New to Ubuntu 11.04

[H3R1T4G3]

Well new to anything linux really. And I'm trying/hope to set up a teamspeak 3 server but have no idea what I'm doing. I tried reading the sticky, but didn't understand a word of it. Could someone possibly give me command line steps? That would be amazing.

Hello

Connected as root:

adduser ts3server
passwd <choose a password>

su ts3server
wget http://teamspeak.gameserver.gamed.de/ts3/releases/3.0.0/teamspeak3-server_linux-<arch>-3.0.0.tar.gz
tar xvfz teamspeak3-server_linux-<arch>-3.0.0.tar.gz
cd teamspeak3-server_linux-<arch>

./ts3server_startscript.sh start

where <arch> is "x86" or "amd64"

After that when you want stop start or retsart your Teamspeak server, always use the new linux user (here ts3server).

Don't forget to read the documentation : TeamSpeak 3 Server Quick Start.txt

fyi in Ubuntu you will need to sudo su in order to become like root. the root account is disabled in ubuntu. so revised would be...

sudo su
adduser ts3server
passwd <choose a password>

su ts3server
wget http://teamspeak.gameserver.gamed.de/ts3/releases/3.0.0/teamspeak3-server_linux-<arch>-3.0.0.tar.gz
tar xvfz teamspeak3-server_linux-<arch>-3.0.0.tar.gz
cd /home/ts3srv/teamspeak3-server_linux-<arch>

./ts3server_startscript.sh start

EDIT: as i see you are using 11.04 i would recommend disabling unity due to the fact that is consumes an amazing amount of system resources. here are instructions: http://www.virtualhelp.me/linux/324-...on-ubuntu-1104

I did everything that was listed and it worked. Thank you. Just one other issue. Do I have to be signed into the ts3server account for it to run? Cause that's the way it appears. I tried switching users from terminal or something like that, but it didn't work. However, if i sign into the actual ts3 account via switching users, i can connect to the server just fine. But only then. There is no way that I can keep the server continuously running without having to switch back and forth between users? I always have my comp. up and running. i just want to the server to be up and running 24/7. Is it possible?

it's been a while since i've done this but i believe if you leave the terminal window open it should work

su ts3server
cd /home/ts3server/teamspeak3-server_linux-<arch>
./ts3server_startscript.sh start

i did find a mistake in the commands we gave before. you were told to cd to the user folder of ts3srv where it should have been ts3server. sorry.
