Title: Updater issues
Post by: angelray3 on December 11, 2009, 06:43:47 am

Ok so I am new to the linux thing.  I have ubuntu 9.10 and I just downloaded planeshift.  I got it to finally download after scanning these boards but now I ran into a new problem. 
I have seen in a few posts how people got their updater to work, I have tried these commands in the terminal and it still will not work.

If anyone can help me get this updater to work i would appreciate it sooooo much..

O by the way, I have a 32 bit downloaded verision if that matters.

still no luck..

I can get planeshift to start and i can select my character but when I try to join the network thing it says im not running the current verison and to run the updater.  I click the updater and it doesn't start.

try a sudo pslaunch --repair

run pslaunch as sudo always, otherwise updater will NOT work.

Hope that helps, based on my minimal knowledge of Unix systems

Sudo is not a user. You can't 'run as sudo'. When using sudo, you're running as root.

Also, real men set permissions, rather than run as root.
