you have to cd [change directory] to where the ps download is first.

First, open a konsole/terminal. Then type there:
Code: [Select]
cd /home/<your_username>/Desktop(For <your_username> you of course insert your own one)
Then you should be in the Desktop-folder where the file should be. You can verify with "ls -l", you should get a list of the files in that folder and hopefully your Planeshift.bin is contained.
Then just proceed as given in that link.

Good luck!

Looks like Chinese or other Eastern chars, no clue.

Try the following:
In your konsole/terminal, in the same folder /home/user/Desktop, type:
Code: [Select]
./PlaneSthen press Tab twice once, and finally Enter.

EDIT:
Oh, probably the Installer-file was opened with a text-editor.
So do as I suggested above, after you made the file executable by
Code: [Select]
chmod +x PlaneSagain once Tab and then Enter.
