Title: Updated but nothing's happened
Post by: Lambo on October 28, 2005, 05:41:43 pm: Okay, the subject is wrong for this thread since I edited it because the problem has changed. I\'ve updated and I\'m trying to set the permission bits so I can run the psclient app. I followed the instructions in the sticky exactly, but it says \"no such file or directory\" when I do the chmod bit. I\'m on 10.4. Can anyone help me?

Thanks, Lambo.

Edit:Note they already deal with this problem as for-mentioned.

Post by: Lambo on October 28, 2005, 06:58:00 pm: they don\'t seem to have anything to do with it. the problem is my lack of knowledge of Unix. It\'s not that there\'s something not working, I guess I\'m just not doing it right. This is what I\'m doing:

I type \"cd \" with a space and press return
then I drag my planeshift 3D folder into the terminal window and press return
then it says \"users/joseph/desktop/planeshift3d/\" and I press return
then I type \"chmod 755 psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient\" and press return
and then it says \"no such file or directory\"

I have also tried leaving out the return after dragging the folder in, and then it says \"/users/joseph/desktop/planeshift3d: is a directory\" which isn\'t very helpfull. What do I do now!

Please help me =)

Post by: the_eagle_ on October 28, 2005, 07:15:20 pm: i\'m not entirely sure, but i think the problem may lie in the all the returns you\'re pressing, try just inputing the whole thing like this
\"cd users/joseph/desktop/planeshift3d/chmod 755 psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient\" and only press return after the whole thing is done. i think that\'s how i did it, but i haven\'t been keeping up with planeshift since the update to 3.011, hope that helps!

Post by: Lambo on October 28, 2005, 07:15:51 pm: I\'ve now started trying some other stuff, and I\'ve got \"chmod [-fv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-a | +a | =a [# [ n]]] mode|entry file ...\" whic was daunting. I\'ve also tried running the psclient from it\'s package contents, and it says \"ERROR: csInitializer::SetupConfigManager failed!
Is your CRYSTAL environment variable set?
logout
[Process completed]\"

I hope someone who has had the same problem can tell me how to overcome it.

Thanks

Post by: Lambo on October 28, 2005, 07:28:31 pm: thanks \"the eagle\" but I copied and pasted what you suggested, and it said \"no such file or directory\" it\'s trying to see chmod as a folder i think. I also tried tinkering around with that sentence, but still no joy. Thanks for trying though.

cd users/joseph/desktop/planeshift3d/chmod 755 psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient

it\'s that bit there, after \"planeshift3d/\" the chmod 755 bit. isn\'t that in the wrong place? because that would have to mean that chmod was a folder wouldn\'t it? anyway, you probably know loads more than me. Thanks for your help, I\'m just a bit desperate to get it working.

Post by: Xytan on October 28, 2005, 07:48:19 pm: do this:

Code: [Select]
cd /users/joseph/desktop/planeshift3d/ chmod 755 psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient

first line brings your shell (in Terminal.app) into the directory (cd = change directory).
second line changes the permission (chmod = change mode)

and eagle, thanx for trying to help ;)

Important: READ BEFORE POSTING: A Guide to Running Planeshift on Mac OS X ( 1 2 3 )

Post by: Lambo on October 28, 2005, 08:06:22 pm: should I see something when I\'ve done that? I did it and still no joy.

And r.gruppy, I HAVE read that post, and it\'s not helpfull at all. I\'ve doen exactly what it says and nothing has worked.

P.S Would someone be such a legend as to make an applescript or automator action that will do this?

Post by: r.guppy on October 28, 2005, 08:10:25 pm: Thats because no Macs can get on-line yet please read threads at top and you will see why:)
Title:
Post by: Xytan on October 28, 2005, 08:13:46 pm: do this :
Code: [Select]
ls -l /users/joseph/desktop/planeshift3d/psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient
this should start with -rwxr-xr-x.
the - means ?no?
the r means ?read only?
the x means ?executable?

the quation then is if you can start the app (so it DOES run) but you just can?t log in to the server. those are different problems. if the app runs the above won?t help you.

Post by: Lambo on October 28, 2005, 08:14:04 pm: to r.guppy:

it\'s got nothing to do with actually establishing a connection. It\'s not trying to get online, it\'s just opening the app in the first place. It just bounces and dissapears. No window or anything. All I have to do is allow it permission to run.

Sorry if I\'ve made an entirely incorrect statement, but I\'ve read every stickie available, and I\'m certain I should be able to do this.

And sorry also for sounding so angry. I\'m nice really (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/images/icons/smilie.gif)

Josephs-Computer:/users/joseph/desktop/planeshift3d joseph$

I hope that makes sense to you. Sorry if i\'m a little dimwitted, but that\'s just me! So does this mean that it works? Or doesn\'t it? It can\'t do because it still won\'t open up. What did that just do? I\'m confused!

I did everything right (even searched) yet it still doesnt work
I got the updater.jar working and dragged it into the PS folder, ran update.jar... an hour later i even configured the security settings through Terminal. But now whenever i click on anything .app, it will open up what\'s called \"Application,\" it will bounce once like its loading and just close. Why?

I\'ve addressed this already. New data files that the old client binaries don\'t understand makes the client crash. The end. Please wait for the update and post comments in the only open thread with 3.012 in the title.

in post just down a bit called:

I did everything right (even searched) yet it still doesnt work.

Sorry daunt mean to be rood i am nice to :))

Post by: Xytan on October 28, 2005, 08:32:59 pm: lambo, if it bounces, it is running. and then it just chrashes.
so i?m afraid you?ll have to read the other threads or just download the current package again...

guppy, everything?s fine :)

Post by: Lambo on October 28, 2005, 08:36:54 pm: Ok, thanks, and sorry for being an idiot. Just a few comments:

A) Can that be made a sticky so we don\'t have this again?
B) It took me about 2 minutes to process cha0s\' answer, so maybe something like \"The client crashes at the mo, for a reason that can\'t be fixed\" would be easier to understand.

Thanks for explaining (eventually (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/images/icons/biggrin.gif) ) I guess we just have to sit and twiddle our thumbs while someone gets this all sorted. So it\'s just that someone needs to edit some binary so that it doesn\'t crash? I think I\'ve got it now.

Cheers, Lambo.

Post by: Cha0s on October 30, 2005, 12:42:18 am: Yes, please just wait. Read Mac Client Status and be on the look out for a post in the only remaining thread on 3.012 (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=19999&boardid=32) (which is where I asked for all such queries to be directed :\\ ). I am working on it and it will be finished. As far as an automatic method getting installation done, I\'d suggest Updater.jar. Now, iLock.

P.S. I\'ve modified Mac Client Status to be more obvious about the problem.
