please show me how to deal with chown

nan0meter · 08-30-2007, 08:03 AM

Code:

chown root:root RealPlayer10GOLD.bin <return>
chmod +x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin <return>
./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin <return>

This is what you need to do. chown changes the owner and group of the file. As you can see i changed the owner of RealPlayer10GOLD.bin to user root and group root

Code:

chown username:group filename

And please be patient while people are typing so don't double post. Just to keep the forum clean.

[root@ratm Real]# chown root:root RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
chown: changing ownership of `RealPlayer10GOLD.bin': Operation not permitted
[root@ratm Real]#

And before you do this, do a

Code:

su -

to root

As you can see on the # which means he is already root. Please try to change the permissions with nautilus, thunar or konqueror.

- is your partition mounted with NOEXEC ?
- is the immutable attribute set to that file ? (lsattr / chattr)

To check if you can execute anything just save this (as root) as test.sh in the same directory where you want to run RealPlayer from. To make it executable first run

Code:

chmod +x test.sh

The test script

Code:

#!/bin/sh
echo "This script works fine!"
