The server saves activity logs (most of the time) in the debug file (debug.txt). You should contact the server owner to ask for the coordinates or correction of the error with the teleporter.

Some servers have an HTTP page for contact. To find this page, go to the list of public servers and click on the name of the server.

in terminal try
sudo chmod 777 ~/.minetest/mods

if that's the right dir. You should then be able to move files to that directory as non root

You should put your mods in the .minetest/mods dir (the .minetest dir is a hidden dir inside the home dir).
I must remember that the mods folder does not exist initially, so you should create it.

If the .minetest dir does not exist (you can use the ll command on the terminal to check) open the minetest at least once.

go to the mods directory in file manager if it has a address bar then copy/paste that location in the terminal so it's like
sudo chmod 777 (what you pasted)

i made a mods folder in the minetest folder home/.minetest/mods
i put locked sign and money mod in minetest folder
i get on minetest and there is no new mods on the game.
i dont know how to install it
also i had to make mods folder
is there something i forgot to do
or did i do something wrong.
the mods are named locked_sign and money, do i need to change the names or something.
also i got minetest from the ubuntu software center
my iso is ubuntu 16.10
i have minetest 0.4.15
i got mods from a modpack and drom what i seen they were named correctly.

Your directories should be organized as follows:

~$/.minetest/mods/locked_sign
~$/.minetest/mods/money

After you put the mod folders in the right place, the mods will be available in minetest so you can enable them in the worlds you want.

I believe you should preferably play with minetest installed by ppa. I also use ubuntu 16.

ppa:minetestdevs/stable

Here is a short article I created to do this with only 3 commands. But you need to uninstall the current minetest.
