[ubuntu] How to make a file executable

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I have downloaded OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime because I need it to enable my Internet Scrabble Club game. I did it using the Terminal. But when I try to use it I got the following message: "The file '/home/sandra/Desktop/wordbiz.jar' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit." I did download it from a trusted source, and I do want to make it executable, and I don't understand the complicated instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions P (Hardware)

[ubuntu] Installing Java 1 year 18 weeks ago

Using release 11.04

I'm trying to get onto freenet, which requires java runtime environment to be installed.

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".

I need to run the executable file by double clicking.While double click the executable its asking below message "Myapp" is an executable file. Do you want to execute it? with option Executable Execute in Terminal Cancel

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

I am on Ubuntu 12.10 and i was wondering it there is a tool or an "Box" to run an executable inside it. And by doing so check if the executable is malicious...

maybe a virtual machine where i can see everything that the executable is doing!

Or the tools that the specialists who works for antivirus companies and task forces uses!!!

I wouldn't mind something with a graphical interface

Ubuntu downloads 3 years 15 weeks ago

I installed Ubuntu yesterday and its finally running right(I think.) I found a website for Linux users https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ListOfOpenSourcePrograms and im trying to download a antivirus.

Well, I have 3 network shares and I have made 3 different shortcuts on my desktop to go directly to these locations, but since I upgraded from Xubuntu 12.04 to 13.04 I'm not able to open these locations anymore.

This question copied over from Super-User, where it was apparently unwelcome. Anyway, asked and answered:

I'm setting up a GitHub account and have downloaded Git's git-credential-osxkeychain executable via the Password Caching section of GitHub's instructions. But... I am paranoid enough to look for some reassurance that I've got my hands on the right thing.
