Running/Playing PS AFTER Installation

[LDC2357]

OK so I've installed Planeshift on my Xubuntu 11.10 Netbook, from terminal  , but now I can't find anything to click or run to actually run the game . The installation wouldn't allow me to install into /opt so I put the game files in /home/NAME/Planeshift. There is no shortcut in my menu, and i don't know what to do with the .bin files for the game, any help would be appreciated.

Open a shell (terminal), type "cd ~/PlaneShift" and then "./pslaunch". This should start the launcher. ("~" == "$HOME" == home directory of your user)

(In case you used the installer and gave it another directory it might be that you have to use "cd ~/opt/PlaneShift"...no clue but last time I tried it the installer created an "opt" directory for me when trying to install PS in my home directory)

If that works you can still create a shortcut manually..no clue how this works exactly in xfce4 but I guess it's not so hard to create a shortcut pointing to pslaunch.

ok I feel really dumb now, but the pslaunch ran from the folder. It works and im downloading the update now.

once the update finishes you will likely need to mark pslaunch as executable or it will fail to run.

pslaunch won't run, not even in terminal:

NAME@NAME:~/Games/PlaneShift$ ./pslaunch
./pslaunch: line 5: /home/NAME/Games/PlaneShift/pslaunch.bin: Permission denied
./pslaunch: line 5: exec: /home/NAME/Games/PlaneShift/pslaunch.bin: cannot execute: Permission denied

I made sure that it was running as an executable, but it still doesn't run, the properties for it says its a shell script.

"chmod +x pslaunch.bin"
"chmod +x psclient.bin"

(in the PS directory)
It's a known bug...the PS executables loose their execution rights after an update.
