Put your Quake CD into the drive (and Ubuntu should have automatically mounted it), then...
sudo apt-get install quake lhasa innoextract game-data-packager quake -m /media/QUAKE101/ sudo dpkg -i quake-registered_29_all.deb
Enjoy! :-)
If you need to tweak it, the config file is in...

Quit the game, then add the following to the end of your config file (~/.quake4/q4base/Quake4Config.cfg)...
seta image_downSize "0" seta image_downSizeBump "0" seta image_downSizeSpecular "0" seta image_filter "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR" seta image_ignoreHighQuality "0" seta image_roundDown "0" seta image_useCompression "0" seta image_useNormalCompression "0" seta image_anisotropy "16" seta image_lodbias "0" seta r_renderer "best" seta r_multiSamples "8" seta sys_lang "english" seta com_allowConsole "1"
The game may start with the Spanish language. To fix this, quit the game then edit your config file.
nano ~/.quake4/q4base/Quake4Config.cfg seta sys_lang "english"
Sound tweak. You may not have to do this, but if you experience a delay with sound, edit the startup script and change the line to...
exec ./quake4smp.x86 "$@" +set s_alsa_pcm plughw:0 +set NumberOfSpeakers 2 "$@"
