Do the demo files names have uppercase or lowercase letters?
If it's uppercase change it to lower.

An upstream bug that FS can't/won't fix means the linux demoloader
thinks all demos are in all caps.

Solutions:
Make a bash script to rename all demos in the ~/.q3a/q3ut4/demos folder to upper,
or
Use the console to play demos, with /demo DEMONAME
(Remember you can tab-autocomplete!)

tnx.... yeah i found that out on the UrT forum too.... somebody had written a bash script to change the case.... i edited the ones i had by hand and now it works.... my guess is somebody "ported" windows source code for the demo loader, not realizing linux cares about case.....
