Need help please. (Linux)

<< < (2/2)

Elbenfreund:
well, im not shure if it helps, but given the lack of information it might be worth a try.
the text editor thing might be the result of some bad configuration so your desktop manager doesnt know if you want to run or edit the file... and does both options.

pls try the following:
1)download the single file to a place you can find with your console
2)open some terminal / consol kind of...
3)go to the dir the file you downloaded is located in
4)type "ls"
5)type "./name_of_the_file.run

now it should check the file integrity and open up some kind of install script afterwards, if not you might get some kind of error msg which you might post here...

thanks and good luck, eric

alexjustdoit:
Thanks i will give it a try.

alexjustdoit:
Nope, when i did that it just launched it and this time since i ran it for the third time and i had already made it copy files, itr deleted them. it says it was deleting the .run file but its still there. So nothing happened.

Bandobras:
Now that I think about it, that text edit might have been a terminal requesting root password... Or not...

Anyway, when you run the installer on the console it prints some information, possible some error messages to the console. It might help if you quoted them here.

Which Linux distribution do you use? Perhaps soon there will be packages for several distributions ready, so you will be able to try a more automated method...

:
Try  "chmod +x file_name.run" and then running. Linux doesn't give activation keys to downloaded files.
