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

Regards.

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.

Well, then looks like the fire is corrupted. Maybe try redownload it from

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.
