installing game on linux... so confusing

[wolfboy1015]

ok so i open the terminal and type this code

------@-------desktop:~$ chmod +x PlaneShift_CBVO.3.020.bin
chmod: cannot access `PlaneShift_CBVO.3.020.bin': No such file or directory

i have it on my desktop right now and im runing linux mint im fairly new to linux so i dont know much

I see a problem with the command you issued. The Desktop directory is generally capitalized. If you open a terminal from the start menu or a shortcut on the task bar it will generally open in your home directory. You would then need to:

Code: [Select]

cd Desktop Perhaps though you made a typographical error in your listing. I think that is probably the case as I see another problem now that I look.  The name of the file I have is PlaneShift_CBV0.3.020-x86.bin ,,, notice the -x86 before the .bin You might want to try

Code: [Select]

chmod +x Pla* though that runs the risk of applying to more than one file. Another thing you might try is

Code: [Select]

chmod +x Pla[TAB] invoking the Bash shells powerful tab completion function. Anyway make sure you have the right filename.

By the way the x86 refers to the computers bus architecture and indicates a 32 bit PC type processor; Intel, Amd or other compatible. The installer for 64 bit PCs has -x64 instead of -x86.

Another thing you might try is

Code: [Select]

chmod +x Pla[TAB] invoking the Bash shells powerful tab completion function. Anyway make sure you have the right filename.

That would avoid problems such as typing a capital o instead of a zero, as it seems you did in the filename It is version 0.3.020 not O.3.020

I had a similar problem even though I was using the correct spelling. At first I thought it was a misspelling of the name also. Then I remembered to enter the path with chmod and it worked fine. In your case it would be  /home/username/Desktop/PlaneShift_CBV0.3.020.bin
