I recently installed 11.4. It's awesome. But when I tried to run opensong portable from my flash drive--the same file that I ran in openSUSE 11.3--it gives this dialog:There is no application installed that can open files of the type executable (application/x-executable).Do you want to try to install one?When I clicked "Install", it opened up yast and installed "TrackBalls", a game. I don't know how trackballs is supposed to help me run opensong.
I have been trying to get Wine to work in Fedora and have had nothing but problems. First of all, I can't open executables in the GUI. If I try, I get a message that says, "The program start.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close."
I can open .exe's in the terminal, but when I tried to install iTunes it wasn't able to complete the installation. I got an error message from SELinux that said something about a memory error, and then it asked me if I wanted to turn off some sort of memory management setting. I said yes and it asked me for my password, which I gave, and then it said "unable to grant access". It no longer gives me this error message (that's why I can't recall what it said verbatim), and instead just hangs at the point where I got the error message before. I've tried using Wine in Ubuntu before and could never get anything working in a half-decent way, so this isn't a big surprise.
Since ugprading today to a fresh install of Xubuntu 11.04 I am unable to open .exe's through Thunar my file manager with 'WINE Program Loader'
Wine 1.2.2.
When I try to i receive the error:
Quote:
The file '/media/DUMP/Downloads/anything.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.
When I check the permissions tab of properties there is no option to make it executable as per screenshot.
Also using chmod +x doesn't change anything but I am able to open .exe using WINE in the terminal but I would rather I did not have to do this every time I use WINE.
I have no intention of using mIRC, it was just a small windows installer I downloaded for testing.
After getting 11.4 up and running, I wanted to install some of the programmes I use.when ever I click on the executable file it tries to down load the thunderball game, and when i try Code:./setup it denies permission even as su.this happens on two different applications i am trying to install. (only two i have tried)
When I mistype a name of an executable program in terminal, ubuntu tries to search for similar programs in packages and then suggests names. This takes time, slowing down work and entirely useless for me. How to turn this feature off?
I personally can't even find a reason for implementing this feature and rather making it turned on by default. If someone needs a tool, he/she can search through packages.
I have a 'bin' directory in my home that contains executables. For example: scandirs.sh.It's in my PATH, so I can just type 'scan{tab}{tab} to run it. But 'which scandirs.sh' returns nothing.
I'm wondering why in order to run executables after compilation i have to type >"./executableName" I want it to type it just like >"executableName" (with no "./")
I don't know if this matters but I'm using tcsh for my shell...
I just installed the xubuntu-desktop package on my netbook (running UNR), and I've got one major complaint about xfce.
I can't right-click on icons in the Applications menu and add them to the launcher!Instead I have to know the location of the executable for the application, so that I can right-click the panel, add a launcher, and then type the location of the executable in and manually select an icon for it...Of course it probably wouldn't be a pain if I could find everything. In Windows, if I want to know the location of a program that's running, I just open Task Manager, right-click the application, and select Properties.
Is there some equivalent or command-line way of finding the location of a running application in Linux?
A few I'd like to know the location of are: 1) Gnome System Monitor 2) Terminal 3) Swiftfox ... and I'll probably think of others.
Even though I'm using XFCE, I figured this fell under the "all variants" category since my main question is just how to find the locations of executables...
I want to install an executeable and I am not sure how to do this. My intuition was to copy the executeable in the /usr/bin folder, but when I call it now, it says permission denied (and obviously I don't want to call the program with sudo every time).
I want to launch other executable from my cpp code. I am aware that system() call may do this , But, problem is that , I want my cpp code to capture the standard hat "called" program is writing to stdout.
I have C/C++ source codes and the corresponding binaries in proj/src and proj/bin.I have `import`ed both directories into my svn project and then `checkout`ed both. Later I made changes to the source code and hence new executables, but I'm not able to `checkin` the executables back to the svn project.`svn status` ignores the executables in the proj/bin directory. What should I do to `checkin` executables?

I was trying to compile xbmc today, and got the error about the c compiler not being able to create executables. I did a search on the forum, and found something from 2004.None of the suggestions there worked for me. I can compile libraries, because I did a few for dependencies. The last thing I compiled with an executable was BloodFrontier, and it works perfectly.
earlier this morning, i compiled Qtcurve with no issues. but now, when i try to compile Avant Window Navigator, i get a strange error. everything begins to compile, it checks dependencies, begins compiling, and then i get this error:
Code: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
I am working on a custom hand-held device which runs a variant of Ubuntu Linux, 2.6.18. I have a set of 4 binary files (for oprofile) which have been known to run in this environment, but when I copy them to /usr/bin, I can't run them: I get this message;root@ldogberry:/usr/bin# ./ophelp-sh: ./ophelp: not foundThis happens when I specify the full path, when I run from the /usr/bin directory -- it happens no matter what. Bash even does command-line completion on the file -- and then turns around and instantly claims the file is not found.
Have installed Wine - version 1.2.3-Oubuntu1-ppa2-maverick1(wine1.2) from the Ubuntu softwear center . Downloaded windows executable PAF5EnglishSetup.exe which is a Genealogy softwear program from a trusted source (familysearch.org) .
However , when i attempt to open with Wine Windows Program Loader i get the pop up window saying the file is not marked as executable then reference to "executable bit" . I then see the following:
"You should only mark a file as executable via the file permissions if you know what you are doing." I do not know what i am doing . Therefore , reluctant to go messing with something i am not familiar with but i really need this softwear installed .
Just trying to set up a new backup using tar, but there are a few things I dont want to include. Using --exclude I can exclude sub-directories, but how do I exclude specific files in a subdirectory that are (for instance) executables or have a specific extension?
How do I find paths on ubuntu. I have installed redcar(ide written in ruby similar to textmate) and rvm for ruby. However I cannot locate where the executables are to update my .bashrc.
What i am i doing wrong? i download these very good app's from yast and at times i run into a problem when you click on the app and it looks like it wants to open,the application's icon is on the bottom panel and the icon is bouncing up and down where there cursor is and then eventually it disappears.Is it timing out?
We have a digital signage appliance built on SUSE 11.3 with a LAMP server that uses the flashplayer application to play a .swf file from localhost. It is a AOpen GP7A mini pc that has the nVidia drivers loaded. We have lots of customers that have been running the exact same system for over 6 months (we image the drive for each sale).
For some reason, my last customer is seeing the following problem shown below, and this linux configuration is way over my head. Everything else is working (local LAMP server is working, communicating with our production servers to get information works, etc). I have verified that it is screen 0 that is running (at least it shows with Ctrl-Alt-F7). I thought that it may have occurred because of updating the software with zypper up. I had the customer rebuild from the image being careful not to upgrade the software. The result was the same. The pc is a newer version compared to my bench pc, but there are multiple other customers running that same version just fine. So I am not sure if it is
The command is issued by a php script that is run in a root cron job. As I said, it works great on all other customer pc's including my bench system. I also tried to execute the command on a ssh terminal as the root user with the same result. I also upgraded my bench pc and it still worked properly.
The command being executed is sudo env DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/home/svision/.Xauthority flashplayer http://localhost/flash/sign.swf &
the result (when run in terminal) is: No protocol specified (flashplayer:15077): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
I'm trying to do a ./configure on ntfs-3g, and I get this error that says "error: C compiler cannot create executables." I have gcc, g++ and everything installed, but I don't have build-essential. It's an offline server so I can't use apt-get to install it. I also can't find an RPM for CentOS. Is that what I need to resolve this? Or is this error caused by something else?
I'm trying to compile a program on Cygwin and it seems like as soon as I solve one problem, another pops up. This time, trying to run configure gets me an error message.
The relevant part of my config.log is included below:
I installed Cygwin with everything that was in the Devel folder, just to be on the safe side.
I am having some trouble when I try to link my custom libraries to target executables. There are two libraries
liba libb
and an executable exec based on main.o The library libb has some reference to liba. Now if I put the libraries in same directories, I can compile the code as g++ -o exec main.o liba.a libb.a But, if I put the libraries in different directories, say d1 and d2, and use the command as g++ -o exec main.o d1/liba.a d2/libb.a I get an error as undefined reference to some function in liba. I am not sure if I am missing some thing in linking process. Also, if libb doesnot refer any functions in liba, there is no error in either of the case.
The following message comes up when I boot up: Logging in user Warning: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 0. When I press OK, the system completes the start up and everything looks normal. But when I try to connect to internet, I get the following message:
KNetworkManager cannot start because the installation is misconfigured. System DBUS policy does not allow it to provide user settings; contact your system administrator or distribution. KNetworkManager will not start automatically in future. If I reboot the system, I logg in successfully. So far the problem has appeared approximately upon every second time I boot up. Rebooting the system seems to take care of it.
Don't know what info is of interest. I'm using
Opensuse 11.2 KDE 4.4.2 (Factory) After upgrade from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 it worked fine for a week or so.
