, it may already be there.
