Running Teamspeak 3 on Ubuntu 14.04 issue

Question

I tried installing Teamspeak 3 and got up to the point where I run ts3client_runscript.sh and changed it to run as a program. However, it still opens with Gedit.

Can someone help me please.

Here is how to run a .sh file.

Ensure the sh file has execution permissions, to do this right click the file and go to properties and ensure Allow executing file as program is checked.
Right-click on a blank space in the folder that the .sh file is located (not on the sh file itself!). Select the option to Open in Terminal :

(You can also just cd into the location of the file like so: cd ~/Desktop )
Type the following command:
```
 ./sample.sh
```
Where sample is the name of your file. Be sure to add the ./ at the beginning.
Hit Enter and your .sh file should run!

There is no option to open in terminal. Is there another way to do that. – Morpheus Dec 29 '15 at 19:05
Yup.. where is your file located – Trevor Clarke Dec 29 '15 at 19:05
You can open terminal, browse to the directory, and just run the script with ./ts3client_runscript.sh. – Caturday Saint Dec 29 '15 at 19:06
@Morpheus you can right click the file, click properties, and the path should be there it may look something like : /home/trevor/Desktop copy this, now in the terminal (open it with ctrl+alt+t) type in : cd /home/trevor/Desktop (or whatever the path was) .. now you can run the ./sample.sh command again – Trevor Clarke Dec 29 '15 at 19:08

It seems like i have to run those commands everytime to open teamspeak? – Morpheus Dec 29 '15 at 19:18
Yes, unless you create a .desktop file, which is a shortcut that can run the .sh file you can follow method here: http://askubuntu.com/a/299073/373012 but replace the information with your information – Trevor Clarke Dec 29 '15 at 19:21

You need to follow the following command

1. First make it executable

chmod u+x TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_XXX_XXX.run

2. Run the Installer

./TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_XXX-XXX.run

2.1 Press Enter to see the licens
2.2 Press down to scroll down to the end of the licens
2.3 Press Q to exit the licens
2.4 Answer Do you accept the license? (yes/no)" with "yes"

Teamspeak is now extracted at the main directory, the .run file has been.

3. Execute Teamspeak with the Terminal with ./ts3client_runscript.sh

4. (Optional) you can make a desktop starter like a desktop shortcut in windows

cd path/to/your/desktop
gedit teamspeak3-client.desktop

And paste the following data.
You may need to change the paths in this file !

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Teamspeak 3 Client
GenericName=Teamspeak
Comment=Speak with friends
Comment[de]=Spreche mit Freunden
Exec=/path/to/teamspeak/ts3client_runscript.sh
Icon=/path/to/teamspeak/pluginsdk/docs/client_html/images/logo.png
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Categories=Network
StartupWMClass=Teamspeak
StartupNotify=true
