PlaneShift and Ubuntu

[Volvox]

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04.

I have searched Google, looking for help on my issues. I got a bit farther, finally installing PlaneShift.

However, it will not launch.

I agreed during setup to have desktop icons. I click the PlaneShift icon there, and nothing happens.

I have installed it in /games/Planeshift. So next I went there, and tried launching both the client and the file labeled launcher. They both appear as 'executable text files', and failed to launch the game.

I have went into the properties section on all mentioned icons and clicked to "allow running as an executable program." I did this after trying a first time without that option.

Furthermore, I looked at the "PS launch not playing ball" topic, and tried what was recommended there...

Code: [Select]

andrewu@ubuntu:~$ /home/andrewu
bash: /home/andrewu: Is a directory
andrewu@ubuntu:~$ ./pslaunch --console
bash: ./pslaunch: No such file or directory
andrewu@ubuntu:~$ /home/andrewu/Games/PlaneShift
bash: /home/andrewu/Games/PlaneShift: Is a directory
andrewu@ubuntu:~$ ./pslaunch --console
bash: ./pslaunch: No such file or directory

I've been looking at PS for months now, and every go at installing it (now across 3 different computers) has failed. This time, with a different operating system. Any help would be much appreciated.

Try to do the following:

Code: [Select]

cd /home/andrewu/Games/PlaneShift
chmod +x *.bin psclient pslaunch

Now try to run it from the desktop launcher again. PS has this unpleasant bug with binaries loosing their executable flag.

It turns out my hardware isn't good enough to run the game on this computer, so I only get as far as char creation, but nonetheless, I thank you for your time.

if your intention was to reach the game directory, you forgot part of the command I guess:

Code: [Select]

andrewu@ubuntu:~$ cd /home/andrewu/Games/PlaneShift
