Cant launch? ubuntu 10.04 - shadowfaxim - 01-24-2011

You also have to make sure that your working directory is in the game folder.. The simplest to achieve that is to go to the game folder in a console before starting it manually from there..
actually, yeah the shell script should work without manually setting the working directory (i always wrote my own to do that - didn't even see there is already a script setup to do just that).. So maybe the script has a but.. Does manually changing the working dir and then running the executable directly work for you?

You browse folders on a command line very much like you do in a gui. In ubuntu when you open the terminal, your current working directory will be your "/home/yourusername" directory. Commands you need to know to browse/change working directory:
"ls" - lists all the files and folders in your current working directory.
"cd" - change directory, as in "cd xonotic" to change your working directory to the xonotic folder, in the folder you were previously viewing.
"cd .." - will take you up one folder to the directory you were previously in.
Here's an example of how you might browse to your xonotic folder and run the game:
First, extract the game folder to your home folder, if you havent already. Open a terminal and observe the following commands (your paths/folder names will differ slightly from my own of course):
Code:
jaywalker@JayNix-Desktop:~$ ls
add-remove reconstructor list examples.desktop Nexuiz Templates
AssaultCube FreeBasic nvclock fan Ubuntu One
BackInTime HALO Pictures umjnx.sh
BF1942.pid lmms Public UT2004

I meant a console as in terminal..
Not the ingame console..
