I can't launch Portal 2 through Steam. Terminal gives me this:

This line says that user zvon has read write access to the file portal2.sh
This line also says that file portal2.sh does not have permissions to execute as a program.
If you right click the file and go to properties then permissions and click on
'allow executing file as a program'
Then it should work
by contrast this line
-rwxrwxr-x 1 zvon zvon 304942 Mar 14 14:25 portal2.ico
says that an icon file or picture has permissions to execute as a program.
Did that and did the same thing for "portal2_linux" and it works now, thanks a lot! :)
You're very welcome.
