Aloha
I am trying to run Teamspeak and it mu st be run from ( ts3client_runscript.sh ) but all it does is open a window that says Execute with 4 choices
( Execute , Execute in terminal, open and cancel ) none of which starts the program any help would be greatly appreciated :) really really dont want to go back to windows lol

I did see someone on these forums say this but i do not see these options in Zorin 8 lite any where
In Nautilus use Location Options (upper right):
Preferences | Behaviour | Executable Text Files
and select
Run executable text files when they are opened

OK, Unpack if compressed then open a terminal and navigate to where the .sh is and enter:

Code:
sudo ./[package name]


:D

Savage Teamspark 3 installed perfect under [ Wine ].
Now whether it will work for you....and that it actaully works....that's a different story

Install either Teamspark 3 32/64-bit.exe

you should run in terminal personally I just open terminal and run the following.
Code:
rootdir="~/teamspeak_directory"
cd $rootdir
./ts3client_runscript.sh &
exit


where rootdir is the teamspeak directory, in my case it is ~/.teamspeak. and it can be shortened to something like
Code:
cd ~/.teamspeak; ./ts3client_runscript.sh & exit


if you get a "Permission denied" error then you should run this
Code:
chmod 550 ./ts3client_runscript.sh

then you shouldn't get the permission denied error any more.

Let us know if it helps.
