okay, I just chmod the .bin file, now how do I run it? ./[file name]?
-
yes ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.020-x86.bin
-
I keep getting this message
bash: ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.020-x86.bin: Permission denied
any ideas?
-
Did you searched the Linux Foren for this Problem?
The chmod Command lets you tune the execution Flags for User, Group and others.
Open a Shell and execute,
man chmod
to see how to use this Command.
You have to change the Execution Flag to your User or Group you are own.
Please buy a good Linux Book or search more in the Internet to solve basic Problems on Linux.

-bash: ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.020-x86.bin: Permission denied]

have you tried running as root with su or sudo? don't forget to change perms to 777 or ownership/group to username/users
-
tried perm 777
tried as root
same problem every time

I bet you are using ubuntu, other ubuntu users have had similar problems with this, search the forum there were some solutions can't remember what though.
-
Using Kubuntu here and no issues installing with that order :p
Edit: Kubuntu Gutsy 7.10, btw

Strange, as root you should have access to any dir :p

Okay, Newbies out there who wants install a [Filename].bin file then just type chmod a+x [Filename].bin that causes changing non-executable file into executable file then type ./ or sh to execute this file to run a installer :thumbup: :thumbup: :)
In chmod setting for file that a+x filename.bin that "+" is causes this file will be becomes be executable and chmod a-x that "-" causes this file becomes be permission denied and will not be to run executable.
Try type chmod a+rwx [filename].bin --- that is given full permission to access and executable this file as read, write and executable. I hope that will be helpful to you :D
And one thing: If you don't want someone to write or alter a file just type chmod a+rx [Filename].bin that will be read only and executable to let you to execute a file to run.
I learned about chmod permission system things :)

What about the post install script error?
-
I am pretty sure the default while installing is "Install system wide".
So hand some details:
Do you install as root? Or as user not disabling the systemwide install?
Same thing with the option about "Icons installed system wide".
I would guess that error might occur when installing as user, then the installer fails due to lack of permission to install systemwide, into root-folders that is - just a guess.
Cheers

I do not need a root to run install... I can do install a client in user mode only. So no error report after install in user mode. Leave system wide "no" default that should work fine while installing in your own user mode space...

I know, as my install is a user install as well. Yet installing as user and trying to set it up systemwide will fail.
But dmentaustro' issue may occur due to his attempt to install as user while during the process the installer tries to write into root-folders without sufficient permission.
[..] when the instalation is almost done i have a "Post Install Script" error[..]
I didnt reproduce it, and I dont know what exactly dmentaustro did, yet may be worth a try.

Leave system wide "no" set default

Or as user not disabling the systemwide install?
Well yes.. thats what I suggested.

Let me know how it goes installing a game client in your user mode :)
-
I downloaded it, made it executable, sh'ed the .bin and while the process I disabled the systemwide install - so yes, all as user, not root, surprising, eh? Oh wait no uhm.. you installed as user yourself..;)
Oh, and before you go on asking, the following was meant as a trial to find the mistake HE did:

I cant see whats unclear here.

If you want to install system wide then you should be in root mode or superuser mode to install system wide.

If you want to run a ubuntu as root then use it at your own risk! I strong suggest you to run ubuntu in user mode in your own user space unless you re doing a maintenance in root mode.
-
so, how do i solve my problem?

Just create your user space. Please see your ubuntu manual about creating user or user group so go to: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/keeping-safe/C/users.html
-
srr but that doesnt answer my question.. i just want to know why i get that error.. i'm not as root..
-
Open terminal
Go to the directory where the bin is.
execute "sudo ./nameofprog.bin"
Enter your root passwd (same as yours if you installed the system, prolly)
Don't close term until installation is finished

austro@Pedro-PC:~$ sudo ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.019-x86.bin
sudo: ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.019-x86.bin: command not found
lol

You have to give it execution rights (chmod... etc) or via Dolphin/konqueror/insert other file browser here
-

You might consider trying to download again, it could be a corrupt download. Also are you running 64bit linux or 32bit linux?
