Just go to the directory it's in and type "sudo chmod 755 .bin" You will be promoted for your password, supply it. Then you simply type ./.bin And it should install. You don't need Wine - it isn't a Windows application, as far as I know. Sean -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubunt

Hi, You will need to make the binary file executable first. Right click on the file, select properties and go to the permissions tab. There should be a checkbox saying something like "Make executable". Tick the box. Should then be a case of double clicking on it. Although I'm sure it depends on W

Greetings, I am giving a talk on the open source movement to a group next week. There is a video projector which works well when I tried it with Windows on my Vaio laptop. In windows you can toggle the display by pressing Fn+F7. I want to use Ubuntu Intrepid on the same laptop for my presentation.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with eeepc. Nor what the Kernel differences are. Which is the default option (the one its on when the menu first comes up). If is the 3rd option, then try booting the first (probably the latest) kernel. Also, when you say "it shows you are running". Where are you getti

Well, that's no good, I noticed that the third option was the eeepc option, which is what it boots up into, and when I tried the the 5th option, it doesnt pick up the wireless network at all, its as if its isnt even installed. The funny thing, as I have already mentioned, even though I click o

Not sure if anyone has read it, but there is an article in the current issue of Micro Mart (12-18 March) about a Windows user attempting to install Ubuntu. Biggest concern is under 'Evening Four' where he tries to edit menu.lst and finds he can't save it as he doesn't have the right permissions

No, I'm OK now - this was from one month to one week ago, when I was in the same position as you, with a new linux machine that wouldn't talk to the network, and an old windows machine that would. Now, they both do, so I'm one happy fella. On Tue, 2009-03-17 at 10:39 +, John wrote: > Oh dear,

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Netbook suddenly stopped recognising network..,..,

Hi, thank you so much. It does seem like something has broke it. I pressed escape when starting the netbook, to see which kernel its starting, and it is the eee pc kernel, so it looks like something has been installed over it. As far as anything else, I am worse off than you, I'm a newby with

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Games

Rik, I think that the main problem for gamers coming to Linux is that there isn't any 'big name' games available, unless you want to try using Wine/Crossover. However, there are games for Linux if you are prepared look. I bookmarked the following articles some time ago that might be of interest:
