there's a program I have that doesn't really install, you extract it to its folder, cd into it, then ./filename to start it. It works fine on my Debian install. But when I do this on Slackware, it just says 'no such file or directory'. The file most definitely is there, since ls shows it. the filename is only three letters long so I know I'm not mistyping it. I've tried in user and su. Any idea why it won't run?
I just installed the nmap for port scanning and then run ./configure , make , make install command respectively. It works and then I successfully installed nmap under /usr/local/bin . nmap is a executable file not .exe . so my question is how can I open it .
I've always been able to run my shell scripts and other executable files using dot slash, ie: ./runfile.shAfter doing a fresh 11.4 install, I cannot run my scripts. Even if I 'source' the file, it won't run. Why?This is an example of the files that will no longer run. Permissions look normal to me, but there is an * at the end of the filename. I think that just means it's executable, but I've never seen it on my systems before.

I cant make files executable anymore.using chmod or from file properties.. it isn't working. AS far as I remember, I didn't make any changes in the user settings and my account has the administrator rights. For an un-executable file, say a jpg or a txt, it can be done.but doesn't happen with a .sh, .py or any other xecutable. chmodi-ing shows no error, but the file isn't executable. Through the GUI, when I check the box , its immediately unchecked again.
I need to instal JDownloader, I downloaded as a linux version and this is the command line output (Archive Manager):
Archive: /root/Downloads/JDownloader/JDownloader.exe [/root/Downloads/JDownloader/JDownloader.exe] End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /root/Downloads/JDownloader/JDownloader.exe or /root/Downloads/JDownloader/JDownloader.exe.zip, and cannot find /root/Downloads/JDownloader/JDownloader.exe.ZIP, period.
Suppose there is a directory named mydir containing ... aaa.cpp aaa.h bbb.cpp bbb.h Makefile a b Where a,b are executable files. What I want to is to only copy a and b to another location. Is it possible? (other than by manually issuing copy a,b another_dir).
I just upgraded to 10.10 (everything was working fine in 10.04). I have .jar files that in 10.04 would execute with OpenJDK. Now I get an error message, telling me that it is blocked:
"The file '[path]' 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."
I try to set it as executable like it was before, and it's a no go. My checkmark takes then quickly disappears before my eyes.
you can make a file that runs the contents as if typed out by the user in command prompt by saving the file as either .bat or .cmd . When using BASH in ubuntu, is it possible to save terminal executable files (from a text editor, like GEDIT), What file ending does it take, can i lay it out with just commands? (what is the syntax)
In Xubuntu, I can't seem to mark files as executable. I go into the properties, but there is no option to do this. Is there a way to mark .exe and .jar files as executable in XFCE?
I have downloaded Unetbootin for linux. When I double clicked on it, it says, no application to open executable files.What application can open executable files?
I recently got the information that Windows software do not run in Linux as such. In order to run these software (Running the software also includes installing the software by running the set-up executable file) I need to install 'wine' on my system and then run the set-up files from within this 'wine'. I therefore wish to install 'wine' on my system in order to run the corresponding Windows set-up files (which are executable files). I am running Linux Mint version 10 on my system.
"failed to run * as user root, the gksu-run-helper program is not found or is not executable"
Tried googling and checking threads at LQ didnt find a solution or another instance running slackware64 current.. everything built fine, tried and everythings executable...I also have Alien's multilib installed, with only firefox and flashplugin as 32bit, everything else 64bit. I can't open any apps as root by normal user
I have created some text executable files and put them on my desktop. In the way of background I created them in gedit. Then used chmod ugo+x (filename) to make them executable. One of them is a ping test to see if a printer is on. Text in file = ping 192.168.1.5. Others are to turn my laptop touchpad on and off. text in file = sudo modprobe -i psmouse. I have 2 questions about executable text files:
- When I click on an executable text file it present a window with 4 options (Run in terminal, display, cancel, run). Can I set a parameter or do something else so it just runs in terminal? I know I can set an option in Nautilus to run them but when I select run nothing seems to happen. In addition I would want to set this option on a case by case basis not globally in Nautilus. If there is an option or flag where it would run this file in terminal I would use it on my printer ping test.
- When I click on these executable text files to turn my touchpad on and off, the text within the file uses the sudo command so that requires that I input my password. After I click on either of these files a window appears with the 4 options (Run in terminal, display, cancel, run). I select run in terminal, a terminal window opens and requests my password. Subsequent to inputting my password the file executes fine.
Is there a way to set a parameter or do something else so I don't need to not only select the run in terminal option from (run in terminal, display, cancel, run) but also not to enter my password?
what my intension is i want to cross complile vlc source code into arm9 mini 2440 target board for that i am compiling vlc source code in intel desktop pc which has fedora 10 version. so that in order to compile vlc source code we need to install following codecs those are libmad 0.15.1b,libid3tag-0.15.1b,madplay-0.15.1b,i got these codecs from h[URL] .and vlc sorce code from [URL]. i have successfully compiled libmad 0.15.1b and libid3tag-0.15.1b . those two are compiled in the following way [color] ./cofigure --prefix=/home/narendra/lib/ make make install [/color]
i was trying to compile madplay-0.15.1b in the following way
Code: ./configure --prefix=/home/narendra/madplay-0.15.1b CPPFLAGS="-I /home/narendra/lib/libmad-0.15.1b/include/" LDFLAGS="-L /home/narendra/lib/libid3tag-0.15.1b/lib/" after this command i keep getting this error message
I use Ubuntu 9.04 exclusively on my own machines, but I have a couple of flash drives that got infected by some corrupt windows executable (*.exe) files, probably by somebody's trojan (they are Cruzer 4GB so came with installed fancy programs that I dont need but didnt remove and Windows keeps installing unwanted ini files and other trash every time I use them in somebody elses machine or in an internet cafe). I deleted quite a few files, but some are stubborn. $ sudo chmod +w-X doesnt seem to work. How do I unprotect and remove them? The filesystem is vFAT.
I suspect the files were created by some kind of a trojan as my work requires my flash to be pretty promiscuous. When I 've backed up all the good files I need, I'd be happy to reformat the flash drives as straight vanilla data storage and retrieval, provided I can still use them on a variety of machines running MS windows as well as on my Linux machines. Any guidance on reformatting?
I have 3 c++ files, classdef.h (header file with class definition), methods.cpp (class methods) and program.cpp - the program itself. Both .cpp files have
Code:
#include "classdef.h"
in files. How I can link the files together and compile them in one executable program? I am using Geany IDE for coding.
I need to strip the executable flag from all files within a certain directory and sub directories. Right now I'm doing it with a 2 step process
find /dir/ -type f -exec chmod ugo-x {} ; find /dir/ -type d -exec chmod ugo+rx {} ;
Is it possible to modify the first line so that I can strip exec flag from all non-directory files? Since this needs to be done on a fairly regular basis across a lot of directories and files, I'd prefer not to use a bash script which would slow it down.
I checked the 'Run executable text files when they are opened' option in Nautilus preferences. I have noticed that files such as .sh and .bin launch by simply clicking on then (which is great). However I have also noticed that an ordinary .txt and .html file must not be marked as executable in order to launch it in Gedit and Firefox respectively via clicking. Otherwise you must right click and open with every time. What file types need to have execute permissions? What file types never need to have execute permissions?
I hope this post stands in the right section.I have a commandline i need to enter in terminal when i want to run a program. i tought lets put that piece of command in an .sh file and just click the file to run the program (then i dont need to open terminal first an give in the command) however the .sh file does not open the program. so i propably need to make a executable (application/x-executable).
I am running into a snag on .exe files in Lucid. I have Wine installed, but I can not open the file as it is blocked from executing with a window popping up telling me that this file was blocked due to security reasons. I go into the files properties and try to change the permission but that does not help. Is there a way to get around this? Possibly in the terminal as root?
