(Solved) Client not starting (Unbuntu x64 + DDNet x32)

[Calynth]

When I try to run the program, nothing happens, no error text, nothing. I am new to linux, and have never seen this problem on windows in almost a year of playing on ddnet. I just extracted the whole file from the tar.gz, and tried to run "DDnet".

open a terminal in the same directory your client is located and run the client using ./DDNet. Post the output here.

Not knowing anything I guess libsdl is missing. Install it using sudo apt-get install libsdl-dev
If that does not help run sudo apt-get build-dep teeworlds

well you can open a terminal using ctrl + alt + t. Now you can navigate to your ddnet-client directory using cd. For example if your client is located in Downloads/DDNet-Client just use cd Downloads/DDNet-Client. Now you can run the client as written above.

Or you you can use right click in your filemanager after installing nautilus-open-terminal using sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal in a terminal. I never knew why this is not installed by default :D

EDIT: why did you delete your post?

the output for trying to run the client from the directory /Downloads/DDnet-9.2-linux_x86 is bash: ./DDnet: no such file or directory. Same output for just /DDnet. I did both of these before, and after installing libsdl, which was missing. Even after, it was the same result.
I did install nautilus-open-terminal right after I mentioned that after a quick google search.

./DD[b]N[/b]et

Better use tab to autocomplete. So just type ./DD and tab

Still nothing.

[kamillentee]

type pwd and post output here
