Title: Newbie guide to installation on Ubuntu.
Post by: Induane on March 05, 2008, 07:54:44 pm
Ubuntu Installation Guide

* This is a simple guide for people running Ubuntu who want a quick nice way of getting this game running on your systems.



The first step is to open a terminal window. 

Applications ---> Accessories ---> Terminal

You should now have a terminal window open.

Lets start by downloading the installer. Copy and paste the following command into the terminal window. (right clicking in the terminal window will give you a menu with the option to paste. The normal Ctrl + V doesn't work. (Its Ctrl + Shift + V if you want to use the shortcut).

There are two binaries available for linux. One is for those who have a 32 bit processor or whom have a 64 bit processor but are only running a 32 bit distro.  The other is for people with 64 bit capable processors who are running  a 64 bit distro.  The difference is significant enough that if you download the wrong one then it won't work so be sure to grab the right installer!

You can check to see what your distro is by entering the following command into the terminal if you are unsure:
Code: [Select]
uname -a
If you are running a 32 bit distro the output will be something like:

Command:
Code: [Select]
brant@Ragnarok:~$ uname -a
Output:
2.6.22-14-386
Note the part I highlighted in red.  This is the important part of the line and indicates you are on a 32 bit distro. 

If you are running a 64 bit distro the output will be something like:

Command:
Code: [Select]
brant@Ragnarok:~$ uname -a
Output:
2.6.22-14-x86_64
Again, note the portion in red.  This is an indication that you are running a 64 bit distro.

Download the proper 32 or 64 bit version from the ps website (http://www.planeshift.it/download.html)

Once it downloads, enter this next command.  It makes the installer executable:

For 32 bit (most users):
Code: [Select]
chmod a+x PlaneShift-v0.4.02-x86.run
For 64 bit:
Code: [Select]
chmod a+x PlaneShift-v0.4.02-x64.run
When you hit enter there will be no output.  If you type:

Code: [Select]
ls PlaneShift-*
Then it should show up in green text (this means its set to executable).

Now we want to launch the installer.  Most people want it to create menu icons so it must be run as root.

For 32 bit users:
Code: [Select]
sudo ./PlaneShift-v0.4.02-x86.run
For 64 bit users:
Code: [Select]
sudo ./PlaneShift-v0.4.02-x64.run
One you hit enter it should wait for a bit and then you will see the PlaneShift splash screen.  After a time you should get a dialog box like this:

(http://vaalnor.mine.nu/Downloads/Media/install_images/language.jpg)

As you can probably tell I speak English, so I just hit the OK button. 

This brings you to a nice new screen, the welcome screen:

(http://vaalnor.mine.nu/Downloads/Media/install_images/welcome.jpg)

I just hit Forward here.

Now we are greeted with a EULA.  Just make sure to select I accept:

(http://vaalnor.mine.nu/Downloads/Media/install_images/agree.jpg)

And hit Forward.

Now we get to the installation directory section.  I prefer installing in /opt, which happens to be the default.

(http://vaalnor.mine.nu/Downloads/Media/install_images/directory.jpg)

Since we don't need to change anything, I just hit Forward.

The next page is just a list of information about the release and some requirements.

(http://vaalnor.mine.nu/Downloads/Media/install_images/require.jpg)

Just hit Forward.

The screen we are now presented with asks about a system wide install.  This basically means that it puts some scripts in your path so that if you are at a command prompt anywhere you can just enter
Code: [Select]
planeshift and it will start.  I find this handy from time to time.  The initial screen looks like this:

(http://vaalnor.mine.nu/Downloads/Media/install_images/system_no.jpg)

Change the option from no to yes so that it looks like this:

(http://vaalnor.mine.nu/Downloads/Media/install_images/system_yes.jpg)

And go ahead and hit the Forward button!

The next screen asks about your windowmanager.  If you are on Kubuntu then it is probably KDE, if you are on Ubuntu it is probably Gnome.  The initial screen looks like this:

(http://vaalnor.mine.nu/Downloads/Media/install_images/wm_kde.jpg)

If you are on KDE then leave this option as is.  If you are not then change to Gnome as in the following screen:

(http://vaalnor.mine.nu/Downloads/Media/install_images/wm_gnome.jpg)

Now hit Forward to move to the next step of the installation.

Now we have the option of installing Menu Items.  I prefer this as it makes things a bit nicer.  The initial screen looks like this:

(http://vaalnor.mine.nu/Downloads/Media/install_images/icons_no.jpg)

But change the option to yes so that it looks like the next screen here:

(http://vaalnor.mine.nu/Downloads/Media/install_images/icons_yes.jpg)

Then hit Forward.  The next screen asks whether you want desktop icons.

(http://vaalnor.mine.nu/Downloads/Media/install_images/shortcuts.jpg)

Change it to yes if you want it, however I already have menu icons so I don't need desktop icons so I just leave this screen set to "No".

The next screen asks about manually setting permissions on the installed files however I find that the default values are pretty sane and work just fine.

(http://vaalnor.mine.nu/Downloads/Media/install_images/permissions.jpg)

I just leave this option set to "No" and hit Forward.

The next screen informs us that we are ready to install!

(http://vaalnor.mine.nu/Downloads/Media/install_images/ready.jpg)

Just hit forward and the copying of files will commence!

Look the files are copying!! Yay!!

(http://vaalnor.mine.nu/Downloads/Media/install_images/progress.jpg)

When it finishes you should finally be greeted with this screen:

(http://vaalnor.mine.nu/Downloads/Media/install_images/done.jpg)

Thats a good sign :)  Just hit "Finish" to close the installer.  You should now be ready to launch PlaneShift.  It will be located in:

Applications -----> Games -----> PlaneShift Client

Also installed to the menus are:

PlaneShift Setup - Configure Options (including fullscreen)
PlaneShift Updater - Keep your version up to date
PlaneShift Uninstaller - Remove PlaneShift

Troubleshooting:

If you run into an error when launching the client it could be due to permissions.  Some Ubuntu installs do not have a game group by default.  If you see an error like the following one you can fix it pretty easily:

(http://vaalnor.mine.nu/Downloads/Media/install_images/error.jpg)

The fix is simple.  Open a Terminal window again:

Applications ---> Accessories ---> Terminal

Now chown the directory:

* Note: be sure to change your_username_here to your own username, for instance mine says "brant:users" since my login name is brant.

Code: [Select]
sudo chown -R your_username_here:users /opt/PlaneShift/
This should eliminate the error.

There have been reports of the menu items not working correctly and not launching the applications correctly.  If you cannot launch via the menu then open a terminal as described above and enter one of the following commands depending on what you want to launch:

Code: [Select]
/opt/PlaneShift/psclient      Launches PlaneShift itself.

Code: [Select]
/opt/PlaneShift/pssetup      Launches PlaneShift's setup application.

Code: [Select]
/opt/PlaneShift/psupdater   Launches PlaneShift's updater.

Code: [Select]
/opt/PlaneShift/uninstall      Begins the uninstall process. May need to be run with sudo.

One possibility to fixing this issue instead of using the command line to launch the program is to change the permissions on the .desktop file itself.  The following command should do the trick on all 4 launchers at once.

Code: [Select]
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/share/applications/planeshift*.desktop

I hope this helps a few people out! Questions, comments, etc are welcome.

Nice guide but, as I said in the installer feedback thread, on my 6.06LTS the installer exits after the language selection with no words.

Post by: Induane on March 08, 2008, 06:07:05 pm
I think that 6.06 is too old to use the compiled binary since its compiled on much newer glibc.

You can try compiling from scratch.  I have a build guide for Ubuntu Dapper found here:

http://vaalnor.mine.nu/psdoc/?q=node/14

Let me know if you have any issues with it.

The 6.06 is not so new for sure but still officially supported :)

Thanks for the link I'll give it a try :)

EDIT: Yikes, files that needs to be expanded in the root, tons of packages to install. I'm sorry but I prefer to keep my installation as much clean as possible. Pity. If I'll find a machine I can use I'll install the 6.06 there and I'll try.

Title: Re: Newbie guide to installation on Ubuntu.
Post by: Induane on March 10, 2008, 04:42:20 am
Thats pretty much how its done. That package is pretty safe though.  If you are really freaked out about it you might look into stow or something.  For me I just keep a copy of the package around so I can browse it for what files it installs and remove them when I need to.

I installed PS succesfully on Ubuntu Hardy 64 bit. However, I needed to set correct permissions for the shorcuts on the desktop and the files afterwards to run it. PSupdater worked fine. Pssetup flickered all the time. Psclient flickered too, but switching to fullscreen fixed that issue.

It's like the windows behind the PS windows want to go in front of it, and that looks like flickering. Any idea how to fix that?

edit:
After a reboot the shortcuts were pretty big, like 5 times the normal size. I can't resize them. Any clue on that too?

I meant supported by the official PS binary :)


@ThomPhoenix
I think you can resize shortcut icons by right clicking and choosing 'resize"    - there is also a reset to normal size option.

As for the flickering are you using an intel card?
Title: Re: Newbie guide to installation on Ubuntu.
Post by: ThomPhoenix on March 11, 2008, 12:17:33 am
Induane: That's the problem, it thinks the normal size is the enlarged one. And I tried the resize option, but somehow I can't make it smaller, just bigger.

I have an Ati X1250, using Fglrx.

edit: My desktop has an X800, not my laptop ;)
Title: Re: Newbie guide to installation on Ubuntu.
Post by: Induane on March 11, 2008, 01:16:36 am
I have an ati card in my laptop, I'll give the upgrade to hardy a try and see if I can replicate any of this.  I think the "normal' icon size can be set in gconf-editor or something but I'll have to poke around.  I'll let you know if I dig up something.

Post by: Esserfin on March 11, 2008, 04:58:23 am
If you are really freaked out about it you might look into stow or something.

I have VirtualBox installed so I'll try to build the client there scheduled for the next weekend if I'll have free time. :)
*Crosses fingers thinking that something will happen for sure breaking his dream of free time*

Thanks for your time.

Do let me know how it goes and if you run into any issues.  I don't have any dapper boxes left except my work servers and my home server, none of which have X installed so its hard to compile and test on ;) - <3 headless units..

Anyways I tried some improvements to the guide to make it make better sense and such, do let me know if you run into any issues.

Hi, im a complete newbie to linux (1 day and counting) so thought that this guide would be prefect for me :thumbup: but i didnt get very far :thumbdown:

this is what i did...

Code: [Select]
wget -c http://download.xordan.com/PlaneShift-v0.4.00-x86.bin
no problem there, downloaded fine :thumbup:

Code: [Select]
chmod a+x PlaneShift-v0.4.00-x86.bin
ls PlaneShift-v0.4.00-x86.bin

yup still ok, text was green as you said it should be  :thumbup:

Code: [Select]
sudo ./PlaneShift-v0.4.00-x86.bin
oh dear nothing happens, i left it for ages and nowt happens :'(
i dont know if its something i did or didnt do and i wouldnt know where to start.

my processor is a "AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+" if that makes any difference ??? ???

any help / advice great recieved and appreciated.
Title: Re: Newbie guide to installation on Ubuntu.
Post by: Caarrie on March 12, 2008, 07:16:51 pm
try it with http://download.xordan.com/PlaneShift-v0.4.00-x64.bin
Title: Re: Newbie guide to installation on Ubuntu.
Post by: Induane on March 13, 2008, 04:23:53 pm
Might work if you used a 64 bit install cd, most newbies aren't running 64bit distro's ;)

btw images in the guide are down until later today.  My battery backups only hold out so long and they are working on the power lines downtown.

Post by: Esserfin on March 13, 2008, 08:45:31 pm

Uhmm ...no password request by sudo? Try to run it without it (enter the directory where the PS .bin is located and type ./PlaneShift-v0.4.00-x86.bin). The processor is fine, no issues for it :)
The difference will be that you'll not be able to install it systemwide but you can still install it in your home dir (ex : /home/koko/PlaneShift).

If the necessary 32bit compatibility libraries are not installed and he's running a 64bit distro install then it will be a problem. The processor can handle 32 and 64 bit sure but the OS has to handle some of that.  Do you know what you installed koko?

Indeed, but what I find strange is the shell giving no messages about the issue (that is why I thought about the sudo's password, the system *could* be waiting for it) :)


Do you know what you installed koko?

That's the main question now. Koko, open a shell and type 'uname -r' and post the reply here :)

This is an excellent guide. Thank you. I think I'll bookmark this thread for use when the next major update comes along. I recognize everything you have shown here when I installed last time although I couldn't lauch from the icons. It's not been a problem though because I launch from terminal anyway (or the non GUI icon PS client).
Interestingly, I think I chose KDE desktop despite running Gnome, by accident, however the game still runs. (I did this when I reinstalled after finding the launch icons failed to work).
Guides like this are really useful for folk like me who have limited Linux knowledge. I'm learning quickly though.

I am having the same problem with the flickering how did you change to full screen? not sure if I want it in full screen because I switch between the irc channel and the game all the time . and as it is I have to go into the opt /planeshift dir just to start the game ok well I fixed the starting problem now I just wish the flicker would go away

Post by: Esserfin on March 16, 2008, 06:59:16 pm
To change to fullscreen or to window view use  pssetup  (in the planeshift installation directory). You can change a few graphic options too there.

thanks for the replies, been busy so not had a chance to reply until now.

yes im running the 64 bit distro, tried downloading the x64.bin file and it worked a treat, thx very much.  :thumbup:

very good guide by the way :thumbup:

im really getting to like Ubuntu, its a bit of a culture shock at first after always having my hand held by Mr Gates and his Windozzzzzzz. ;D ;D

Shadowmeph: If your desktop icons don't work for launching PS, you have to change the permissions on them. On Ubuntu you can right-click them to open a menu to change the permissions, but if you launched the installer with sudo that will not work. You have to open a terminal and use the command "sudo chmod a+rx <location-of-a-PS-desktop-icon>"

Hey man, i followed the tutorial and i worked perfectly, The installation the, the scripts, the permission and whatnot. After installation i tried to run the menu icons and they did not work as you said some would. So then i moved over to terminal and attempted to run it from there however i came across this
Code: [Select]
hartxenon@Raymond-laptop:~$ /opt/PlaneShift/psupdater
/opt/PlaneShift/psupdater: line 5: cd: /home/hartxenon//opt/PlaneShift: No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access `psupdater.bin': No such file or directory
/opt/PlaneShift/psupdater: line 8: /home/hartxenon/psupdater.bin: No such file or directory
/opt/PlaneShift/psupdater: line 8: exec: /home/hartxenon/psupdater.bin: cannot execute: No such file or directory

Any help would be greatly appreciated, BTW i'm using Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 in case you need to know...
Title: Re: Newbie guide to installation on Ubuntu.
Post by: ThomPhoenix on March 19, 2008, 02:17:45 pm
You can also just use Nautilus to go to the PlaneShift folder and set the correct permission via the GUI. If you want to make the shortcuts under the Applications->Games menu work, you need to chmod the desktop icons themselves.

Title: Re: Newbie guide to installation on Ubuntu.
Post by: Induane on March 20, 2008, 11:20:06 pm
Depending on the settings for the shell you may need to add . before the commands, but I doubt it. 

Hartxenon:  could you paste me the output of the following command?:

Code: [Select]
ls /opt/PlaneShift
Also, I do address changing the permissions of the .desktop files themselves in the guide ThomPheonix:

In case someone missed it:

Code: [Select]
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/share/applications/planeshift*.desktop
Ought to make the menu entries work.

nothing happens. i am getting the same problems as hartxenon, and a few others.

i tried to CD to the directory where it is located, and tried it without CD. nothing happens, and i still get the error. Tried with sudo/without sudo. i uninstalled, and still copy pasted all the available commands. when i click on the links, and go to the permission tab, it is set to root, and it says "your are not the owner." Hmmm. Where am I going wrong? Using Ubuntu 7.1 64 bit edition.

op nevermind. figured it out.

I used this guide and have it installed. But all permissions are to root.  I am new to Ubuntu 7.10 and have no idea on how to change the permissions.

It's in the guide though, feenix.

sudo chmod a+rx /usr/share/applications/planeshift*.desktop
You can replace "/usr/share/applications/planeshift*.desktop" with any other file you would like to set appropriate permissions for.

Hey I'm having the same exact problem as this guy. Anybody figure out how to solve it yet? I'm running 32 bit software on a 64 bit processor with 7.10.  I really liked playing this game on my windows but it died and I put ubuntu on here which I really like, but it won't play this game so far. Any ideas? help me please?

Hey man, i followed the tutorial and i worked perfectly, The installation the, the scripts, the permission and whatnot. After installation i tried to run the menu icons and they did not work as you said some would. So then i moved over to terminal and attempted to run it from there however i came across this
Code: [Select]
hartxenon@Raymond-laptop:~$ /opt/PlaneShift/psupdater
/opt/PlaneShift/psupdater: line 5: cd: /home/hartxenon//opt/PlaneShift: No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access `psupdater.bin': No such file or directory
/opt/PlaneShift/psupdater: line 8: /home/hartxenon/psupdater.bin: No such file or directory
/opt/PlaneShift/psupdater: line 8: exec: /home/hartxenon/psupdater.bin: cannot execute: No such file or directory

Any help would be greatly appreciated, BTW i'm using Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 in case you need to know...

Thanks.

Slight problem.
When I try the command to run the installer, it gives me "sudo: unable to execute ./PlaneShift-v0.4.00-x86.bin:text file busy". I downloaded the file from the link on the site, but otherwise followed directions exactly. So, what's wrong, and what should I do?
Ubunto 7.10, 2 gigabytes of ram, and 32 bit.

You might double check the file size to make sure you got the full download. It might have cut off. Its why I like wget -c   it allows you to resume where you left off if something happens.
Title: Re: Newbie guide to installation on Ubuntu.
Post by: pharo212 on April 12, 2008, 07:54:28 pm
I've downloaded it twice, from different mirrors. Also, the wget -c failed when I tried to use it. Is there a debian package?
EDIT I started wget, and its working. Cross your fingers!
EDIT(again) GAH! It failed while I was away, and it didn't start where it left of! Why me!

I don;t know of this will help, but instead of downloading to "opt" directory, I created separate folder for it and used the file browser to look at it. When you find it, you'll likely need to change the permissions in the "executable". In terminal, the files should show up as green.

Another way to get advice would be to check the Ubuntu forums. I found this helped for me.

Sorry I can't be more help. It's a while since I sorted mine and I can't remember what I did.

first of all open the konsole and type
cd /opt/PlaneShift (or wherever you have installed the game)
then type
sudo ./psclient
give your password and it will open!Hopefully it will help others too :P

Post by: Cebot on May 28, 2008, 06:04:55 pm
you should definitely not run any user application as root. root is the administrative user.
you should change the permissions or the ownership of the planeshift installation to your normal user account.

Alternatively you could also install planeshift into a local folder within your home directory and select "no" to set permissions in the installer, this will do fine and you are on the save side since you, as user won't need write permissions in any system folder.

Just as reminder: NEVER RUN USER APPLICATIONS AS ROOT

Ok, I'm running a Ubuntu 8.04 distro, with KDE installed (not the full Kubuntu).  I tried four times to install on KDE, but I couldn't get it to work, (I used this guide for two of those times).  I then thought that I would try it on Gnome using this guide.  It worked just fine.  It runs in Gnome and in KDE now.  I don't know what the problem was, but I finally can play without going into my Windows partition (I like to stay out of that as much as possible.) 

Thanks!

I've found the following, which may be of help to other people:

After I've installed the game, following this guide (with the exeption of installing to ~/games instead of /opt), the PlaneShift directory is owned by root. The installer recogniser the current user as root, thus effectivly preventing access to the game's folder. A chown -r will solve this problem:
Code: [Select]
sudo chown -hR <your username> <planeshiftdir>
Another solution might  be to manually set the permissions in the installer, although I haven't tried that myself.

As for the system status you will have to be more specific. I should note that when i had my labtop's default OS WinXP PlaneShift did run. So idk wither its a issue of the Linux build, or whatever. As i mentioned i have the 64 Bit version of Ubuntu Hardy and did install the 64 bit client as well as did what i was suppose in regards to the updater which includes downloading the supposefully corrected version from the site (again making sure its the 64 bot version). It updated fine after enabling the updater's xml file.

you have serious permission problems check if you have ownership and the permissions are set correctly to allow at least the owner to write them. check the status of the home directory with ls -l /home/ and of the various subdirectories named there. could also be teorically you have run out of free space or the partition is read only

Post by: Caarrie on December 16, 2008, 03:37:15 am
There are two binaries available for linux. One is for those who have a 32 bit processor or whom have a 64 bit processor but are only running a 32 bit distro.  The other is for people with 64 bit capable processors who are running  a 64 bit distro.  The difference is significant enough that if you download the wrong one then it won't work so be sure to grab the right installer!

You can check to see what your distro is by entering the following command into the terminal if you are unsure:
Code: [Select]
uname -r
If you are running a 32 bit distro the output will be something like:

Command:
Code: [Select]
brant@Ragnarok:~$ uname -r
Output:
2.6.22-14-386
Note the part I highlighted in red.  This is the important part of the line and indicates you are on a 32 bit distro. 

If you are running a 64 bit distro the output will be something like:

Command:
Code: [Select]
brant@Ragnarok:~$ uname -r
Output:
2.6.22-14-x86_64
Again, note the portion in red.  This is an indication that you are running a 64 bit distro.

For using a 32 bit processor or a 64 bit processor with a 32 bit distro:
Code: [Select]
wget -c http://download.xordan.com/PlaneShift-v0.4.02-x86.bin
Or alternatively if your are using a 64 bit distro:
Code: [Select]
http://download.xordan.com/PlaneShift-v0.4.02-x64.bin
If the download fails you can re-enter the command and it will pickup where you left off.  Once it downloads, enter this next command.  It makes the installer executable:

For 32 bit (most users):
Code: [Select]
chmod a+x PlaneShift-v0.4.02-x86.bin
For 64 bit:
Code: [Select]
chmod a+x PlaneShift-v0.4.02-x64.bin
When you hit enter there will be no output.  If you type:

Code: [Select]
ls PlaneShift-*
Then it should show up in green text (this means its set to executable).

Now we want to launch the installer.  Most people want it to create menu icons so it must be run as root.

For 32 bit users:
Code: [Select]
sudo ./PlaneShift-v0.4.02-x86.bin
For 64 bit users:
Code: [Select]
sudo ./PlaneShift-v0.4.02-x64.bin
please read the above and try it to follow it closely
 you can also try
Code: [Select]
uname -m to tell if you have a 64 or 32 bit system [i think]/me goes to sleep

[edit] after reading your post do the uname -m and see if that helps ;) i also had the same reply to the uname -r command i think it changed some recently

Title: Re: Newbie guide to installation on Ubuntu.
Post by: Vonor on December 16, 2008, 03:45:00 am
obviously you have a 32 bit OS, so the 64 bit installer is useless for you
besides, after downloading the file run "chmod +x" on it to make it executable

and please, do yourself a favor and never run anything as su / sudo if you don't know what it does. Though the PlaneShift installer is not going to damage your system, but other software might and if you run it with sudo it will have root access can just do whatever it wants

so the proper way to do it:
Download PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin
chmod +x PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin
./PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin

Caarrie, Thanks for the quick response. Looks like it was a bad download. MD5sum on my second download matched the one listed on the link you posted. This one executed as it should have. Installer is working. You rock! Looking forward to contributing whatever I can to the PS Project. FYI, all of the links on the thread you posted seem dead. Maybe xordan is down?

Ok, I've figured out that by changing the options to windowed mode lets me play the game. However, I don't want to play in windowed. I would prefer full screen. Also, the options that I change in ./pssetup don't seem to affect the game. I had to manually edit the config file. So, how do I commence to play this in fullscreen?

it's probably some issue in your config which doesn't allow what you are requesting. anyway there is a way. set in pssetup the resolution of your screen go in system preferences keyboard shortcuts and set toggle full screen mode to something and use that on the window you will get a full screen mode which is better than x full screen mode (which essentially is crap as it doesn't allow dual monitor use and alt tabbing out)

Really not sure, but try to run the launcher once with "./pslauncher --repair". And it is maybe worth a try to rename the ~/.PlaneShift directory to something else and having the new version create a completely new configuration.

Can we have an updated set of instructions for Planshift- v0.5.0 on karmic koala? I.e. the latest version on the lates ubuntu flavors.
I have a 64 bit processor but have had trouble with that and am inclined to go 32 bit just in case.  Interpolating the instructions from  version 4 to 5 adds an additional level of confusion and risk of error. I'm still learning to drive this computer thingy.  :@#\

Tried the instructions at:

http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=19389.0

no joy. It didn't work. It cant find the command.

wobbly@wobbly-desktop:~$ chmod +x PlaneShift-v0.5.*
chmod: cannot access `PlaneShift-v0.5.*': No such file or directory
wobbly@wobbly-desktop:~$ Run ./pslaunch
Run: command not found
wobbly@wobbly-desktop:~$

Better instructions please.

did you actually download the thing and put it in your home? also check case. in any case any instruction on running commercial game and out of the distro repo binary packages is proper here at the same way, except we don't have a qt interface for the installer so if using kde without gtk libraries installed you'll need to use the textual interface.

Part of the problem seems to be that I get wobbly@wobbly-desktop ~$ uname -r
2.6.31-16-generic-pae

Not either of the expected replies.
How do I get from desktop to home to see what's there?
I'm in danger of abandoning linux and going back to windows. its all in code. I need a translator.

Well it looks to me like you're almost there, but you have "Read Only" access to the game folder. I'm a brand newbie myself, but it looks like this from the original instructions should solve your problem. Open a Terminal window and type the following replacing "your_username_here" with your Linux username:

sudo chown -R your_username_here:users /opt/PlaneShift/

ok that worked. thanks. Now I have another problem. The menu is giggling up and down I cant select or hit any button particularly the up date menu that comes up. There is a settings menu but it giggles to and I cant select full screen. Singing in is also impossible for the obvious reason.

Can you help me? I've been trying with different combinations but with no results.

You don't need to be root to install, my personal opinion is to install in ~ rather than /opt and did you do this

chmod +x PlaneShift-v0.5.0-x64.bin
followed by
./PlaneShift-v0.5.0-x64.bin

If I ls (you obviously can't see the colors, so I don't post it) it's not in a lovely executable-green, but in annoying file-white.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

EDIT:
OK, weird.
I cp'ed it to ~, chmod'ed and it runs. WTF?

maybe the disk has noexec as mount flag. if it does it doesn't matter if you are root

Mmm, how to check/change that?

Mmm, how to check/change that?
The "mount" command should list all mounted devices and their flags.
I'm not sure about the best way to change these, but you may try and edit /etc/fstab

Title: Re: Newbie guide to installation on Ubuntu.
Post by: weltall on December 17, 2010, 04:10:42 pm
if in place they are temporary devices you might do mount -o remount,exec /media/99999/.
to make t his definitive you'd have to change the automount rules even though this isn't suggested as it allows attackers to run code as root (but probably the only physical attacker could be yourself so not really an important protection). As various implementations where done for it the best is checking the distribution documentation.

I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong. D:
Thank you!

Try writing:
Code: [Select]
./Planeshift.bin
It could be a problem that you used a p instead of P... I make this mistake with upper and lower cases all the time :-[

Post by: weltall on January 04, 2011, 09:48:06 am
always assure that the file is cased correctly, also some distro have started setting usb disks with noexec flag you need to mount -o remount,exec <mountpoint or dev point> to restore executable status to files in the disk you are trying to use

Guide uses mainly classic Unix commands and probably will never change except download link.
Also it is very terminalistic even game download is handled in terminal. :D

Simple download trough Firefox extract and double click on correct file should do the trick. ;)
