Login as normal user on desktop. Open a terminal window. You will be asked for the rootpassword when executing commands below.
First do:
su -c ‘chown YOURUSERNAMEHERE Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin’
Then:
su -c ‘chmod 755 Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin’
Now you can run:
./Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin

That should be it. This is caused by the fact that your username has a different user-id on Ubu than openSUSE

It’s because he’s using -x when he should be using +x.

removes, + adds.

@Knurpht
Still The Same

bash: ./Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin: Permission denied

@Chrysantine
I tried Evry Thing
I Assume That I Tried Even / and *
Best Regards

Chrysantine · August 25, 2009, 12:00pm

While in the directory:
chmod a+rx Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin

Then run it with ./Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin

@crystantine
nothing here

chmod: changing permissions of `Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin’: Operation not permitted

deano_ferrari · August 25, 2009, 12:04pm

You need to have root privileges to change the permissions. Try

su (to become root, enter root password when prompted)
chmod +x Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin

The following command to list attributes

ls -l Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin

Post output here if you’re still not sure.

sudo/su
didn’t work
they doesn’t show any error
but they doesn’t chmod

mmarif4u · August 25, 2009, 12:07pm

Open terminal and type:

su

enter your root password and do the rest mentioned above. 1st use chown and then chmod as Knurpht and Chrysantine stated.

> Back to chmod any Idea ?

Could you execute following commands and save&send terminal session here?

sudo bash
ls -a
chmod +x Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin
ls -a
exit
ls -a

As root do:

boven:~ # ls -l Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 25 13:39 Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin
boven:~ # chmod a+x Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin
boven:~ # ls -l Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Aug 25 13:39 Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-i686.bin

Thank you for not using Linux filesystems and not saying so.

I quit from here because I do not know anything about windows including its filsystem types.
