New Computer Linux OS, no go

[Dan Kerman]

Just loaded Linux onto a new laptop...  copied my whole KSP folder over to this new computer, but when I try to launch the game using KSP.x86_64 executable which my old Linux computer used, I get the message, "The file KSP.x86_64  has no known programs associated with it. Use the Open With dialog to pick a program to open it with. What did I miss?

Check the permissions in the file properties. The executable must have the permission to be executed.

Wow.. and so much nicer...  moved up from a Dell Inspiron15 with 8 GB Ram, Ryzen 5 and on board graphics to an Acer Nitro 5, 17" display 1960x1080, 16 GB RAM Intel i5 9th Gen and 500 GB SSD. Loads in about 10% of the time, graphics are phenomenal...  gonna have to play with the settings later after dinner.
