Exporting

[Loronal]

Okay I just changed to ubuntu . But the folder used for export scripts is currently locked. I need someone to tell me how to unlock it since I cant export g3d without exporting on windows and emailing myself the .g3ds

What do you mean by locked, you don't have permissions to it or what?

If it won't let you move the file the regular way, you probably need to do it via command line.

cd <path to the directory where your script is>
sudo mv <name of script file> <path to the blender script directory>

So it might be something like:
cd ~/Desktop
sudo mv g3dexportscript.py usr/share/blender/.blender/scripts

I might have that directory wrong and I'm not on my own computer, so I can't really check, but you get the idea.

I thought you put the scripts in: "/home/<username>/.blender/scripts".
That's where I put mine, and it worked!

You probably know better than I do.  I haven't been using Linux very much lately.

This doesnt solve my problem it says that .blender is roots folder and I cant access it does the root user have a specific password to use it to unlock the folderr
@archmage this is my problem it wont let me get through it

[Loronal]

Dude, do you have sudo privileges?

[Loronal]

Whats that
All I know is that I'm gonna run glest on wine since the package manager doesnt give me permissions it gives them to root and i cant edit the glest ini or anything else

Dude SUDO= SuperUserDO
That means you have administrative privileges.

As far as I know, the latest version you can run under WINE is 3.1.2.
Although, back when I used Kubuntu 8.04 I could run Glest 3.2.2 under some version of WINE that I can't remember, but I think it was 1.0.1, but I tried it again, and it didn't work.....

BTW, you need SUDO privileges to get WINE.

Im downloading it so I do and why wouldnt I I am the only acount so there wouldnt be a possibilty to not have it. by the way it might be because I used Wubi to install ubuntu.

Well then, the SUDO password is: <your password>.
