I have installed Teamspeak 3 using this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92G6KYdlCRc.

Once I try to run the .sh file nothing happens. I try to run it in terminal same thing.

I made the file executable and changed the setting to ask me how to run executable files.

Could someone please help?

  • you shouldn't have to make the file executable, it already is. just click and drag it into a terminal and press enter. you do not need to type sh before doing so because it's actually a bash file and not sh script anyhow.

  • Just tried what you said and same thing happened. It asked me what I wanted to do: run, run in terminal, cancel. When I click "run" or "run in terminal" nothing happens

  • update After dragging the file into the terminal and selecting "run" and nothing happened, I hit enter again then this error appeared "/home/sean/Downloads/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64/ts3client_runscript.sh: line 16: ./ts3client_linux_amd64: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

  • BTW if you are using a 64 bit machine, you can install the amd64 version of ubuntu even if it is intel if you would like to use the 64 bit version of ubuntu. i386 is 32bit.

  • Okay, I've included a step by step that will get the 32 bit teamspeak up and running in 3 simple commands.

The following error is common when trying to run a 64 bit application on a 32 bit (x86 or i386) version of linux

cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

So it seems you have the 32bit (i386) version of Ubuntu and you are trying to run 64bit teamspeak. Open a terminal and execute the following commands:

First command will download the 32 bit (x86) version to your home folder:

wget http://dl.4players.de/ts/releases/3.0.16/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86-3.0.16.run

Next command will run the run file:

sh TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86-3.0.16.run

Finally, after you accept the user agreement, run the following command to start teamspeak:

~/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86/ts3client_runscript.sh

Please post any errors, thanks!
