    Hm, I thought I tried Alt+F2 to look for it before..

    anyways... I guess I will try that code now..

    Edit: Egh. Okay, well, my user folders name is erik. So I tried:

    Code:
     erik@LinuxK:~$ cd/home/erik/Download
    bash: cd/home/erik/Download: No such file or directory
    If I try just entering cd /home it will find my home directory.

    Code:
     erik@LinuxK:~$ cd /home
    erik@LinuxK:/home$
    after that I can't access the erik folder or download.

    Could I move the .bin file to my home directory and open it there?

    Are you using Kubuntu? If so do ALT-F2 and enter the command "konsole" (minus the double quotes).

    Edit We are all too eager to help eh.

    Yes yes, I already got to Konsole. What I need help with is what exactly I have to type in Konsole.

    Edit: Okay, well I am trying 2 different games, I moved both the .bin files into my home directory.

    One is PlaneShift, the filename is "PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin"

    The other is Savage2: "Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin"

    If your username is erik, your home directory is /home/erik, not /home. Download folder was just an example.
    Execute the following commands to get the basics of what I'm talking about

    Code:
    cd /home/erik
    ls
    cd Desktop
    ls
    All you need to do is to find out in which folder you saved your .bin file and use it's path when executing cd command.

    As a temporary solution, move your .bin file to desktop and execute the following commands:
    Code:
    cd $HOME/Desktop
    sudo chmod +x unknown.bin
    ./unknown.bin
    ** Replace unknown with the name of your .bin file.

    Oh my g- ... I always make stupid mistakes like that!
    I feel like the EFG of Ubuntu Forums

    Edit:
    Code:
    erik@LinuxK:~$ cd /home/erik
    erik@LinuxK:~$ ls
    Desktop    Pictures                    Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin
    Documents  PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin  Templates
    Download   Public                      Videos
    Music      Rush Discography
    Progress!

    Code:
     sudo chmod +x Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin
     ./Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin
    After that the installer appeared!
    Oh joy!

    Well, I learned something today, every day is a new adventure with Linux :B

    Edit Edit:
    Code:
    erik@LinuxK:~$ cd /home/erik/Savage2
    erik@LinuxK:~/Savage2$ sudo chmod +x savage2.bin
    erik@LinuxK:~/Savage2$  ./savage2.bin
    warning: The VAD has been replaced by a hack pending a complete rewrite
    Savage2 - Fatal Error: OpenGL 2.0 not available.
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)
    erik@LinuxK:~/Savage2$
    What an anti-climactic ending to that

    I need to DL OpenGL?
