Can't chroot in suse

shame · 11-30-2006, 11:29 PM

I'm trying to chroot into one of my other distros from suse but I get this error -

Code:

/usr/bin/chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Permission denied

I'm probably missing something really obvious here but what am I doing wrong?

Who are you logged in as when you run chroot? What do the permissions look like if you ls -l /usr/bin/chroot? You may need to do a chown user:group //usr/bin/chroot on the file to get the permissions correct, and a chmod to open them up.

Regards,

Randy.

Permissions are root:root
I've tried running chroot both using sudo and su-ing to root with the same error.
This is in suse factory but I've booted into suse 10.1 and I get the same thing.
I've booted into fedora, kanotix and ubuntu and can chroot fine so I did do what I was trying to do but I would still like to sort out the problem in case I need to do it in the future.
Permissions on chroot are also root:root in the other distros.
