Newbie guide to installation on Ubuntu.

try

Code: [Select]

./psupdater.bin and see if that works, then go from there with the other apps after the update

I may have found something out. I had skipped
uname -r, I was sure it was 32 bit.
However, the output from that command is:

Code: [Select]

2.6.22-14-generic.For 32 bit, its supposed to be:

Code: [Select]

2.6.22-14-386And for 64 bit its:

Code: [Select]

2.6.22-14-x86_64Any idea what this means?

Forgot about those kernels! You're 32 bit

Well, that presents a new problem, after a while the planeshift file changes from text file busy to

Code: [Select]

Installer payload initialization failed. This is likely due to an incomplete or corrupt download file So, what does this mean? Corrupt wouldn't make since, since all the mirrors give this, and neither would incomplete, as far as I know.

Try the torrent version.  Might be something up with Xordans server.

I know that my problem has been tormenting others as well,but since there has not been a clear solution to it,i am gonna post it again.I have run psupdater(with konsole,i am using the newest version of Kubuntu)and the update went smoothly.But when i try to run psclient i get the following message

/opt/PlaneShift/psclient: line 5: cd: /home/fotis//opt/PlaneShift: No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access `psclient.bin': No such file or directory
/opt/PlaneShift/psclient: line 8: /home/fotis/psclient.bin: No such file or directory
/opt/PlaneShift/psclient: line 8: exec: /home/fotis/psclient.bin: cannot execute: No such file or directory   
So is there a possible solution to my problem?

[Caarrie]

what command and from what directory are you trying to run it from? it looks like you are in the right directory [possibly] and not running the correct command to get the client to run as it is not finding it. if you

Code: [Select]

ls does it list psclient in the folder you are in?

[fotakou]

I am using the conventional command,/opt/PlaneShift/psclient and i am getting the above lines.Also when i run ls /opt/PlaneShift,psclient is in the folder i am in.Nontheless i still can not run it 

[fotakou]

All Hail fotaku!!!I believe i have found the solution
first of all open the konsole and type
cd /opt/PlaneShift (or wherever you have installed the game)
then type
sudo ./psclient
give your password and it will open!Hopefully it will help others too

you should definitely not run any user application as root. root is the administrative user.
you should change the permissions or the ownership of the planeshift installation to your normal user account.

Alternatively you could also install planeshift into a local folder within your home directory and select "no" to set permissions in the installer, this will do fine and you are on the save side since you, as user won't need write permissions in any system folder.

Just as reminder: NEVER RUN USER APPLICATIONS AS ROOT

Ok, I'm running a Ubuntu 8.04 distro, with KDE installed (not the full Kubuntu).  I tried four times to install on KDE, but I couldn't get it to work, (I used this guide for two of those times).  I then thought that I would try it on Gnome using this guide.  It worked just fine.  It runs in Gnome and in KDE now.  I don't know what the problem was, but I finally can play without going into my Windows partition (I like to stay out of that as much as possible.) 

Thanks!
