I recently purchased the humble bundle but I am having trouble installing the games and getting them to run.

Some of them are .sh and others are .bin files. On a terminal, I have cd to the location where I downloaded them to and typed chmod +x * so I can apply it to the games that I downloaded. After that i type sudo ./gamefile.sh for the game that is a .sh file.

And when I try to run them I get error saying that a file is not found in the game directory but I see it there and even checked the permissions.

Another game that is a .sh file as well, runs and loads but then it just sends me to straight to the desktop. I don't know if its relevant but I am running the latest Ubuntu version on a Chromebook.

So after trying all of the suggestions, I failed to notice an error reported by the terminal while it was installing.

  • But there is no gamefile.sh file. Feb 27, 2014 at 8:03
  • Sorry, I should have noted that I used gamefile.sh as an example for a game.

  • by the way I guess you have done full access to your downloaded games files.if not, you can also try thoose: -1- cd /your path where game downloaded -2- ls -la (9 to view file priliviges) -3- chown your username your filename -4- chgrp your username your filename -5- chmod +w filename -6- chmod +x yourfilename -7- chmod +r yourfilename try to full acces.because some files needs to extend to hard drive

.sh games:

  1. First of all, download the file that you are going to execute e.g. "name_of_file.sh" and save it in your Desktop

  2. Secondly open the Terminal

  3. Now type cd ~/Downloads (With this command we change the default directory "/" to "/Downloads")

  4. Then type chmod +x name_of_file.sh to make your file executable.

  5. Then type sh ./name_of_file.sh to execute the file.

  6. After that continue as usual.

.bin games:

the .bin files are CD/DVD images it's just a binary file containing installation media just like your normal CD, you will also need .cue files to show the virtual drive emulator where the bin file is located

To create a new .cue file, right-click in the folder where the .bin file is located. Select New, then Text Document. Notepad should open. Enter the following lines into the Notepad document:

    FILE "filename.bin" BINARY
    TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00

Change “filename” to the name of the .bin file you are loading.

Click File, then Save As… name the file the same as the .bin file, and change the extension from .txt to .cue. Click Save.

Create separate .cue for their respective .bin files (like setup-1.cue,setup-2.cue)

Download daemon tools http://www.disc-tools.com/download/daemon and install it.

then there are 2 ways to open the cue file: 1.You can drag the .cue file onto the icon for the virtual drive in the bottom window of Daemon Tools if you have the program open. The image will mount automatically and the computer will act as if the CD was just inserted.

  1. If you enabled the tray agent then Right-click on the Daemon Tools icon. Select Virtual Devices, then the drive that was created. If there is nothing currently mounted, it will say No Media. Click on Mount Image… Browse for your .cue file and open it. The image will be mounted and the computer will act as if the CD was just inserted.

  • probably better to use bash instead of sh bash file.shand with bash you do not need to do all this chmod commands.
