Try running it from the console:

cd /path/to/paintball2
./paintball2

I doubt it's going to run very well on an eeepc.

is it cd /path/to/paintball2 <ENTER>
then ./paintball2

? or all in one command?

i tried both and it said this:

Code: [Select]

/home/user> cd path/to/paintball2
bash: cd: path/to/paintball2: No such file or directory
/home/user> ./paintball2
bash: ./paintball2: No such file or directory
/home/user> cd /path/to/paintball2
bash: cd: /path/to/paintball2: No such file or directory
/home/user> cd /path/to/paintball2.
bash: cd: /path/to/paintball2.: No such file or directory
/home/user> cd /path/to/paintball2./paintball2
bash: cd: /path/to/paintball2./paintball2: No such file or directory
/home/user>

path/to/paintball2 = where you have your paintball installed, hence the PATH / TO / PAINTBALL

By the way, you do have to actually extract the 'linux file' :)

Right click the tar.gz file and select "Extract here."  It doesn't matter where, but I'd suggest in ~/ (your home directory).
