Linux Specific Issues / Re: Trying to Learn Ubuntu and install PlaneShift

« on: May 18, 2007, 02:27:57 am »

Here is what happened when I ran those commands in the terminal:

Code: [Select]

I did the md5sum against the PlaneShift file that I downloaded earlier on my desktop and its code was exactly like what was posted by bilbous.

Bilbous mentioned that:

I find it hard to believe it would not complain if you do not have qt installed but it is possible.

What is qt? Is it possible that I don't have it installed?

Thanks for the additional help Bilbous. The first command returned a syntax error when ran:
./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

The second command did indeed prompt for my root password. I input my password and was returned to the prompt without any errors. Unfortunately nothing else happened either.

I am curious about something. I right clicked on the .bin file and checked its properties. There are 5 tabs across the top of the properties. One tab is "Open With". It states: Select an application to open PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin and others of the type "executable". The list below that is empty except for the words "No application selected".

Could this be my problem? If so, what should be listed there?

Thanks again for the help.

Thanks so much for the great information. I feel much more comfortable now that I have some kind of idea what I am doing. Unfortunately, double clicking on the .bin file on my desktop or doing the ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin command in the terminal has the same result..nothing happens! No error messages at all. I first opened up the Permissions on the .bin file on my desktop and checked the "Allow executing file as program" checkbox. I then double clicked on the file. Nothing happend. So I opened a terminal, did the "cd ~/Desktop" command, then did the "chmod a+x PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin" command. No problem so far. I then attempted to run the .bin file by typing "./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin" in the terminal. I just got the prompt back. Nothing executed. No installation.

I must be doing something wrong. This is a very fresh install of Ubuntu 7.04. I performed a fresh installation tonight and a new download of the PlaneShift file. Still, nothing happens when I try to install the program.

Totally confused....

Linux Specific Issues / Trying to Learn Ubuntu and install PlaneShift

I am VERY new to Linux. I just loaded Ubunto 7.04 and thought I would check to see if there were any MMORPGs supported for this OS. I searched on the Internet and came up with this game. It looks pretty cool so I thought I might give it a try. I downloaded the .bin file to the desktop. Now what? Of course with Windows you would just doubleclick on the file to run it. That doesn't seem to do anything with Ubuntu. I see in the instructions "You will need to 'chmod +x PlaneShift_CBV0.3.017.bin' after downloading". I think chmod is to change permissions but how do I 'chmod' something? What is the next step after that? Sorry about the newbie question...
