Trouble installing on Linux

I've got Linux Ubuntu on SM28 now, and I'm trying to install the F@H client. When I try to run the setup executable I get this error :

Couldn't display "/home/cbdroege/Desktop/FAH504-Linux.exe".

Can anyone help?

    are you trying to run it from the gui? Go into a terminal and make sure it is set to executable:

    type the following in exactly:

    chmod +x /home/cbdroege/Desktop/FAH504-Linux.exe
    mkdir /home/cbdroege/fah
    mv /home/cbdroege/Desktop/FAH504-Linux.exe /home/cbdroege/fah
    cd /home/cbdroege/fah
    ./FAH504-Linux.exe

    That will move the executable to its own folder (you don't want to run it on the desktop, it will make files all over the place), and then execute it.

    Thanks. I've never used Linux before, so I might need a little hand-holding. Hopefully this system will be back up and running, and I wont have to fiddle with it anymore...

    Believe me, you hold no license of exclusivity in the hand holding arena. I have only recently started coming into a sense of comfort in the unix world, and it has been a years-long journey with my hand being held by others. That's how we all learn :)
