Solutions for most problems are already around, just keep your eyes open ;)

What exactly did you try to do?

I did the chmod +x stuff in the gnome terminal and tried to run it with the sh command. I also tried doing it as root and in the dos like mode u get with ctrl alt f1 (with same commands). Please correct my stupidity.

Maybe your filesystem that you downloaded the installer to is mounted as a no-execute volume ? Check your fstab options.

I checked the fstab (i think) but i have no idea how to check if its set to no-execute. only been using linux 5 days.
it said this though:
/dev/hda5 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda6 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda7 swap swap defaults 0 0

does that help?

Nah I don\'t think so if any distro has noexec by default on its file system.
Look, enter the directory where is the installer and type ls -al

Didnt work i just downloaded for windows instead. When i get fedora i\'ll try it again it might just be something with mandrake. thnx for the help though.

I meant, enter the directory, type ls -al and paste results here...

Instead of \"sh executable\", try \"./executable\". Also, check the extension. If it\'s something like .tgz, then it\'s compressed and you\'ll have to extract it first.

You can easily check if the file is corrupted by running md5sum on it:
md5sum PlaneShift_CBV0.3.007-1.x86.run
If the output doesn\'t match with

Code: [Select]


96ff91284457074e403c01b9d6807b93  PlaneShift_CBV0.3.007-1.x86.run

it is really corrupted and needs to be redownloaded.

I noexec-flag volumes that I wont be running anything executable from, like generic \'archive\' style bunches of stuff, software, source code, packages and other stuff.

flaringpain, what are you using to download? Browser based download methods are not as reliable or efficient as downloading via gftp, wget and other similar tools, in my opinion, plus they usually dont have the option of resumable downloads or uploads. Which is a nice thing if you are trying to get a 200MB+ executable or .iso over a modem link.

Bittorrent should be very reliable too, it does all sort of error checking in the background as its downloading.

I am just using the browser to download i\'ll be using something different next time i download. And Karosh it didnt match that so i\'ll be getting it again asap. Thnx for the help people even though it was only for a corrupt downlad (:

The file is corrupt, he should download it again (with wget for example)
