Installing on Linux?

[Velh Krome]

I am pretty sure the default while installing is "Install system wide".
So hand some details:
Do you install as root? Or as user not disabling the systemwide install?
Same thing with the option about "Icons installed system wide".

I would guess that error might occur when installing as user, then the installer fails due to lack of permission to install systemwide, into root-folders that is - just a guess.

I do not need a root to run install... I can do install a client in user mode only. So no error report after install in user mode. Leave system wide "no" default that should work fine while installing in your own user mode space...

I know, as my install is a user install as well. Yet installing as user and trying to set it up systemwide will fail.

But dmentaustro' issue may occur due to his attempt to install as user while during the process the installer tries to write into root-folders without sufficient permission.

[..] when the instalation is almost done i have a "Post Install Script" error[..]

I didnt reproduce it, and I dont know what exactly dmentaustro did, yet may be worth a try.

Leave system wide "no" set default

Or as user not disabling the systemwide install?

Well yes.. thats what I suggested.

Let me know how it goes installing a game client in your user mode

I downloaded it, made it executable, sh'ed the .bin and while the process I disabled the systemwide install - so yes, all as user, not root, surprising, eh? Oh wait no uhm.. you installed as user yourself..

Oh, and before you go on asking, the following was meant as a trial to find the mistake HE did:

I cant see whats unclear here.

If you want to install system wide then you should be in root mode or superuser mode to install system wide.

If you want to run a ubuntu as root then use it at your own risk! I strong suggest you to run ubuntu in user mode in your own user space unless you re doing a maintenance in root mode.

[dmentaustro]

so, how do i solve my problem?

Just create your user space. Please see your ubuntu manual about creating user or user group so go to: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/keeping-safe/C/users.html

srr but that doesnt answer my question.. i just want to know why i get that error.. i'm not as root..

Open terminal

Go to the directory where the bin is.

execute "sudo ./nameofprog.bin"

Enter your root passwd (same as yours if you installed the system, prolly)

Don't close term until installation is finished
