Title: Can not start psc in Ubuntu 7.04
Post by: Bobostno on September 02, 2007, 08:26:39 am

After i finished updating i clicked on the launch but all that happen was the updater closed. After that i tried manually (the installer didnt put icons on desktop) but that also didnt work. So i tried in terminal but i got was:

The program 'psc' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install sc

Any body have any ideas?

ps:
i have ran this under ubuntu b4 and also windows with no problems. so this is a bit strange.

If you are unsure about your installation-path, you can always open a terminal and do: locate /PlaneShift/psc.

 However, to run the game through the terminal, you have to run the psclient, not psc. So instead of "./psc" you have to do "./psclient"

Roger has it correct.  psc is the binary but psclient is the wrapper that loads the correct env variables and the like.  If you aren't sure where its installed, try the following procedure:

As root (or with a sudo based distro, sudo):

Code: [Select]

locate -u
And wait, after a while (long if your drive is huge) then just enter:

Code: [Select]

locate psclient

for an instant search of your hard drive.  It will return the path, for example mine returns:

Code: [Select]

/opt/PlaneShift/psclient

so I enter that directory:

Code: [Select]

cd /opt/PlaneShift
and run

Code: [Select]

./psclient
or alternatively just run with direct path:

Code: [Select]

/opt/PlaneShift/psclient
I hope that helps :)

Update: Thanks to Bilbous for pointing out the typo. I was totally typing stuff backwards! :)

Umm for the most part linuxes do not have the "current directory" in the search path by default  so you might need to ./psclient

This seems wrong too as ./ is the current directory and the direct path would be just /opt/PlaneShift/psclient.
