The error message shows that you typed "cd /home/user/clockwork" - I guess you meant to type something like "cd /home/user/Games/clockwork" ?

If you have more probs, copy/paste the output from xterm here...

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
 

well i fallowed this guide: http://wiki.maemo.org/Preenv/FAQ

but i dont understand it.
where shall i move the folder to (the game folder)?

shall i use winscp to move the game folder somewhere ?

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
 

cus when i do this one:

command:
# chown -R user:users game-folder

it gives me an error

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
 

Have a google for some introduction to the Linux command line sites.

Copy/paste the output from your xterm to here - just telling us the chown command gives "an error" doesn't help much....

and inside: Nokia N900/applications/clockwork/clockwork
theres files called: clockwork.big and clockwork

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
 

seems you probably need to

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
 

Okay did that..

but i cant Desktopgen appinfo.json

it :/

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
 

it says: its not executable

or how u spell it

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
 

You'll probably need to To see which file it's using as the main executable

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
 

"id": "com.glu.app.clockwork",
"version": "1.0.0",
"vendor": "Glu Mobile",
"type": "game",
"main": "clockwork/clockwork.exe",
"title": "Jump O'Clock",
"icon": "icon.png",
"requiredMemory": 90


- Could you maybe type what i should whrite to get this working ?:)
if you dont mind. cus ive got no idea.
kinda new to this. never installed a game via xterm :/

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
 

chmod clockwork.exe to be executable as in the tries above

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
 

chmod +x /home/user/MyDocs/applications/clockwork/clockwork/clockwork.exe ?

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
 

klaus: pls learn at least 2 commands - ls lists directory items, cd changes directory you're in, guessing you added extra/useless clockwork in your above command, but troubleshooting this way will take forever. Learn those two and when you navigate to a directory containing clockwork.exe file 'chmod +x clockwork.exe'.

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
 

Yes!

Note, when the command "works" it doesn't report anything in xterm - it will just go back to the $ prompt.

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
 

forget it..

i got pass that step, but i cant get any further. tried - but it wont let me.

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
 

Pfft.... don't bother asking for help again then...

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
 

.exe-files are usually for windows! i guess it's a self-extracting archive, which contains the game... chmod will not work on a fat-partition, usually MyDocs is fat32.

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
 

Usually exe's are Windows executables, but in this case:
Besides, OP has told everyone trying to help him to 'forget it'....

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
 

lol.. just because im no good at codes.
not everyone is as good as you guys are.. well ill try again putting the game folder somewhere else
¨than MyDocs

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
 

I am asking for help because i dont know the commands.. and MAYBE ive been doing it wrong. but im tryin.

Re: WebOS - n900 problems help please
