Fadix2 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I don't remember I had this problem with Mandrake 10. When I log on su, I can not execute a .run, it denies my permissions, I have not checked if root had all the permissions yet, but is it normal that they will configure a Linux distro by not attributing all the permissions to root? BTW, yes the file is in /root..., so it is not due to a locked folder. Suppose that root has all the permissions it should, what other reasons could there be to deny me to run it? I have also tried on a native terminal (not a one via the x-windows), and it does the same exact thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 In order to execute anything in linux, execute permissions must be set. You do this using the chmod command. There are different ways to specify the command line parameters but I usually do: chmod 755 file This sets the read, write, and execute permissions as : 1 1 1, 1 0 1, and 1, 0, 1 for the owner, group, and everyone else. In this case, the owner will have read/write/execute permissions. The group and everyone else will only have read/execute permissions. I think this is most likely what you have to do for the .run file you are trying to execute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadix2 Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I forgot to thank you. I feel dumb having forgotten to set the files permission to execute it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
