http://www.portablelinuxgames.org – These are stand-alone executable packages. They have two personalities: Sometimes they think they're an ELF executable, so you can just run them and play these awesome games, if you have execution credentials (chmod +x [package file]). Sometimes, they think they're an ISO file, so you can also mount them with fuseiso, acetoneiso, or your ISO management application of choice, and peek what's inside. (Resources)

Stories similar to Portable games for Linux

I am trying to run Portable Truecrypt from a USB Pendrive. I already extracted the package and all but the only way it really opens Truecrypt is if the executable is on my home folder. It never works when the executable is on the pendrive.

I downloaded the Linux executable for Unetbootin 494, and now I'm trying to run it. As root, I made it executable and attempted to execute it:

chmod +x unetbootin-linux-494 ./unetbootin-linux-494

Nothing happens and no output is displayed. ps -e | grep unetbootin shows nothing either. The file's size looks right (4.3 MB), although I don't see a checksum on sourceforge with which to verify it.

Hi there,

After I performed fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 on sda drive, I cannot change perms on one of the files to make it executable.

I own the file as a user, i ran chmod as user or root with either +x, or u+x, or 700. Command runs, but file is still rw, not rwx.

I even tried to right click on it using GUI, then click the box for the "executable".

Its running Fine when I press executable. How to run the executable without above message display? in linux.

Is it possible to open an executable file and pass user credentials through the perl script. If yes Please do share the CPAN module names and the way to access the executable file.

How can I run an .sh file in eclipse instead of an executable?

I need to start the executable with a special command. My sh file would look like this optirun ./executable
