Ubuntu :: Firefox Setup Not Marked As Executable
Jul 1, 2011
I'm new to ubuntu, and I've been trying to get shockwave running on firefox using the instructions here: [URL]. However, when I try to open firefox with wine, I get this message.
"The file '/home/Downloads/Firefox Setup 5.0.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."
I looked into this, but I don't understand what I'm doing well enough to assign file permission to this program.

I have just installed Ubuntu 10.4 and having problems reinstalling an app I used to use routinely on 9.10 using wine 1.2 - Is there way round this? I tried installing from USB hard drive and CD and just get this: I don't know whether it is a wine or OS issue.The file '/media/Data disc (23 Jun 10)/macromedia8/Fireworks8-en.exe' is not marked as executable.If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details,read about the executable bit

I want to run minecraft, but when clicking Minecraft.jar it wont cuz of Ubuntu's policy crap. Is there a way to turn this off, because this is worse than Windows UAC. If not, using Java SDK 6, how can I run it? I'm assuming it's a terminal command since wine lets you get around the restrictions with a sudo wine command.

So I'm following the online tutorials I've found to install sketchup, and I've run into a snag right off the bat. The instructions I've found say to open the Sketchup exe file by right clicking and selecting open with Wine I do this and I get a box stating that the file is not marked as an executable. How do I fix that? Step by step instructions would be best since I only just installed ubuntu for the first time two days ago

When I move files from Windows to Linux using a USB drive, all files are marked as executable. Then double clicking on a ".txt" file gets you the ridiculous dialog box asking whether you want to display the file or execute it. (NOTE: The /etc/fstab entry for the USB mount includes the "noexec" option already and it hasn't helped.) Now that my wife and daughters are moving files back and forth between the two OSs, I'm getting pestered for a solution to this and I haven't been able to track anything down. Yet.
What can one do -- presumably on the Windows side of the transfer -- to prevent these files from being marked executable? Or is it a hopeless problem caused by some dainbread decision made by a Windows developer?

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?

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).

when I have updated my ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04, many PPA have been disabled & I can't use them right now. I have checked about them in the repositiries & they are marked as diabled since updated to naty(11.04)...
So my question is, can I enable these repositiries(PPA) ?? Is it safe to re enable them or not ?? if not... what should I do now ?? I have many PPA that have been diabled, such as: rhythmbox,wine,weupd8 team ... much more...
I hope there is a soulution with that, since each time I upgrade my computer to the new version I'm facing this issue..

I did a clean install of 11.04 this morning. Upon logging in, Update Manager appeared, telling me there were 67 packages to upgrade. I obliged, and the update progress window appeared, as usual. At this point I realized it was not a convenient time to install the updates. No progress had yet been made; Update Manager had not downloaded anything, the progress bar had not moved, and the status was "waiting". I canceled the update and closed Update manager. However, upon running it again, it thinks that it successfully installed all the packages. In the "Ubuntu Software Center" Update history, it shows all those packages as having been updated with a timestamp of when I canceled the update. Apt-get and aptitude will not update the packages either. It seems like the packages have been marked as updated even though no update was installed. How can I rectify this problem and get the package managers to actually install the updates?

I just got a new desktop (the client) and hooked my "old" computer (the server) up to it with a crossover cable & NFS while I set up the new system.Unfortunately, while nfsd is running firefox cannot access the internet through ath0 -- the wifi card (NFS/rpc is on the ethernet card). Do I have to set up a proxy server (eg. squid) or is there a simpler solution?I don't need direct access to the net on the client. I just want to be able to use the wifi's IP in the server while it has a NFS client on eth0, so that firefox can work online.

When I try to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.4 the upgrade fails. I am not sure whats going on. I looked at the logs /var/log/dist-upgrade and grepped for hostname and found this:
apt.log:Investigating hostname apt.logackage hostname has broken PreDepends on upstart-job apt.log: Considering upstart 12956 as a solution to hostname 5103 apt.log: Removing hostname rather than change upstart-job main.log:2010-07-18 22:49:07,574 DEBUG The package 'hostname' is marked for removal but it's a ESSENTIAL package main.log:2010-07-18 22:53:01,415 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'The essential package 'hostname' is marked for removal.'
Why is hostname being marked for removal?

I have just bought a new computer and I want to partition it to be dual booting as I have done a few times in the past.
Currently (alternatively, see attached screenshot):
There are three partitions:
/dev/sda1: FAT16 DellUtility (takes very little space and is of no concern)
/dev/sda2: ntfs RECOVERY (takes up 17.58GB and is marked boot)
/dev/sda3: ntfs OS (the rest of the computer, on which windows is currently installed)
[Code].....
it is safe to delete the current boot partition. I am also not quite clear on when the recovery partition would be used and whether it is really all that necessary (18GB doing nothing seems like a lot to me). Should I make a system recovery media for windows before repartitioning? Also, I am not sure which type of ext partition to use. Finally, I am not sure how big to make the swap space. I think I recall the normal rule being twice the RAM (6GB RAM in my case), but 12GB swap space seems like a lot. Although I do sometimes run memory intensive programs (simulations for research). I normally use other computers for such simulations since they have far more RAM than my computer can possibly have even with a large swap space.

Due to this thread -> [URL] we discovered that my Fedora runs rc kernel. After several tries to update to stable one, no result came. I need your guidance to update my system.
What I tried:
yum update
yum update kernel
yum clean all
The result is the message:
[root@dimitris ~]# yum update kernel
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Update Process
No Packages marked for Update
Can I update to PAE kernel? This question is for i686 cause it cannot recognize all ram (4GB total, 3.2GB available). I run x86_x64 but I have this question...

I found this really cool guide / info about creating an internet portal where users have to register (their MAC) with the server to use the internet. basically if users MAC's are in the list they get routed to the internet if not they get routed to an internal page asking them to register. It works great and works well. I was wondering if there are some smart people out there who could help me reverse the process.. eg if your mac is not in the list you can access the internet if it is, you are redirected to an internal page saying "youve been blocked"
The firewall rules are as follows.
Code: IPTABLES=/sbin/iptables
# Create internet chain
# This is used to authenticate users who have already signed up
$IPTABLES -N internet -t nat
# First send all traffic via newly created internet chain
[Code]...

I'm using an old computer with Lenny for a few weeks. After updating OpenOffice last night from backports to 3.2 and doing an update this morning, there is a long list of packages and libraries in the auto removable section of Synaptic that I suspect or am absolutelt certain that I don't want to remove (Rhytmbox, for example).

I have been having problems hibernating my windows 7 partition recently. It happened approximately right after I set up the dual boot.
I have found other topics where it says to make sure that the windows 7 partition is marked as the active partition. I have since done so and it has not changed anything. I did it with Partition Magic on Windows. I did find it suspicious though that my Dell Recovery partition is labeled as boot while the Windows one is marked as Active and System.
However when I looked at it using disk utility in Ubuntu the windows 7 partition is marked as Bootable while the recovery partition is not.
Hibernation works on Ubuntu with a couple error messages while shutting down and some weird screen issues while booting up. But it ends up working decently.
Under Disk Utility the Ubuntu Partition is not marked as Bootable. Should it be?
