Install Ubuntu, Please Help

2juicy4you · 09-15-2010, 09:34 PM

ok so I have downloaded the 64 bit version 3 times now because someone in the forums said that it might have been corrupt, seems the torrent cannot be downloaded atm due to my ignorance or something else says connection denied, I have opened my terminal window and navigated to the directory, chmod'd it and tried to use the line command, nothing happened at all, they I tried to do it again with a different line command and got the notice that it could not access the file to it being a .bin extension, I have no idea how to execute or work with this type of file, when I double click the file in the firefox download windows it ask me to choose an application to handle the file, still am at a loss for that.

I have made sure in the file properties that it does have permission to execute, but still nothing, please help have tried alot of things and none of them seem to work...

My skill level with Linux is Meh, and my knowledge of it is even more Meh! I see alot of comments about installing this and some people seem to be able to just execute the program install app, that seems to be unavailable in my case. If its not to much trouble would you mind putting this in format, do blah blah blah step a, then blah blah step b and so on i need it basic

thnk I am working on ver 10.4 of Ubuntu

Sincerely

Find the file in the file manager, right click on it, go to the permissions tab and click the box for 'Allow executing'. After that, just double click to run the installer.

Code:

cd /path/to/file
./RegnumOnlineInstall_64

That should launch the installer if permissions are ok.

cd means change directory

The dot infront of the slash is important because it says the file is in the current directory.

There also is/was a problem with the Linux downloads.
Regnum uses 2 download servers for load balancing, and the executable file for the Linux 64-bit installer varies between these servers. (http://regnumonline.com.ar/forum/showthread.php?t=62678)

I can't say for sure if this is still the case, as I haven't check it for a while.
However, if it still exists, using a download accelerator or similar that tries to open several connections will result in a broken download all the time.

Also be sure you are under one X64 distro.
Today i tryed what all people told about 64 bits version.
I succes installed 64 bits under Ubuntu x64 and Mandriva x64.
To cheack what kind of distro you have type command:

Code:

arch

Reply must be x64 if you get reply like i386,i586 you are not under 64 biti version of linux and this can cause crash of installer.

I used direct download with DownThemAll addon for firefox.

Also how Myxir told:
Open one terminal and make him executable:

Code:

sudo chmod 777 /home/$USER/Desktop/regnuminstaller.bin

You need sudo rughts to make him executable.

Execute installer:

Code:

/home/$USER/Desktop/./insatllername.bin

Or login as root.
Give on pass for root:

Code:

sudo passwd root

Type new pass for root(twice)
After login as root:

Code:

su root

I hope you will be able to run installer.

Just a small thing.
Shouldn't "arch" return x86_64 on 64 Bit System?

Edit:
Just tried it on ArchLinux 64 Bit and it does
