Problems on ubuntu

[SexyLexie]

Hello
I today installed planeshift on my laptop, which is running ubuntu linux. However, when I try to run the .bin, I receive the message:


Why is this happening to me?

Try using the console, going to the directory of the bin file ( "cd directorynamehere" ) then type the following:

Code: [Select]

chmod +x PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin
./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin
You might need to append "sudo" in front of the commands if it mentions something about permission denied.

I'm having the same problem, but your suggestions lead to the following:

sudo ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.019-x64.bin
Password:

What is the output of:

Code: [Select]

uname -r
I'm going to assume you've installed a 32 bit Ubuntu system which means you cannot run the 64bit installer.

I got the same problem on my Ubuntu 7.04

Code: [Select]

alsvartr@bust:/media/disk$ sudo chmod +x PlaneShift_CBV0.3.019-x86.bin
alsvartr@bust:/media/disk$ sudo ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.019-x86.bin
sudo: unable to execute ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.019-x86.bin: Permission denied

You don't "have" to install as root.

Once you have set the +x permission, try running the install as a normal user.

Sure it won't install some of the icons and things, but it works beautifully for me from the command line.

[alsvartr]

Nope, same problem:

Code: [Select]

alsvartr@bust:/media/disk$ chmod +x PlaneShift_CBV0.3.019-x86.bin
alsvartr@bust:/media/disk$ ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.019-x86.bin
bash: ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.019-x86.bin: Permission denied
*edit*

Copied this bin file to my home directory and all works fine. Wtf?
