typing "sudo chmod +x PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin" in a terminal will accomplish the same thing.

Linux Specific Issues / Re: Wait a minute...WTF?

Your window manager is likely either Gnome or KDE.
Create a user account separate from your root account, set the password to something different from your root password. For operations that need super user privileges, use sudo. That means you type "sudo command" instead of just "command" in the terminal. In Fedora I think sudo needs setup, type this in a terminal window: "echo 'usrname ALL(ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers", replace usrname in that line with whatever your user name is (not root). When using sudo you will be prompted for a password, this is the password of the user you're logged in as, not the root password. Being always logged in as root is never a good idea, and while you're still new to Linux even worse.
About your problem, have you read the instructions in the stickied thread on top of the page? In order to execute the installer .bin you need to type "./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin" with the ./ in front of the filename. And if you're reading the info in the sticky, you might like to now that in order to check the md5 sum of the installer you type "md5sum PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin". Do these commands while being in the directory in which you have stored the file.
If nothing works for you, and you really like to game, you might want to try this.

I saved the verbose output of ./psclient, ./pssetup and ./updater in three different .txt's that I've linked at the bottom of this post. I'm sorry for the crappy hosting, I don't have a reliable web host and couldn't find any way to attach files to this board. The problem I have that the fonts in-game are unreadable, they look like the screens thoice linked to. As I said I'm running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (v. 7.04) with kernel 2.6.20-12-generic, it's the 32bit version and I'm running it on an AMD Athlon64. The graphics card is a Radeon 9200SE using open source ATI drivers. Can anyone help me out, cause I'm stumped?

I have the exact same problem as you thoice, running Ubuntu Feisty with a Radeon 9200SE.
Edit: I'm using the open source ATI drivers, and in case it matters, the Gnome window manager.
