It seems you are onto something i have just copied a the file which was causing problems with the nss build to my home dir and it ran but if i try to run it from the tmp dir it fails even thought the permissions are fine

I think there is some thing in fstab which will stop things being run so will look into that later thanks again.

pg99 Thanks for that at least i now know its 100% me again!

Do you get any output from

Code:

mount |fgrep noexec

I have commented out the line in fstab and everything is now working thanks for all the help. I will look into the correct fstab settings after i fix chrome as i dont know how i managed to use ff for so many years it seem terrible now.

What worked for me was to run the NVidia script with a -x, then cd into the directory created and run the ./nvidia-installer directly.

Remove the noexec flag from tmpfs in /etc/fstab and remount /tmp

Code:

mount /tmp -o remount
