Ubuntu :: Get A Box Stating That The File Is Not Marked As An Executable?
Aug 5, 2010
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
I've installed wine several times in ubuntu 11.04 but after the installation when i click on the wine icon it gives an warning message "The file 'wine' 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 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.
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.
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'm trying to setup a keyboard-command to open my downloads folder. Simple enough. To get things started off I did $ gnome-open /home/user (my name where user is) and it opens my user home directory. But when I get to adding downloads to the end of it it gives me this $ gnome-open /home/user/downloads Error showing url: Error stating file '/home/User/downloads': No such file or directory As far as I can tell there is most obviously a downloads directory in my user folder. I also get this error when trying to open any other home folder, like music, or pictures.
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 have NDISWRAPPER installed on my laptop, but when I try to install the download file which is a Windows Xp dos executable file of 8mbs I have tried every thing but without success I can see my Iomega 250 Zip drive when I go into system>administration>disk utilities and acess properties but cannot make it run,
In a project I'm working on with a few other people, I got the task of writing an assembler. The last thing I do is convert the commands into a binary representation, and jam it into a file. Now one of my teammates said he'd like to be able to "reference" the code within another program. He said he'd be able to do this if the file I output is a Linux object file. I'm thinking it'd also work as an executable. Anyway, he said he'd like to be able to grab the file and reference the binary by address. I'm still fuzzy on this, and if you're confused with what I said here, please tell me so I can ask him for better details.Anyway, I'm aware that gcc can compile files to ".o", but that's only for C/C++, and my file is just binary. I'm also aware of "ld", but I haven't seen any use of it to help me. I'm happy to hear suggestions as to what I can do. If anything, I think I'll implement a few functions to grab the bits and hand them to him in an array or something.
I'm using ubuntu 11.04, I'm having some problem of ownership while sharing folder/files. to share i change the folder share option:1. Share this folder, then followed by 2.allow others to create and delete files in this folder3. guest access.Now if someone in my local network edit any file and save it, it gets locked. if some one copy their file in this folder the permission is marked as "no group" "no owner". and they get unaccessible to me. i tried doing chown <user> <folder> but it says Operation not permitted. Now how i can possibly share my folder on local network so that they can be edited by others without getting locked down , if they copy files i can able to modify them.
I am fairly new to Linux systems but I have a code that I just compiled and it produced an executable file that I need to run but I have no idea how to run that file. Is there a certain command to type to do it?
i installed "littler" from Synaptic. it's a front end for R, for those curious. it's not in my start menu. i searched for the app and don't know where it is. assuming i can find it, how do i set things up so that i can run it from a listing in the start menu? sorry to be so basic, but i mean from locating this app to getting it to start to making it available in the start menu, how would i do this
It so happens that some files that I am trying to make executable by chmod +x <filename> or otherwise are not becoming executables, rather the tick mark on the option is removed the very instant I put it on . Is there any thread of virus or any other reason for this.
I downloaded eclipse from the eclipse site..i had to make the main eclipse file executable..but i cant do that..when i click on "Allow executing file as program"..the tick disappears in a second..

My system was working fine. I followed a thread online to try to get samba to share better, installed "winbind" and now I can't get passed "Checking System Files" on boot up.
Upon boot, "Checking System Files": Starting Firestarter firewall .... fails. Starting samba daemons _ .... Just hangs there forever
Is there a way to get back into my system so that I can uninstall winbind, firestarter, or samba if need be?
In linux if we put the executable file in bin folder, we can run this file with out specifying its path. Could anyone please tell the similar option in Windows OS.
I have recently installed OpenOffice.org and I can't find any executable file that actually starts up OpenOffice.
What is the equivalent to the old "soffice" executable which previously would start up OpenOffice?
I installed by executing the "setup" program after extracting the archive, I selected pretty much all of the items to be installed (at least the essential ones) and then let it install -- I didn't get to choose the path to install to, but I saw it stated that this would be installed under /opt.
I see two directories:
Neither of which contains any readily identifiable file that is the main program. What file should I execute?
