I downloaded a .bin file yesterday and I ran into a very weird problem. I downloaded the .bin file and issued the chmod command (chmod +x Savage2Install-1.5.0-i686.bin) to give the file executable permissions, and even changed the permissions to 777 (under both my username and as a root user). I check the permissions, and the permissions for the file are now -rwxrwxr-x. Which means I should be able to execute the file, but when I try (with the command ./Savage2Install-1.5.0-i686.bin), both as a normal user and as a root user, I get the following message:
I got the file installed because I moved it to a different folder, but I think the real problem is that the partition the directory is in (which is not the normal /home partition for Linux) is not allowing me to change the permissions of the files and directories on it. I’m not sure how to change this, but I have seen this happen before. Does anyone know how to change the partition setup to allow me to change my file permissions?
If you want more complicated permissions, you’d have to change defaults to what you want, like uid=1000 and stuff. After rebooting the new permissions should be in effect
