I have looked around and cannot find any solutions to my problem. I have downloaded ts3 using this video for 12.04. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbBBPo3A-jE The problem I'm getting is that when I double click on the file at the end of the file as shown at the end of the video it just comes up in Gedit. I am not sure what to do and have browsed around. As well s that, I am not really sure about what I am doing with the system I am using and the Terminal. Everything I have searched I either do not understand and doesn't work when I try it (Maybe because I am doing it incorrectly) or isn't for my version and isn't valid for me. I would like to know how to run it from the stage I have got up to. I understand that the version I am using is out of date but I am unable to update it at the current moment.

Make the file executable

Before double clicking on the file do the following:

  1. Right click on the file
  2. Select Properties
  3. Select Permissions tab
  4. Check the box Allow executing file as program
  5. Close the properties window

Change how Nautilus behaves when you click on an executable text file

  1. Go to the Edit > Preferences menu in Nautilus
  2. Go to the Behavior tab of the Files Preference window.
  3. Click either Run executable text file when opened or Ask each time and close the window.

enter image description here

Now double clicking will run the file as program or it will open a window and you will be able to choose whether to edit the file in Gedit or run it.

Hope this helps
